Today we’re headed out to a tree farm in the Ohio countryside to cut down a Christmas tree – and hopefully come home with a fresh wreath too! We accumulated some snow overnight and the flurries are still falling – it’s a winter wonderland out there! I hope it sticks long enough for us to search for our tree in it! Add in some hot cocoa and Christmas music and we’re well on our way to a wonderful day! While we find our perfect tree, we’ll entertain you with this…
Newlywed Survey
1. Our favorite thing to do for fun is: Spend time together at home – watching movies, playing Wii or board games, eating dinner and just relaxing. We also like exploring new restaurants and things to do in Cincy. Bowling and a fire in our fit pit are fun too, though we haven’t had the time to go bowling yet.
2. The best decision we ever made was to: Go out for a drink one night after work. That’s how we got started :-)
3. On a Friday night, we can be found: Catching dinner at new restaurant in Cincy and a show at CCM.
4. The best part of our wedding was: Getting married of course :-) And Door County! The bonfire, live swing band, and pumpkin “ring bearer” come in close third though.
5. What is your spouses’ favorite food? Ribs. He could live on ribs and tacos.
6. The worst thing about living in Ohio is: Well, we’ve only lived here a month, but I think we’d both say the weather but for different reasons. For me because it’s too cold and for him because it’s not cold enough!
7. The best thing we’ve done this year is: It’s kind of hard to compete with a fabulous wedding! So, I’d say getting married and starting our married life together with a fresh start in a new state.
8. The worst thing that happened this year was: Dealing with a long distance engagement, wedding planning (it’s so rewarding, but a huge pain in the ass sometimes, especially when you do it all DIY), and facing periods of uncertainty with employment and where we’d end up living.
9. An ideal date night would include: It kind of depends on the season – there’s ice skating at Eden Park in the winter, outdoorsy stuff in the spring, drive-in movies, ice cream and mini-golf in the summer, and nice indoor activities like science museums, movies, football, or bowling in the fall. But for a relaxing evening out you can’t go wrong with some shopping, trying a new restaurant, a trip to the movies, or exploring a new part of town.
10. Our dream vacation is: the Honeymoon we have yet to go on! We’d like to go to Alaska, Iceland, Sweden and Finland so we can do the Blue Lagoon, Ice Hotel, see the northern lights, go glacier climbing, husky racing, snowshoeing, and see all the cool cobblestone-street towns, palaces and cathedrals. We’d also love to return to Door County every year for a weekend to celebrate our anniversary. And Door County has so much to offer! Though right now I don’t think either of us would mind a mini-vacay to Cedar Point or King’s Island roller coaster theme parks!
