Happy early heart day...

We just got back from a Valentine dinner at our church. What a blast. We had a great meal and then played the Crosslight version of the Newlywed Game. There were four couples...two true newlyweds (5 months and just under 2 years) and two non-newlyweds (5 years and 18 years).

First the women had to leave the room and the guys had to answer 4 questions, here are a couple of them:

• How many pairs of shoes does your wife have? (one of the men asked, "Do flip flops count?")
• What flower does your wife most resemble when she first wakes up in the morning? (Answer choices were a) sunflower; b) bird of paradise or c) snap dragon.) Can you believe that all the men answered sunflower?

Then the men had to leave the room and the women had to answer 3 regular questions and the 25 point bonus question. Here are a few:

• What one thing that belongs to your husband would you like to throw away the first chance you get?
• If your husband were driving in strange city and got lost, what would he do? (Answer choices were a) pretend not to be lost; b) stop and ask for directions; c) stop and buy a map; d) find a way to blame it on you.)
• The bonus question: How much money does your husband have on him right now?

Believe it or not, Maryanne and Josh (married 18 years) had only 5 points before the bonus question. However, they were the only ones to answer the bonus question correctly and won the game! Just goes to show you that you can never give up.

Anyway, it was a fun night and now I'm ready for bed! Good night all.
