2004

Recently graduated. No friends. I think I watched reruns of Survivor and cried myself to sleep.  Easily my scariest costume.

2005 - 2006

Still no friends.  I would compare these years to the Jordan baseball years.  Basically, the Halloween party commissioner told me that I needed to take a break for the good of the game.

2007

Costume - Devil horns.  **This was easily my worst effort.  I had spent the entire day in downtown Seoul, first at a Soccer tournament and then running errands.  I was planning on not going to this party when Frank Peterson called me.  I was at Papa John's (in Korea, yes)  planning on spending $25 to get a pity pizza.  There was only one reason why I relented and went to that party...I thought a girl I had met a month earlier might be there.

Event - SIS/KIS joint Halloween party.

Result - If there was a last place, I might have gotten it.  More importantly, that girl was there, and my charm plus my terrible costume got me a date with said girl.  And now, that girl is my wife.  My best prize!

2008

Costume - Michael Phelps

Event - SIS/KIS joint Halloween party.

Result - Snubbed.  I was a photo favorite though.

Unfortunately for you, this cropped photo doesn't show that the bottoms are a speedo.

2009

Costume - Bob Ross (me) and a painting with happy trees (Becky)

Event - RIS Halloween Party

Result - 1st place.

2010

Costume - Cue-tip and Ear

Event - RIS Halloween Party

Result - 1st place.

What do you notice about this list?  First, in 2001, Texas A&M football was still relevant enough to get an ESPN show featuring the program.  Second, that is quite a list of domination.  Third, I am undefeated as a married man. (I wanted to make a joke hear about being defeated in marriage, but I like being married too much to even joke like that.  See...I really am defeated, I can't joke about it!)

One more observation: our last two blogs have been about our awesomeness.  I am going to attribute this raised level of confidence to the upcoming recruiting season.  We are in the process of looking for new jobs and thus need to sell ourselves.  Maybe I should just direct potential employers to this blog.  On second thought, maybe I should temporarily make this blog private.

A few more party pics below...

Becky and Erin.  Erin was dressed as a human.
