It has been eight years, "is that all", is Scott's response. We really only knew each other for a year before our marriage and we weren't even dating that whole time (much to my dismay), but Scott and I seem to be a perfect match. We have a lot of fun together and I can think of only three or four notable disagreements in our marriage. Two involved acquiring things I did not want (a snake which we had for three months and a school bus to move us from Utah to Pennsylvania, which was bid for on ebay but not purchased). I thought we would never again play Monopoly together after a very emotional game the first Christmas we were married (you have to trade properties at some point of the game or it is completely pointless!) However, our son Sam is really into money right now and loves Monopoly. Scott and I gave it a go with Sam as a chaperone. Sam did have to tell us to stop talking and just play the game. I bankrupted Scott and he sold all of his property to Sam for $1. I'm sure that was illegal, but I didn't mind because Sam won the game and I'm always happy when my children win. Scott has not played monopoly with us since.
Scott told me once in our marriage that I didn't need to tell him I loved him all the time, I should just tell him when I don't love him anymore, so Scotty too hotty, I have nothing to say.
Congrats on 8 years together. A fun read, and a great photo!
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary! I thought about you guys (and Ang & Kris) on Saturday while we were at MaggieMae's birthday party. Funny about Monopoly! What is it about that game? Kevin & I played about 4 months after we were married & I didn't speak to him for like 2 days. We haven't played it since (12 years)...
ReplyDelete"Sam is really into money right now..."
ReplyDeleteHa! Congrats guys! And maybe we will see you soon. Cross your fingers!
Happy Anniversary. Board games seem to be the downfall of many a young married couple. For my sister and her hubby it was Scrabble . . . they have been married almost 20 years, and I still don't think they have played it together since their honeymoon. Advice to all newlyweds . . . avoid board games at all costs!
ReplyDeleteI don't usually comment, but I actually laughed out loud at your monopoly story--I was there for the big game so many years ago and have to say I am so glad you both have a good sense of humor--there are stupid things Dave and I have fought about that I still can't talk to him about, so I guess I'll have to work on being more like you.
