Happy Halloween!

Tonight I did my most favorite thing to do on Halloween.  I went to my sister's house.  Sis lives in a super fun neighborhood with awesome neighbors and they always have a good time.  Normally on Halloween there would be a driveway party with a fire pit, chili/soup cooking, and adult beverages flowing while the dads took the kids trick-or-treating around the neighborhood.  This year the weather was a little yucky so the driveway party didn't happen, but we had a fun time nonetheless.  We started the night at one of the neighbors' houses eating chili and steak soup and drinking wine (duh).  After dinner we went back to Sis's house to gather everyone for Trick-or-Treating. 

This is Drew (nephew) and his buddies from the neighborhood.  Drew is the one in black and white with the light up mask.  I remember when they were little and would wear the cute, cuddly costumes.  Not anymore!  Scary is the thing when you're a 10 year old boy. 

My BIL, who was sick tonight, was a real trooper and still came Trick-or-Treating with us.  The mask was a precautionary measure to ensure the rest of us didn't catch whatever he had.  ;)

And don't think Sis didn't make sure we were all set with our to-go wine glasses. 

Mera (niece) wasn't trick-or-treating with us, but I did get to see her in her sweet owl costume earlier today.  Is she not the cutest thing you've ever seen?!

I haven't been trick-or-treating in years...like probably since I was young enough to trick-or-treat for myself.  So it ended up being a lot of fun walking around with all the families.  There were tons of kids out and we even met a couple of really cool families that were new to the neighborhood.  One house was playing a movie on a projector in their driveway so all the kids (and adults) would stop to watch for a bit.  With all the craziness out there it makes me happy that there are still neighborhoods that go all out like this for Halloween.  It takes me back to my childhood.  :)  I can't wait to do things like this with my own family one day if I am blessed with children. 

What did you do for Halloween?

Short Intro

Diary of a Single 30-Something.  This is gonna' be fun!

I'm Jessica and I live in the super cute, tiny town of Oxford, MS.  I just started back to school to study nursing, so at 34 and a half I'm the oldest person in college (haha).  As my blog title suggests, I'm not married, but between my sweet family, some super awesome friends, and my chardonnay, I'm one happy girl!  :)  I love wine, traveling, nights out on the town, tailgating, the south, and fashion (those last three going hand in hand...in hand), and I can't wait to share on these topics and more!  I'm super clumsy and I fall A LOT, mostly in public and in front of the whole world, so you'll definitely want to follow along for the shenanigans.
