Happy belated Thanksgiving everyone! Hope yours was filled with lots of turkey and gravy! Boyfriend and I decided not to travel and instead spend the lovely 4 blissful days of vacation in the (not-so-new-anymore) house! I cooked my very first Thanksgiving dinner, which in my opinion was fantastic, and had a quiet, lovely, relaxing break. It was great to take the time to actually be together instead of constantly busy with regular everyday life. 

Recently, Boyfriend and I have had some pretty intense conversations about how we have become boring and we don’t like it. Currently as young/mid twenty somethings, we are stuck in a very odd place. We aren’t old enough for the family and the kids, but we aren’t young enough for the college bar scene. We own a house and are a stable couple with full time jobs. When you work for 9 hours and get home, you have about enough time to take care of a peeing dog, feed yourself, and maybe catch something on TV before passing out. It’s tough to find interesting things to do that you both enjoy and fun enough that you are actually motivated to do them after a long work day. 

So this break we went out on a couple dates. It was great. We had great conversation and a lot of fun people watching. We went to an upscale martini bar and then to see the new James Bond movie. Another night we went out in our new town to a local bar where there was some country band playing and crazy tapered jeans wearing locals that lifted up their shirts showing off their tramp stamps- for reasons that are really beyond me, but I can only guess was to hopefully score a chance at going home with one of the hillbilly band members. Then we did some stuff on our own as well. I painted another hallway, and did some Christmas shopping for him and he worked on the motorcycle and went running. 

So I know you’re all probably riveted by my extremely interesting holiday and all but there is a point to my babbling. When you’re feeling like you’re stuck in a rut and you need some excitement- what do you do? Where do you go? What kinds of activities do you do with your significant others other than your everyday routines? Groups, clubs, sports? We need some extra suggestions here!
