DS Lite

Let me first preface by saying that Jason and I weren't going to mention that we bought each other presents for Christmas/Hanukkah since money was slim this year and very few people got gifts from us, but we did end up getting each other something small. Our 4 year anniversary is coming up in a couple days as well and we aren't probably doing anything, but going out for a cheap dinner.

Anyways, we got each other gifts- I got him this painting he's had his eye on at the Renaissance Festival for years and he got me a used Nintendo DS Lite. It's a portable gaming device that I absolutely love. He bought me the red one, since he knows that's one of my favorite colors. We played it together throughout our travels the past week and it was a blast. We got this game called Scribblenauts that's so much fun. You are tasked to solve these puzzles and actions and you type in any object and it will just appear. It's hard to explain, but very interesting and a blast to play.

Anyways I love my gift babe, oh and I love the ring you gave me even more. It's hard to keep my eyes off its sparkle as I play my games.

Board Game Blast

I love playing board games, even more since Jason's entered my life. I've always loved the more party atmosphere games like Pictionary, Scattergories, Taboo, and my new fav Apples to Apples. I now also like the more thinking games with real strategy behind them, games like Tara and Carcassonne. Jason and I are now in the habit of buying a new strategy game every year we go to the Renaissance Fair at their game tent. It's fun cause you can try out all the games while there and the attendants will teach you the games. We've always hoped to find friends who also enjoy strategy games, so we can finally play with more than two players. Game night will happen or at least that's what we keep telling ourselves. I also love the games I grew up with, such as Clue and Life. Those were great and probably still are, that's the great thing about games- they stay fun throughout the ages.
