Current theme song

I now know what I will say when people ask why i'm not married yet. I have come to truely love this song! Its so PERFECT and it is now my life's themed song!

Lyrics:

Where have all the good men gone

And where are the gods?

Where's the streetwise Hercules

To fight the rising odds?

Isn't there a white knight
Upon a fiery steed?
Late at night I toss and turn
And dream of what I need

I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero till the end of the night
He's gotta be strong, he's gotta be fast
And he's gotta be fresh from the fight

I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero till the morning light
He's gotta be sure, he's gotta be soon
And he's gotta be larger than life, larger than life

Somewhere after midnight
In my wildest fantasies
Somewhere just beyond my reach
There's someone reaching back for me

Racing on the thunder
And rising with the heat
Isn't there a Superman
To sweep me off my feet?

I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero till the end of the night
He's gotta be strong, he's gotta be fast
And he's gotta be fresh from the fight

I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero till the morning light
He's gotta be sure, he's gotta be soon
And he's gotta be larger than life

I pray the mountains meet the heavens above
Out where the lightning splits the sea
I can swear that there's someone somewhere
Watching me

Through the wind and then the chill and the rain
And the storm and the raging flood
Oh, his approaches like a fire in my blood

I'll meet a hero
And then we'll dance till the morning light
Dreaming, he will lead me
Held tight, tonight's the night

I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero till the end of the night
He's gotta be strong, he's gotta be fast
And he's gotta be fresh from the fight

I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero till the morning light
He's gotta be sure, he's gotta be soon
And he's gotta be larger than life, larger than life

Larger than life
Larger than life
Oh baby, baby, baby, you know, ooh
Oh

For those who don't know, this song was in the original footloose that was released in 1984 but it was a fast version when Kevin Bacon was dancing in the mill. Well they recently remade the movie and they slowed the song down, and I LOVE IT! Makes me love the music from the movie so much more that they can do different versions of it and still have it be just as good of songs!

Halloween

So because Halloween was on a Monday this year, and most of my friends had to work, I really wasn't planning on doing anything Halloween night. I was going to just stay at home and hand out candy (aka eat the candy) to the trick or treaters. So no plans, meant no costume/no fun. :( The institute wasn't going to do a dance this year but in place of it they rented out the roller dome in Nampa. I was really looking forward to a dance because in years past, its been the best dance they have all year, and roller skating for a couple hours while your in a costume wasn't appealing to me at all.

Well luckily I hung out with a friend of mine the weekend before and she convinced me to go with her to the institute activity. Problem #1: Since I hadn't planned anything for a costume I had no idea what I was going to do and I really didn't want to repeat a costume from the past few years. Where's the fun in that? Well with an idea my best friend gave me earlier in the month, I decided to take a stab at it. Problem #2: The shirt that makes the costume was out of stock everywhere. So what to do now?

Well problem solved! My very talented mother said she could make it super easy. She use to make mine and my siblings costumes when we were little all the time and I think she enjoyed making a costume again for me. So...with a little magic, and a wave of her fairy wand, she finished it and it turned out great! 

Kimberly the pink power ranger. 

My friend (a minion) who convinced me to go to the party.

Indiana Jones, 3 minions, a pirate, and a power ranger. The world is safe!

The friend (Ivy) who gave me the idea for the costume.

Afterwards we "watched"/hid under the blanket while a scary movie was playing. 

 I came home and my mom put this on facebook. I was 6 years old when the picture on the right was taken. My little brother was the blue power ranger that same year. 

It was a fun Halloween! I loved my costume! Thanks to my mom (for sewing/making my shirt at the last moment), Ivy (for the costume idea) and to Kim (for making me go).
