Happy Halloween!

We had a Halloween party this year and as always, it was a blast. The costumes were great! I probably don't have everyone here, but you can see most of them.

Scott was a name tag! :D





In the middle is my neighbor, Miss Priss



And my personal favorite - the Three's Company crew!









Madonna with her newly adopted baby.






This one was cute - Dia del muerte






This is the same girl in two costumes - one a little more comfy for the later hours! :D
Rainbow Brite and a Keg!

Tiff's Halloween Costumes throughout the years

Since the blog is only about a year old, I am adding pictures of my costumes for the last 6 years. Halloween is my favorite holiday and I absolutely love to dress up.

This year, I was Pippi Longstocking. Everyone loved the costume because it brought back memories of their childhoods.

Last year I was a house plant. Random? I know.

In 2004, I was Mary Catherine Gallagher from Saturday Night Live and Superstar. "Sometimes, when I get real nervous...."

In 2003, I was Ozzy Osbourne.

In 2002, I was a tacky tourist.

In 2001, I was Jelly in the duo of peanut butter and jelly.

In 2000, the first year I got out of California, I was a genie.

A weekend of camping

My friends Jo and Steve planned a camping trip out East of San Diego and up in the mountains. There were 12 of us there and we had a great time. We hiked, played badmitten, had a campfire and ate a lot. Fun times!

Game night!

Some of Scott's friends had a game night party and it was so much fun. I love games! Taboo was the big favorite.

Jackson Hole and Mount Shasta

We next went to Jackson Hole, Wyoming to meet another of Scott's friends, Beck. That is such a beautiful area of the country! I had seen it in the winter, but the fall is definitely the time to be there. The beauty of the Tetons with the pine trees, the Golden Aspens and the clear blue sky was amazing! We actually have just ordered a 20x30 of a picture we took there because it is so great. Beck took us floating down the river in his boat and taught us to fly fish. They were both laughing at my new girl techique.




We next went to Mount Shasta to visit Mark (or Moose, his new nickname). He was my stepdad for a short time when I was very young, but we have been back in contact over the last few years and I love hanging out with he and his wife, Anne. There were some beautiful views in this area too. Scott and I want to go back and climb Mount Shasta when we get into good shape again.

Up to Wisconsin

Scott and I drove up to Wisconsin to visit his friends and family and had a great time. In Milwaukee, we hung out with his parents and other family and lots of friends from high school and college. We went out one night to a German Beer Hall and had great beer in huge mugs. The guys also played a game where you had to see who could get a metal pin into crate in the least number of hits.

He also took me to his college in Madison and I saw the beautiful campus. It's right on a lake and has beautiful views. It was a really nice time of year to visit Wisconsin with great weather.

On our next long drive, we were on a back road in Wyoming and came upon a whole slew of cattle in the middle of the road. They were all running down the road right alongside cars! No one was around, but it looked like they had escaped. It was pretty funny.

More Friends and Family

In Atlanta (with more wonderful game-playing family), I was very fortunate to see my Grammy and other family who were all in town at the same time as me. We had a great time catching up and playing my favorite, charades. Also shown here is the beautiful sunset view from my Grammy's apartment of Atlanta.


Back in Nashville, I visited KT and baby boy. Isn't she such a precious pregnant gal!? The guy beside her in the second picture is not baby boy - that's Mark, the Mr. KT. :D

Scott came and picked me up in Nashville and I was able to show him around my old stomping grounds. We also went into the Parthenon which is in Centenial Park right across from the Vandy campus. This is a replica of what the Parthenon in Greece is expected to have looked like back in its hayday. It had been under construction through most of my college days, so it was nice to see it all finished.
