Fallin'

Okay so we need EVERYONE's help with this one.  Yes, that includes you sitting at your computer minding your own business because this is  VERY important.  The following clip corresponds to our post title but we need help dicephering the chorus.  Here's what we have narrowed it down to: ballin', fallin', stallin', callin', maulin'.  You can be the judge though!  Here it is:

With that pressing issue laid out let's get down to business.  Believe it or not, this is our first post where we will finally align our blog with the current events of our lives starting with Halloween!  Okay maybe not so current but we are getting there.

Being on a post-graduate budget, Bertolson decided to go the home grown route when making costumes.  Meghan achieved a lifelong dream of being a bunch of grapes (an idea inspired from the tender age of 8 when she saw someone pull this off on her street) and paying tribute to one of her favorite beverages: wine (and of course grapes and raisins too....please think of the wonderful health benefits!)  It was a relatively cheap costume to compose (only $32 if you include the wine) but a tad bulky at packed parties.  Nonetheless created  a nice buffer between herself and the drunk people.  Thomas won the prize of frugality though at $20 using a "dual" costume.  From one angle. he was Antoine Dodson (please see http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y54yESyq6Io for reference) and from the other was the face of blaxsploitation.  See photos for details below.  Overall a pleasant Halloween shared with good friends and afforded the perfect people watching opportunity at overcrowded social events.

The making of fruit...

Waiting for the festivities to start.

The finished product!

Doesn't this say it all?

If this isn't enough evidence that Thomas should get a PhD in sociology, then you need to provide a better example!

On the way to the social event...Don't be tardy for the party (Woah uh oh whoa-oh)!

Our friend as a moose!  She's from Maine, get it?

Moose + Karissa explains it all.  Bringing back the classic Nickelodeon!

Meeting our friends down the block before heading out for the evening.

Alright so now for our most recent update.  Are you ready for this?  You sure?  Okay, here is goes:

So there you go!  Well okay maybe it's slightly more exciting.  As of late, Bertolson has experienced a life of semi-separation. *GASP* yes we know very upsetting.  Thomas, when not getting buffed up at the gym or working long evenings at the symphony, spends the majority of his time hanging out with his computer while Meghan when not caught in EMS training or driving between PA and CT  remains married to her laptop as well.  Whoa that was an illuminating summation of our lives.  However the end is in sight!  No, we are not getting desperate and tempting to jump off the 15th street bridge.  Instead applications should be done by the end of the month and we can start getting into some trouble.

Up next for our post, hopefully an exciting adventure or two and the announcement of upcoming travel plans.

Until then, cheers!
