Halloween...and stuff :)

I have to say-this Halloween was pretty spectacular. Shaun and I carved pumpkins together, which was so much fun! He and I laughed the entire time we were carving them. The pumpkins were "drunk" and one of them was puking. While not original, it was hilarious! Saturday evening, Shaun, Heather (his sister) and I all went out for Halloween parties. There were some pretty interesting costumes. Our friend Steve was dressed as the guy from 300, and he made sure that he wore as little clothing as possible-it was literally a cape, sandals and this little pair of fake leather speedos (that he sewed himself!) Our friend Chuck went all out and dressed as Pinhead from some horror movie....I always forget the name! He looked awesome!

Sunday was a pretty huge day-I met Shaun's family (well, some of them). I know how important his mom is to him, so meeting her was something that I have been very excited to do. She was very funny, and very nice. I liked everyone I met and I got along very naturally with them (which is generally the case). I am so glad that he cares enough about me to where he wants me around his family. That says a lot about our relationship and how much value he puts into me. I'm also really glad that we haven't rushed right into dating and then meeting the family (back to back). Everything about this just felt right; then again, everything about Shaun feels right. He's amazing.

On an unrelated note, I received a phone call from the Peace Corps at work-they were checking to see if I received my letter yet, and if not, to call them back. I did return their phone call and advised that I have in fact not received my letter and asked them to re-send it to me. At this point, I'm simply curious to see what they have to say. I know that I want to help people-it's something I feel I need to do with my life...I'm just starting to doubt if I was meant to do the PC. Could it be a sign that this is not my path?
