Zumba used to be the thing that I most looked forward to in my day. Of late, my most favorite part of the day is bedtime because I get to read to Brian. I really enjoy reading to him before bed, and I’m glad that he enjoys having me read to him. My need to read to someone aloud is a need I didn’t even realize I had until Brian started letting me do it. He finds this funny because he didn’t realize that my need to read aloud was a need that needed fulfilling. I really look forward to crawling into bed at the end of the day and reading to him. It’s almost therapeutic.<\/p>\n

When we finished Ender’s Game<\/a>\"\" a few weeks ago, we were trying to decide what we should read next. Having watched The Hunger Games<\/a>\"\" and thoroughly enjoying it, we decided that we would read the series together. So that’s what we’re reading now.<\/p>\n

I can read pretty fast so I was thinking that I could probably finish it in one day. Even aloud, the chapters are only taking about 20 minutes. I’m only reading a chapter a night before Brian’s ready for bed. I’m guessing it will take us a while to finish the book; which is a bummer because I’m ready to read the next book already (possibly because I’ve already seen the movie and know what happens next). Oh, well.<\/p>\n

So what about you guys? Is there something (anything) that you and your partner enjoy doing together? Brian and I are probably pretty abnormal in that we enjoy doing everything together. We like to watch movies, play poker, and travel together. As a matter of fact, Brian absolutely hates traveling without me. Now we can add reading to this list. About the only thing he doesn’t like doing with me is Zumba. So what about you? What’s on your list?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[1382,1690],"tags":[186,1730,1728,1729],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/brubakers.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7479"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/brubakers.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/brubakers.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brubakers.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brubakers.us\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=7479"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/brubakers.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7479\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7484,"href":"https:\/\/brubakers.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7479\/revisions\/7484"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/brubakers.us\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=7479"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brubakers.us\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=7479"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brubakers.us\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=7479"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
