What do you and your FI/DH do for fun together?
We love LOVE watching basketball together. He says it's not fun when my team is playing though; he says I cheer, scream, curse, couch-coach and clap way too loud haha. But we watch any team that happens to be on (NBA).
We also like watching Mike & Molly together, it's just one of those shows that we BOTH enjoy, as our tv picks are so different. Usually his shows bore me to death, and he plays on the computer during my shows because he has no interest in them.
Re: In your "down" time...
Me with the girls
Last year we hit Manhattan, the Poconos and Oxford, CT.
This year, because of the wedding we aren't doing anything really special; we just really want to go somewhere pretty local. We're checking out Letchworth State Park...
We're big travellers
[QUOTE]In our down time we explore. We try to find some local and not so local places that interest us and make plans to go. In one year we hit Alexandria Bay, Boston, Narangansett and Philadelphia. Last year we hit Manhattan, the Poconos and Oxford, CT. This year, because of the wedding we aren't doing anything really special; we just really want to go somewhere pretty local. We're checking out Letchworth State Park... <strong>We're big travellers :)</strong>

Us too! Last year was Los Angeles, the Grand Canyon and Las Vegas. This year is Bermuda (honeymoon) and Montreal late summer/early fall. I've been begging J to go ever since I moved to NY. The world is so vast and expansive, I don't know how people can <em>not</em> want to take it all in :)
[QUOTE]It's a long story lol, but basically my grandfather always had an outdoor lab when I was growing up. He was the only one in my family who had a dog. So I begged my parents for a dog for years and years until I could get one. I got a little poodle mix and created a backyard agility course so I could train him to jump and run through tunnels like they did on the agility matches on TV. My mom never let me take classes though so I waited till I was about to graduate from college before I could get a dog just for agility and train her in actual classes. Her breeder really wanted me to show her in the traditional shows that judge against breed standard so I was like "why not." She became a champion in one weekend and I was hooked. I wanted to do other things so I took her to obedience and weight pull events, and agility classes and fun matches (which are my FAVORITE). When my FI moved in I got another puppy though he didn't think that was a good idea (the black one). Once she was home he fell in love though. Then last year we got the chocolate one. Shows are extremely addicting lol. Luckily we can't add more dogs in our little house so the addiction is under control...somewhat.

Sounds like you have a passion for this! I'm glad; everyone should be so lucky in having something they absolutely LOVE to do, and better yet, to get their other half to take up that same interest lol.
