Halloween

For Halloween we had a little pre-party at Cat and Dani's house with the girls. Julio had to work that night and work early the next day. Halloween night we went to Karla's sister's annual Halloween party at the Alameda theater downtown. Her sister and husband rent out the fourth floor of an old theater in downtown San Antonio every year and hire a DJ and several bartenders. The party was a blast and we saw lot's of funny/interesting costumes. The funniest one had to be a girl that dressed as the tabloid favorite "Octomom." She had a long haired wig, big fake lips, and sling filled with eight little baby dolls. Pretty disturbing lol.

I was Madonna if you can't tell. I'd say I did pretty well for a costume on a budget :-)

Other updates:
As many of you may know, we've had quite the run-around with our apartment building since we moved in. The latest episode has been the frequent flooding of our unit after heavy rainstorms. After the third time it occurred without adequate exterior repairs being done by the management we threatened to break the lease if they didn't move us to a 3rd floor apartment with an extra room. So Friday we will be moving upstairs to a larger apartment that has an extra study with a built in desk. Although it doesn't have many of the upgrades we currently have, it is more spacious and the extra room will be especially nice for visitors (that is a hint to everyone to come and visit us!).

Friday is the last day of my internship. I signed a contract with my internship organization to write the report that I have been researching for throughout my internship. It will be a big project, but the majority of the research is done and I expect to be able to finish it by mid December. In the mornings I will continue working for the IT company. I am job hunting again, but more than searching and applying for jobs, I am keeping in touch with the contacts I have made during the course of my internship to see if anything turns up that is well suited to my interests and skills.

Hope everyone is doing well!
