Couple Bonding via Shooting Aliens

I had a more activity-packed weekend in mind on Friday, but by Sunday...activity packed morphed into sitting on the couch killing aliens. Now, I never played video games until about a year ago. I always thought they were a silly waste of time. But Sam sweetly asked me to play Halo with him and Sam has this way of making his green eyes sparkle and look puppy dog-pitiful to the point that I'm thinking I'm getting glamored by a vampire. So I started occasionally playing with him here and there. Ever since his hip-replacement surgery last month, he's been playing video games more often.When you are home-bound for more than a month, there are only so many reruns of Swamp People you can watch. I've been playing with him when I've come home from work and now I'm addicted. This weekend, we played the entire Halo 2 game start to finish. It is the best couple-bonding thing ever! We work together, we strategize that Sam will take out the snipers, while I go to the left to take out that big-ass alien. After I get killed, Sam will go after the murdering culprit for revenge. It's awesome! In a month, when Sam is approved for more outdoor activities, like hiking and riding a bike, and the smothering heat gets replaced by autumn, I promise we'll go back to more physical activities. Until then, watch out aliens!
