Rejoice with me...

Those who know Megan and myself know that we are quite into the board game scene. We spend a good amount of evenings battling wills in anything from uno to scrabble to racko. There has always been a bit of a problem, however, with our game preferences. Sure, I like card games and the like, but really get revved up about group and strategy games. Playing game with just us two elimantes group games and leaves, yup that's right, the strategy games. The only problem, Megan does not share my same fondness.

That is...until last week. I've tried to bridge this gap. Not much success, however. Monopoly, Settlers of Catan, and Risk are all on Megan's "No" list. (Which stinks because all three are in my top 5 list.) Last week we had our friend Justin Reed over for supper before he left for Germany for a few days. He brought with him a game called "Carcassonne". We had both seen the game played before, but never played ourselves. We gave it a whirl and to my surprise, Megan really likes it. It's not even that she can put up with it...she actually enjoys the game! What a joy! Now, it may help she won the first game, but I'll take it.

This kind of breakthrough deserves to have Handel's Messiah playing in the background. That's what it makes me feel like anyway...
