Halloween is all about the scares. A Haunted House is a perfect way to get your adrenaline pumping.

6. Have A Halloween Potluck.

Invite some friends over for a Halloween Themed dinner. There's no better way to spend a holiday then with friends and good food.

7. Have A Jack-O-Lantern Carving Contest.

Let out your creative and competitive side with a pumpkin carving contest. Nothing says Halloween like a Jack-O-Lantern.

Celebrating Autumn is a big part of Halloween. Take advantage of the colorful trees and cool air by going on a long hike!

9. Plan A Halloween Scavenger Hunt.

Get your friends together and create a list of Halloween themed tasks to complete.

Halloween encourages a certain sense of mischief. Channel this feeling and pull some funny pranks on your friends; a little toilet paper never hurt anybody.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
