I got married right before I turned 26 and still knew I wasn't ready. Our first year or so was pretty rocky because I was still in work-golf-drink beer mode and she was ready to be a family. Edit: We just celebrated 20 years, so it's worked out.

My wife and I watched the Dungeons and Dragons movie last week and really enjoyed it. It was fun and refreshing. Definitely recommend it.

Had to go to a last-minute conference in Orlando this week. The team wanted to do some heavy drinking on the last day. Unfortunately, I had something much more urgent to do...

Good for you man...this day and age stacking two decades is a real accomplishment. The value many don't see is that have been in a stable relationship allows for household value to grow and mature...I bet you guys are pretty well off financially as well. We got together at age 26 and we are a good decade ahead (in terms of finance) of our friends who got married much later. The risk is ofcourse being with the wrong person...looks like you chose the right mate ...but maybe a bit early...I think the single most important thing in staying together is having the same life goals...no matter how hard it gets...if both sides feel like their goals are being met than it's "worth it"...but again that's a big gamble when people, values, and goals can change. waiting a bit and letting individuals grow and stabilize before committing to the long term is a "safer" bet.

It seems The LEGO Group is well versed in the art of brick-teasing. 🤣

The set only lasted 1 day into the 2 week extension? 2X VIP is true.

Finally got to “finish” this set 3 months later. I still have to do the rest of the Minifigures, weapons and stickers plus tune up some alignment of elements. I new something was off when I built the first section and broke it down partially and rebuilt it but it does not align securely so will have to look into that some more. Also those steeple elements are torqued and don’t align properly. The end of the build was by far the least enjoyable, the trees and the council chairs were way worse than the roof tiles. I think the chairs could have had a more simple build and looked better. I was only missing one piece a sand green plate used on the roof but I borrowed one from a tree and it is not noticeable until the replacement comes in. Overall a great build with some new advanced techniques, awesome elements, and great color scheme. The light aqua cupcakes with the new white plant stem and white dinosaur tails look amazing, Gimli’s Helmet printing! The absolute lowest rating I can go would be 8.5 out of 10 but for me 9.5 and a top 10 build and Display set for sure.
