Halloween in South Africa :)

Well, today is Halloween :)  Halloween isn't practiced here by Christians because it has too many associations with witchcraft, which is a major issue in Africa.  We were still allowed to have a party and dress up, but we weren't allowed to have any ghosts, witches, carving pumpkins, black cats, etc. Joey and I were originally not going to go to the party because 1. we had WAY too much homework and 2. we did not have a costume!  Well, about half an hour before the party we decided we would go, even if it was only for a little.  We had to find a costume that would work with what we already had so we decided to be the couple from the Notebook :) Allie and Noah!!  Joey borrowed a friends shirt and I borrowed the red sweater, but we had the rest of the stuff!! It turned out REALLY well except that it was raining so my hair fell pretty fast.  Overall, it was fun to get dressed up and take pictures :)  Now, we are back to working on homework! Wish us luck!! We love and miss everyone back home!!
