Rob has officially graduated from Georgia Tech with a 4.0. Yup he is pretty darn smart. :) In honor of his graduation, I bought him (us) a gift. For the past three years there has been quite a few sleepless nights, a lot of hard work (hello, 4.0!), long stretches of not seeing each other (even though we lived down the road from one another), and much support from me. I don't mean to toot my own horn, but I think his diet would have been non-existent had I not provided him means to eat. :)
So what did I buy? A Wii!!!!!! Rob has had this on his list of things his has wanted for a while and I have come to really like this system for it's games. Rob also wanted a game that we could play together and I think it's more likely to happen on the Wii than the Xbox. Gears of War isn't my speed. Besides, I am more the, "I have 30 minutes to play" kind of person. I don't want something I have to really track progress and story lines on.
We have purchased only a few games so far, but I think they have been good ones. Rayman's Raving Rabbids TV Party was among the first purchases. We played this at my co-workers house and had a blast playing it. It's silly and a great party game. Dumb bunnies! Our most rececnt purchase was Mariokart because that's a classic fun game. Other than that we have the Wii Sports and My Fitness Coach. I am sure we will get more games as we go along. We have more than plenty to keep ourselves entertained for now. :)

Game Night
Last night I was invited to a pot luck/game night at Sarah's house. We ate Mexican food, had some yummy margaritas, and played a game called Celebrity. It's one I have never played, but I think it may be a lot of fun if people wanted to play it at the beach.
Instructions for play - You round everyone up and give them three pieces of paper. Everyone writes down 3 famous people and tosses them into a hat (or similar object). Then you split into two teams by every other person. The first person starts by pulling names out of the hat and describes them any way they know how. They keep pulling names out of the hat until a minute is up. Then the next person goes and so on until you are out of names in the hat. Then the second round you put all the names back in and this time it's charades. You go around til the names are all used up and then put them all back into the hat for the third round. This time the person only gets one word to describe who it is. Since you have been through the first two rounds, you know what the names are so it's not as hard as it sounds. The only tricky part is when you get to a name you don't know. But thankfully, a minute goes by pretty fast. :)
I miss having pot lucks and game nights or movie nights in. I guess a lot more people just want to go out these days. It's fun every now and then, but when I am trying to save for the wedding and I have plenty of school work, it's not always possible. Oh well. :) It's fun when they come around!
