Leanne got us a Couples Adventure Challenge book for Christmas that has fun challenges for couples to do that we would otherwise never do. Our first challenge? Go to a thrift store, spend no more than $15 for each of us to pick out an outfit of our choosing for each other (minimum 3 articles of clothing), then give each other a new name for the rest of the day. That wouldn’t be so bad if not for the next part, which was to go to a public place in our new outfits!!!

Our next stop was Scandia Family Fun Center near our house, which has mini-golf, laser tag, and an arcade. And because of the challenge, we had to go in our new outfits with our new names!

Of course the place is packed! At first we were both really self conscious and I didn’t want to even get out of the car! We pushed ourselves through though and only got positive remarks! I can’t tell if this is due to the general kindness and good of humanity or it’s just generally accepted that you can wear whatever you want to in California. As time went on, we got more comfortable, then we stopped noticing or caring and so did everyone else. Overall I think it was a really great challenge that taught me a lot about myself, and I’ll never forget the beautiful day I had with my lovely wife Boomqueefa.
