Happy AnniversarWii

So Michelle and I celebrated our 6th Anniversary this last week. The crazy thing is that it doesn't seem more than 5 years and 9 1/2 months!

We decided that this year we would try and get a Wii for our anniversary. Since you can't exactly go to a store and get a Wii, we decided that over the next few months we would just keep our eyes open and look for some good deals. We were a little egged on by Byron and Elizabeth who just got one and brought it over to our place a week ago when we had a get together with all the family and had a great time. They exhorted us with all diligence to seek out a Wii. We also have played with the Baum's a couple times -- they have the steering wheel for the mario kart, which was a lot of fun.

Well, Michelle being the deal seeker she is, kept an eye on ksl. On Tuesday morning when she looked, a guy had just barely posted a pretty loaded one. He hardly used it and so wanted to get some cash on it. We figured it was a good deal and a couple hours later had a Wii.

I got a little emotional, when I considered replacing our old friend the Super NES. It had been a nice reliable addition to our family. There were many a nights when our marriage nearly ended because of Dr. Mario; Michelle never did attemp to play me in College Football; and we had 10 categories memorized on the jeopardy game -- I think we won the computer once. We'll have to figure out how to download Dr. Mario and College Football onto the Wii. We already have street fighter and a couple others that the guy downloaded so I'm sure we can find those too.

Why is it that everytime we set up something new, I can't get the TV to turn on?!! Anyone know an engineer that could help me out? After a number of near curses (or did Michelle hear me?) we were in business...
Finally wired and ready to go. We even figured out how to turn on everything else as well. I have to say "we" because I was so ticked at the setup that I took a break for dinner. After the steam had settled, Michelle and I together walked through each component making sure all the cables were intact. Sure enough, while moving the TV around, I had popped out one cable that made the satellite not work.
We haven't got a whole lot of sleep this past week, but I did bowl a 173, beat Izod (where do they come up with those names) in tennis, played Zelda for like 9 straight hours one day, and saved one super star on mario universe or whatever it's called. Michelle won't box me yet, but she did kick my trash in bowling. What a great Anniversary. It has been so nice, I think we should celebrate again in a couple months!
