Guys and gals, let me just tell you how awesome being married is. In this post, I'll touch on a few things I have found are AWESOME about life. Period! You don't have to be married to do these things! It just helps to have your best friend by your side.
This post isn't supposed to be braggy, but hopefully it will be helpful! I've found that my husband and I have an awesome friendship and have a lot of fun, so I wanted to share some of our fun!
I'll try not to be too mushy,
but this is about a man better than the man of my dreams,
so beware!
1. Play GAMES! Whether it's Uno, Guess Who?, Backgammon, or ERS, play, play play! Whenever we're tired and want to wind down for the night, we'll play a quick game to end the day. We're both pretty competitive, but reasonably so! We never ever fight over games. Thankfully, we're pretty even when it comes to our skillz with the board games ;)
2. Try new things! Use Groupon (and their awesome app!) coupons! We found the most delicious Mexican restaurant last week! There was a Groupon deal that was $10 for $20! It was called Agave. Here's their Facebook page. Thomas got a combination plate and I got the vegetarian fajitas. They were the bomb dot com, folks!
3. Be adventurous! You can do lots of fun outdoor activities! Take a walk and get lost, go pool hopping, or even ding dong ditch some cookies! Do something out of the ordinary!
4. Travel to a city close by and visit all of the antique shops, parks, and restaurants! Research the area! Check out visitors centers for coupons and deals for zoos, farmer's markets, museums, etc.
5. Be silly. We love games, playing out side, playing games outside, flying kites, etc. Forget all of your worries and have fun. Being along friends or just play with each other! Summertime is so nice because you can get some fresh air and make new friends!
6. Go thrift shopping! My husband and I have a problem with hoarding board games. But when they're $2 and $3 for brand new games, how can we resist?
Here's what I'm talkin' about!
We pulled them all out the other night to sort through the ones we wanted to resell. As it turns out, we wanted to keep all but one! We'll keep these forever, so I'm happy :)
7. Race! Whenever we want to clean the house but want to go play at the same time, we'll race to see how fast we can clean the living room! I know it sounds so silly, but we played Chutes and Ladders the other day while cleaning. It was a hoot! My husband is so creative.
8. Play 20 questions, Would You Rather, Never Have I Ever, and Truth or Dare. These games are lots of fun in the car or on long road trips. You could dare each other to buy the food for the car behind you for lunch! Or do a happy dance at the gas station! The sky is the limit!
9. Write old friends, missionaries, your mama, or a stranger. Has anyone ever seen the YouTube video Validation? If not, watch it! You'll love the good feelings you get when you see those happy faces!
10. YouTube. I know this is a big one for our generation. Pull up your favorite videos and laugh til you tinkle! We love watching silly ones like these Japanese learning videos! You can watch them here and here! Hysterical.
11. Start a TV series together. We absolutely LOVED Sherlock (BBC version) and Pushing Daisies. Check them out!
12. Start a project! Together, we renovated our little house, created a picture holding frame, and framed pictures from our wedding!
Ain't he handsome?!
There you have it! Just a few of the things we love to do! We hope you have fun together!
