Greatest Invention

This is a very uneventful blog, but I just wanted to mention the most wonderful thing to affect me and Jordan's lives recently! Seeing how we already own an XBOX360, we decided that one gaming system was more than enough. However, we were at my parent's house a couple weekends ago watching the house for them and decided to check out my parent's new Wii. After playing for at least two hours (possibly more!) we were so surprised at how much we were sweating and panting, yet thoroughly enjoying ourselves. The reason that sweating and panting made us excited is because our gym memberships are expiring this year (not that we used them much anyway) and we decided that we got more excersise playing the Wii than we have at the gym in a long time. PLUS, we get to do it in the comfort of our own home! We don't even have to go anywhere. I also pointed out to Jordan that it was half the cost of a gym membership as well and that sold him. So we now own a Wii and can proudly say I have been using it just about everyday and my muscles are sore! A good kind of sore though....the kind that tell you that you've been off your butt and working out!! It's a good feeling to be getting back into shape again. My dad also just informed me that with certain games, you can actually play with other people using the internet. For example, my dad called to see if I wanted to play golf with him the other day. It was hilarious! We still don't own any of those games, but we are looking forward to it and having some fun with the family. Our next goal is to try and track down a Wii Fit. They have yoga and step excersises and all kinds of fun stuff on there that I can't wait to get my hands on! Unfortunately, they are sold out EVERYWHERE. But I am keeping a close look-out! I am just so happy that I don't feel like a slug anymore and can get a little bit of weight off by enjoying myself in my own living room. It's fabulous. Thank you Wii!!
