Last night Barry and I went to the gym for date night.
I know, the gym… how romantic, right?
But we actually have a lot of fun at the gym together. Usually it starts off with some stretching and/or machine workouts, then a game of basketball, and finally a dip in the pool.
We used to end the pool time with a hot tub soak, but now that I’m pregnant I’m not supposed to submerge myself in water that hot — there is a warm therapeutic pool that’s the next best thing, though… and we can do water yoga, stretches, small laps, or use the water weights for an enjoyable workout.
And… having Barry pull me around the pool with a foam tube is a fun ride for me (and a great workout for him).
But last night, the most amazing part happened before we got in the pool!
See, Barry always wants to play HORSE on the basketball course — the game where one player takes a shot, and if they make it, the other player has to make the exact same shot or they get one letter in HORSE… and so on until one person misses 5 shots that the other person made, and spells the entire word HORSE.
Well, we tried it once before, a long time ago, and he slaughtered me… I was at HORSE before he even had H. After all, he played basketball all through high school and the navy, while I think the last time I played was maybe grade 7 or 8.
So I’ve been saying no, I don’t want to play it, for months… but last night I gave in.
And get this… I actually WON!
Yes, I was leading most of the game, and still only had HORS when he hit HORSE.
So it just goes to show… you never know what’s going to happen until you try it.
And sometimes life rewards action in the most surprising ways!
