The Beginning

This is my first attempt at blogging. One of my largest obsessions has become Halloween and decorating my house/yard for that one day every year. Most of my free time is spent planning it and with this year I will be building a lot of the props for it... I doubt that anyone will read this or even care but here goes....
    It all started back on October 31, 2004. That is the day that my best friend and I got married. For me Halloween never was that big of a deal. I grew up in BFE South Carolina and in the 30 some yearsI lived there I can count on one hand the number of Trick or Treaters we had. My wife on the other hand grew up in Salt Lake City and apparently Halloween was something special to her.
   That first year, we didn't really decorate any. In 2005, we were living in a 2 bedroom apartment, and our decorations consisted of a few "window clings" that we purchased from Wal-mart or the Dollar store. However, in 2006 we had moved to a house, with a small front yard. My wife suggested that we decorate our yard for Halloween, so we got a few (like 5) tombstones from Wal-mart and a few bags of Spider webbing... and so it began.... Our yard haunt has slowly been growing each year... this blog will chronical the journey this year. We moved to Pensacola Florida the first week of January 2010. We have a small yard and I am now planning the haunt already.....
Until next time......home is where the haunt is......
