Sadie Hawkins

Not only did we go to Sadie Hawkins this year, but I "asked" Jon, like we were still in college. Yes, I've come a long way since we got married a few years ago and I didn't really want to do anything that had to do with the college that we didn't have to. 

It was a last minute idea, and I recruited Ember to do it with me and ask Chris too, so I wouldn't feel like as much of a dork. So, when Chris and Jon came out of their meeting, there was a trail of Hershey kisses leading to their offices. 

Then there was a poster telling them to figure out the question by putting the cupcakes that were in their offices together.

  When in proper order the cupcakes said, "Now that we've kissed the ground you walk on, will you be our dates to Sadies?"

It was silly but fun, and they were very pleasantly surprised that we did this for them. 

They even "answered" us by taking us to Cheesecake Factory and having the waitress write "yes" with chocolate syrup on out dessert plates. More silliness, but still fun. 

Sadies was at Magic Moutain, and, if you're like me and haven't been there in a while, it's not the family amusement park it used to be. It is in bad need of remodeling, and because of gang problems, you have to walk through metal detectors to get in! But, there were no lines whatsoever, and it has amazing roller coasters, so we had a blast. Also, it's October, so it was Fright Fest that night, which meant that people in terribly disturbing costumes were wandering around jumping out at people. I chickened out on the maze.(The theme was circus sideshow freaks..no thank you. That's a creepy enough idea in real life.) But, I did my fair share of jumping and screaming, nonetheless. 

Over all, it was such a fun day. I'm really glad that we went!
