one of the things i love about being married is how it expands your horizons.

take, for instance, the following piece of equipment:



all my life, i'd been taught that this was a time waster and a money suck and comparable to the lottery when it came to the possibility of actually winning.

then, on our last vacation, mike and i found one of these and tried it (something i would never have done without him!) and WE WON. not only that, we went on to win at 6 more of these across the country (one time on our first try!!).

see how marriage works? mike gets a wonderful crazy guatemalan family and i get a bear from a claw machine.

i think it's a fair trade.
