This evening we played our first game of Monopoly as a married couple. We have a beautiful set received as a wedding gift from Rebekah Pringle. (Thanks!) The last time Amy and I played Monopoly was at Jon and Ashleigh Sutter’s house. One of us might have taken the game a little too seriously — at least that’s what the other thought.
So tonight we began around 9:30 and played till 11:45. I won’t bore you with the details. Suffice it to say, it’s a good thing that I’m in charge of the budget in real life, too. One of us ended up with almost all his or her properties mortgaged and $335 in debt to the bank. (He or she was married to the banker, 
who floated an extra loan — which started as theft but was graciously legitimized.)
If I weren’t being tickled right now, I’d write more. But I think it’s time to retire for the evening.
Nice!!!! it looks Fun! do you remember when we played and you had a death valley and we played from 10-2?

Brought a smile to me eyes and a tear to my lips. Sorry for the mixed metaphore, but . .

I love it! I could “hear” Josh saying all of that exactly as it is written. I got a good laugh out of it. Wish you were here to tell us about your Monopoly game in person, but we’ll settle for the virtual version 🙂 May you have many more marvelous Monopoly moments in your years of matrimonial bliss!
You’re welcome. Waiting for the post that announces the defeat of one by the other in Dutch Blitz. It will happen, right Wave?
