Halloween is finally here!! I'm so happy! Well, I mean I'm not super excited because they don't really celebrate the holiday here in Korea. But we're just going to dress Skylar up, take some pictures, then go to Vernon's parent's house.

We decided to dress Sky up as Minnie Mouse. I think it looks cute. "You look so cute princess." Vernon says as he squishes her cheeks.

I pull out my phone and start taking pictures of them. These are the moments that I cherish the most. "Babe, are you almost done making that soup?" Vernon questions me, looking at his watch. "It's almost time to go."

"Oh yeah, let me go check on it. It should be done though." I walk over to the soup and check on it. It looks about done. I just have to pack the necessary things that go with it.

"Alright it's done, I'm ready." I call Vernon over so he can grab the food. I'll take sky down to the car.

We get to his parent's house in no time. Vernon takes down the soup while I grab Skylar.

"Hi, Happy Halloween!!" I hug his mom, then, his dad, and then Sofia. His mom takes Sky out of my arms and begins playing with her.

After a while of greeting each other and just having a normal conversation we decide to eat.

"Mmm, what is this Kylie?" His mom asks taking in a spoonful of soup into her mouth. "It's called menudo." I smile.

"My grandma taught me how to make it some time ago. I'm glad you like it." Everyone at the table eats quickly. This is probably one of the first times they've had an actual Mexican dish.

"For Christmas I'll make tamales, those are so good." I offer. Also I just really want some. She agrees with my idea.

"When's the last time you've seen your parents?" Sofia asks, her eyes big, waiting for an answer.

"Um, it's been a while. A few months. Why do you ask?" "I was just curious."

After the meal we carve pumpkins. Vernon sits next to me at the table. He grabs a book from the middle if the table and picks out the design he's going to carve.

"I've never really done this before. You're going to have to show me what to do." I smile. "Okay, I'll be your teacher."

A few minutes in, and he's already complaining. "Kylie this is so dirty, and hard. Why do you like doing this?"

"Vernon, it's fun. Look you're almost done!" He has one eye carved out. At this point Sky starts crying so he takes this as his opportunity to leave the table. Ugh.

"I'll finish it for you." I guess. "Thanks babe." He kisses my cheek then goes. I don't mind doing this. Ohh I can make pumpkin seeds when we get home.

I finish his pumpkin and I'd say it looks pretty decent.

Skylar starts to fall asleep so we decide to go home. When she gets old enough I would like to take her to New York to go trick or treating.

"Are you alright?" Vernon asks taking hold of my hand. "I'm fine. " I try to smile.

Sophia's question has been stuck in my head all night. But it's lead me to think of other things. I really miss home.

"Are you sure?" He pushes the subject. "Okay, I'm gonna be honest, I'm a bit homesick." I frown and lean my head into his chest. He holds me tight and tells me he's sorry.

"It's not your fault." I whisper. "Okay how about we go to New York for about a week?"

My heart thumps loudly, and my stomach turns. "Are you being serious right now?"

"Yeah, why not? Even if it's just for a few days. How about we leave tomorrow? I'll ask if my parents can look after Sky, and I'll call management to see if I can get a few more days off." Vernon starts to get of bed and get on his phone.

I can't believe this, I'm going to go home. It might be a few days only but that's totally okay. I need to pack Skylar's things too.

I go to bed later that night with Vernon's arms wrapped around me. He smells like peppermint.

I just can't sleep though, I'm too excited. Ohh I kind of feel bad about abandoning the girls though. They're going to be in Korea till December though I think. So they shouldn't mind. I'll let them stay here while we're gone.

I suddenly feel something poking my butt. What in the hell. Oh. Oh my gosh. Am I moving around too much!? Vernon nooo! I want to laugh but if I do I know I'll wake him.

I can't believe he has a boner right now. I move my head to where I can see him, to make sure that he's actually asleep. Sure enough he's softly snoring but he's smiling. Oh god.

Alright let me just try to ignore this.

Morning comes faster than I thought. I wake up stretch out my arms and almost panic when I don't feel Vernon next to me. He comes through the door, already dressed up holding two tickets in his hand.

"I went to the airport this morning to buy some round trip tickets. I dropped off Sky at my mom's, and I went and bought you some breakfast. The plane leaves in two hours, so hurry and eat so we can go."

I'm in awe. I can't believe. He's such a perfect guy. My fiancé. Ugh I love him so much.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" He laughs. I get out of bed and basically attack him with kisses.

My legs are wrapped around his back, I'm clinging onto him like a baby. Vernon carries me to the kitchen and sets me down in a chair.

"Thank you" I begin to eat my food. He kisses my forehead. "I love you, you know I'd do anything for you, right?

"I love you too, Vernon"
