Just wanted to mention an awesome thing that happened yesterday with Atlantean.

Atlantean got really productive yesterday. When I left for work, he stayed home from work, and not only got the headlight fixed, but did the laundry, applied for graduation and set up his computer. He was incredible! And I'm telling you right now that it was incredible to see the man I had married truly come to life! He was so different! So confident and self-assured. He was attentive, intriguing and vibrant! I was shocked by the man I had married! And honestly so amazed to be his eternal partner! He confessed he was proud with himself with accomplishing so much. I was too! Just the night before he was down, and then the next morning he soared! I love him! and I know he will not continuously be this hard-working man (who is all the time??) but he seriously amazed me and I can't wait to see this side of him just blossom!

So him and I went to Marco's Pizza, took the pizza home. Atlantean seems to be keeping his job as the money keeper more seriously, and wrote down our bank account total on the whiteboard, and stated his goal with it. I totally agreed. After Marco's, I agreed to go to Game Haven, in fact, I was almost eager, and when we got there, we played demo games into the night! I myself was shocked! We picked up Trash Wars from Gangrene Productions, and tried multiple different kinds of Fluxx, like Batman Fluxx and Doctor Who Fluxx, and the thing is with Fluxx, with any kind of Fluxx,  you can't just play one game. Atlantean says that's like only having one potato chip. So we played game after game and just sincerely enjoyed each others company. We also discovered that the different kinds of Fluxx are played differently, and even though it's more of Atlantean's thing, I had a good time figuring out the differences and the strategies and even discussing them later. We had a really great impromptu date night and both enjoyed ourselves thoroughly! Atlantean was even hinting that he wanted to do something else, which has never happened in our marriage when it comes to card and board games. I was the one pushing him to keep playing!
Afterward we got ice cream and went home to watch a Lets Play! of a game we had seen and both been interested in.

I could not have married a better man,
