Angel and I celebrated our anniversary this weekend. As the doctor is expecting her to deliver sometime next week we didn't do anything outrageous or extravagant. We went to dinner and enjoy a quite movie night without the kids. Well, without the kids who are not waiting to be born at least (Thanks, Mom!).
When it comes to entertainment, we're pretty easy. As poor college students we would often just go window shop. It gave us an opportunity to talk about what kinds of things we liked or would like to have if we were rich and infamous. Yes, I used the right word there - infamous - the famous crowd is rather annoying with a few exceptions. One time, for date night, we happened to find a gift card to Bed, Bath, and Beyond from our wedding and figured it had $20. We decided to go check it out how much it had and have some fun trying to find something for that price. It turned out there was $75 on it. We bought some knives, a storage ottoman footrest, and a really awesome knife block. We still use all three. We still enjoy just walking through shores, particularly small, unique stops that you get on main street in small towns.
We also enjoy watching movies. I remember all through high school and college it wasn't suggested that you go on dates to movies because it does not provide an opportunity to get to know the other person. I agree that you can't get to know somebody much during a movie. You might learn if they are the annoying kind of movie goer but other than that... One thing that movies does give you is a something to talk about after it's over. Angel and I do enjoy watching movies and shows and then discussing them. It's led to many discussions on many topics. We watched Thor: The Dark World this weekend and enjoyed it.
Our other favorite entertainment together is playing games. It rarely matters if the game is a video game, board game, or card game we enjoy them all. I think it's awesome that my wife likes to pay computer games with me. For Christmas this last year she told me to pick out a game or two on Steam, the online game support and store, and I bought one I already had and then set up a steam account for her so we could play it together. On our fifth anniversary we found and bought a table top game called Forbidden Island which is still one of our favorites. And all through college we would take breaks from studying to pay good old fashion War with a deck of cards. We still play it on occasion.
While this anniversary was pretty low key we are planning on doing something a little more exciting for our tenth. We both would like to take a cruise but it's still fluid. We'll see how it plays out.
