Busy Week

This week has been a very busy week. It started of with Halloween. Can there be any more of a crazy fun holiday than Halloween? Of course, we leave the process of finding costumes until the night before Halloween. I thought it would be a good idea to make Mike wear the same costume that I had last year. If you want to see what this was, take a look. I am the one on the right, the old woman

I am not so sure that Mike was excited about being an old woman. I had to do some convincing and we had to buy a grey wig. I had used my own hair and sprayed it grey, of course we couldn't do that with Mike. Well, Mike started to get excited, especially when we found an old man's mask. He told me that if he was going to be the old lady, I was going to be the old man! OK, I would do it. This is what we looked like. It was awesome. I went to work all day as the old man, weirded some people out and had fun doing it! After work, Mike and I stopped by our ward's trunk or treat. We confused the bishop as he didn't know who the old lady was! hahaha! Anyway, we were told by a few people that our costumes were their favorite. We then left the trunk or treat and headed to Amanda and Cameron's to partake of some yummy chili and some of Amanda's scrumptious homemade cornbread. One day, I will try to make the cornbread and see if I do half as good a job! Halloween was definitely fun, except that we lost the belt on our car on the way home. That wasn't fun.

We really looked forward to the weekend, where we were spending some time in Park City. A couple of months ago, we had bought some time to stay up at Westgate, a 5 star resort up in Park City. We got 2 nights for $50 and they would give us a $50 gift certificate to be used on their premises (either at one of their restaurants or the spa.) All we would have to do is sit through a sales presentation for 90 minutes. You know, those high pressure sales presentations where they try to sell you something? We decided we could do it, enjoy the free weekend and say no at the same time. We were promised that we would be in a room with a kitchen, that it was a $250 a night room. We were excited. We got up there and were told, "We're sorry, we are all booked out (yeah right, we had reserved this a month ago) and need to put you in anther hotel. It is just as nice and just as big." Well, OK. They put us in the Park City Peaks Hotel. Turns out, we got the distinct feeling that you only get to stay in Westgate if you have purchased their timeshare package. The 90 minute presentation was 2 1/2 hours and every time we said no, they were like, "OK, it isn't for everybody." and they would proceed to bring somebody else to try to sell us on it. The Peaks hotel is a nice hotel, it just isn't what we were expecting. This is a picture of the Peaks. If anyone is planning on going to Park City, we would suggest that you stay here. Overall, it was a fun weekend, a chance to get away from real life, a chance to relax. even though we through another belt and learned that when Low Book Sales replaced our alternator, they either put in the wrong one or installed it wrong as it sits behind all the other wheels and tears through belts. Not a cheap problem to have...Well, we hope that everybody else enjoyed their Halloween and weekend as much as we did ours!
