Wii!

Duane and I celebrated our 2-year anniversary Tuesday. It snuck up on both of us, because i didn't realize April 22nd was Tuesday until I heard that Monday was April 21st! I don't know if that makes sense, but you catch my drift.


In honor of our special day, we decided to go to dinner. After that, I wanted to walk around Best Buy, because Duane has fallen in love with the Wii gaming system ever since his brother got one. I can't say I blame him -- if you have never played Wii, it is highly addictive. Plus the cost is minimal compared to competitors like Playstation 3 and XBox 360. So I figured we would look around, because Wii's are quite popular, and thus extremely hard to get ahold of.
Almost like a sign from above, Best Buy had 1 Wii in stock.
I have been trying to save money for baby stuff, because everyone keeps telling me how shocked I will be at the cost of having a baby. Even though we plan to breastfeed, I hear diapers aren't cheap! But Duane's birthday is Monday, and we both have worked very hard these last few months (hence, the minimal posting to the blog), so I decided we deserved a little splurge.
I cannot describe to you how many of my muscles are aching right now! What a workout!! If you have never played Wii, I really recommend you try it sometime. It isn't your typical gaming system, so it entertains just about everyone in the family. My mom and dad are even thinking about getting one!!
Plus, it is something that Duane and I enjoy doing together, and it gets me off my lazy butt so I can actually get some exercise in these last 8 weeks of pregnancy. Maybe it will help get me back in shape once our little Rachel arrives! I could be the Wii spokesperson, like Jared is with Subway. Hmmmm...
