The Pumpkin Walk is upon us!

The Syracuse City pumpkin walk begins tonight and will continue through Saturday (the 27th). It's open from 7:00pm-10:00pm each night and is free of charge, although usually the city has some sort of cheap concessions (typically cookies & cocoa or something along those lines).

If anybody's interested in checking it out, it's located at Centennial Park, right behind the Syracuse City Office Building: 1800 S. 2000 West, Syracuse, Utah.

To get there, travel on I-15 until you get to pretty much any Syracuse, Clearfield, or West Point marked exit (I'd tell you exact exit numbers, but since they re-numbered the exits there not too long ago, I really don't know what they are), and head West until you reach 2000 West, then just turn whichever way you need to go to get to 1800 S. Yes, these are probably the most general directions ever, but since I'm not giving a specific exit to get take, it's kinda hard to be more specific. Sorry!!

If you need more specifics, gimmie a call or email me or something!

What an exhausting week!

When I was a student at SDL I often wished I could work a few more hours each week to give me a little financial boost, but now that I'm working 30-40 hours each week, my GOODNESS!!! I had no idea how exhausting working full time and taking classes could be!!

Happily we're at another Friday, and I've got big plans. First I need to go to school...that'll be shortly...in about a half hour. Then I'll sit in class for 2 hours and try not to sleep. Next I'll meet with my project partner for one of my classes and we'll do homework for about 3 hours, and I'll try not to sleep. But THEN!! Woo!! Pumpkin Carving Party!! What I like to call, PCP! ..aw yeah...that's the good stuff.

I stayed up super late last night because once I'd finished all my homework I, of course, needed to find some ideas of things to carve. After scrouging around a bit I found 3 pictures on my computer that I converted into pumpkin carving patterns...if ya wanna see what they are, you better come carve a pumpkin at our house tonight!!

Tomorrow's also going to be a fun-filled day, as I am going down to West Point for a planning meeting for this year's pumpkin walk (where there's going to be a reporter from one of the local papers). Also tomorrow night my brother, my cousin, my best friend, and me are going to have a Halo 3 party! We're excited. In Halo 3 you can, apparently, have up for 4 people all playing through the story-mode of the game cooperatively...and that's always super fun! I'm a big fan of co-op play.

I can't believe it's already pumpkin carving time!! Such fun! Here's a pumpkin I carved 2 Halloween's ago. It took MUCH longer than I thought it would, and really didn't turn out a cool as I thought it would (considering how much time I spent), but I still thought it was a pretty good one. ...Good enough to share on here, at least. ^^
