If you want to ...Ok I'm going to say something. If you want to do those things then do them. But if you're only doing them because you want to fufill an idea of what you think life SHOULD be then let go of the guilt and be happy with the routine things that you do daily. I don't mean "enjoy washing dishes!" ha, no. I just mean, if is all you do is watch movies and make treats, or yummy dinners, that's ok! Sometimes my friend Amy (my old neighbor) she and her husband would do so many adventures, EVERY WEEKEND, and I always felt so bad about me and Mike, who also, "just watch movies" etc. But then I realized- I don't like to hike! I don't like getting up early. I am not IN LOVE with camping. Sure, I'm fine with a camp trip once a year, as well as a hike, but- I don't need to do it every week like them because I don't love it as much as they do. They LOVE camping- they spent their thanksgiving camping! How crazy is that?!!! So my ONLY advice is- do these things because you truly want to do those things, not because you're "supposed to". I think your list sounds great! I think if you did even ONE exciting or different thing ONCE a month- that would be enough to satisfy your feelings. The month goes by SO FAST. So - why don't you pick one thing for once a month, and then before you know it- the year is over, and you did 12 really fun things! 12 memories is ALOT! Ok now let me think of something fun..... fondue is fun. go to a lake and BQ, (notice how all mine have to do with food? ha) Mike and I each painted a canvas once, side by side in our family room. It was our main art for many years. You could read a chapter from a book each night together. Sorry I don't have alot of ideas as we are also considered a "boring couple". ha. love you- Oh- and mike never feels like doing anything out of the ordinary either. I think it's harder for men to want to go anywhere because they are gone ALL DAY at work, so when it's over they just want to be at home and rest. I'm trying to remind myself that as I also try to get MIke out of the house and he doesn't want to.AMY AND MIKEYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14506098535542997582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4733054970037956253.post-59238852216054079242011-07-03T17:52:03.311-07:002011-07-03T17:52:03.311-07:00LOVE THAT LIST!
