"Marriage is a commitment to life,
the best that two people can find and bring out in each other.
It offers opportunities for sharing and growth
that no other relationship can equal.
It is a physical and an emotional joining that is promised for a lifetime.
Within the circle of its love, marriage encompasses all of life's more important relationships.
A wife and husband are each other's best friend, confidant, lover, teacher, listener, and critic.
And there may come times when one partner is heartbroken or ailing,
and the love of the other may resemble the tender caring of a parent or child.
Marriage deepens and enriches every facet of life.
Happiness is fuller, memories are fresher,
commitment is stronger, even anger is felt more strongly, and passes away more quickly.
Marriage understands and forgives the mistakes life is unable to avoid.
It encourages and nurtures new life, new experiences, new ways of expressing a love that is deeper than life.
When two people pledge their love and care for each other in marriage,
they create a spirit unique unto themselves, which binds them closer
than any spoken or written words.
Marriage is a promise, a potential made in the hearts of two people who love each other,
and takes a lifetime to fulfill."
I found the above marriage definition a while back, Everything it says about marriage is exactly true, and when I got married, I lacked something that governs this passage -- a little something called faith. Faith was always a gamble for me, especially considering my whole life revolved around control and planning in order to avoid getting hurt. The concept of marriage and merging with another human being is none of those things. And, yet, it's something I have always wanted. I wanted to let go and I feel like I am almost there because of my husband. Ray, has made it safe for me to put up the white flag and accept that life cannot always be controlled, Sometimes, you just have to have a little faith, not only in yourself, but in the universe as a whole.
Grandma Kali sent matching Halloween outfits!
So, I found one of Presley's fairy outfits from last year, and with a few rubber bands and a safety pin, Carsyn became a fairy princess just like her big sister. She was ecstatic! 
They did a full on photo shoot for me.
I am like their own personal paparazzi.
Love this one!
Princess Carsyn
Daddy helping Carsyn get ready
Fly away little one
That night Carsyn had to be a "tiger" because she wouldn't fit in the stroller with her wings. Everyone complemented Presley on her "adorable little brother" and she just laughed. 
She couldn't get enough of this pumpkin!
Admiring our work (and by "our", I mean Daddy's work.)
Little Carsyn was fascinated by the candle inside!
She brought it trick-or-treating with us too.
The stash! (Notice Mommy picked Kit-Kats, Peanut Butter Cups, and Twix.)
Presley with Daddy, or she calls him, "The Prince Of All The Fairies." He was...ummm.....honored?!
Mommy, Pres and Carsyn trick-or=treating
Ummm yea.....so we thought this cat was a stray. Presley and I buy her cat food at the store and she hangs out by our house. Apparently she is either 1) Not stray or 2) Pretty clever and talented in order to dress herself up.
The end of the night. We had so much fun! 
Cheese!
Presley's creations
MMMMM!
Our finished products 
We even let Carsyn give it a try
She really did try too!
Here is her slobber ghost.
And not surprisingly, the kids had just as much- 
They seriously played in there for over an hour
It's still in our front room, three days later too :)
