Day 111: Going to the Apple

Walking in to the Apple Store, I’m immediately transported in to a futuristic world where everyone is cool (you can tell by their glasses) and you can buy an iPhone by swiping your credit card through another iPhone. It’s always full yet you can still manage to find an open Mac Book to play with. I love Apple products so its not unheard of for me to go to the store just for fun. However today the hubs and I went for a very specific purpose, the details of which I cannot share just yet. But I can say, I did walk out with a medium sized box in my arms. Very fun.

Day 110: Showtunes

Sometimes, after hanging out all night, my friends and I sing showtunes. People may dance. And sing. And use scarves as props. It’s silly and weird and fun. And I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Day 109: Romantic Getaway

April 7th, 2013 marks the hubs and my first married anniversary. Since we did a destination wedding, we did not take much of a honeymoon (just stayed a few days longer in Mexico). To make up for that, we are now planning a European Anniversary Getaway!

I spent much of my day looking for hotels on Trip Advisor and Home Away. We are thinking of staying in a hotel in London and an apartment in Paris. I’ve been to both cities many years ago but the hubs has not been to either. I’m excited to go again, show him around and use some of my French language skills.

Looking for hotels can be headache producing but I enjoyed refamiliarizing myself with the city maps, imagining where we’d go and what we’d do. We have yet to book anything but I think I made headway in my research today. Though if anyone has any hotel or apartment recommendations in either city, message me!

Day 108: A Little Socializing

Like the old married couple that we are, the hubs and I rarely go out on a weeknight. If we do, it’s for dinner, never for an after 8pm hang out. But tonight when we got a text at 8:30pm requesting our presence at a near by watering hole, we both responded with gusto! We left our house in the pouring rain and walked a block to the bar for about an hour of relaxed conversation before heading home again.

It was delightful to go out and socialize for just a little bit. And it’s something we never would have even considered doing back when I was not well. It’s small things like this that remind me to appreciate and take advantage of my health now and every day.

Day 107: The Family that Plays Together

When I go home to Iowa, I always enforce family game nights. Some people drag their feet, but I know my family has fun and bonds over games. Well, now that my dad has a smart phone (finally), all of us can continue to play games even though we aren’t physically together.

Tonight I started Words With Friends games with my dad, mom, sister, brother-in-law, and, of course, the hubs. After an extended break from app games, I decided to return just to Words With Friends and not get sucked in to all the other “With Friends” games like I was previously. (Seriously, I had a problem). It is a small fun thing I can do each day to connect even more with family.

Also, I should give credit where credit is due; this fun thing was my sister’s idea.
