Just after the new year Aaron and I decided to play Stratego (the game I gave him for Christmas.) It's a strategy game and he's very good at strategy. In fact so good that I hardly ever beat him when we play anything. Since this was both of our first time playing Stratego I knew that if I was ever going to beat him at it, I had to do it now...before he had a chance to master it. It was really fun...and I did beat him! I was so excited when I captured his flag. He's says I get giddy when I'm winning...and it's true. I have a hard time hiding my excitement! I even insisted on taking a picture of the game board because I didn't know if it would ever happen again. As you can see above I was red, and pretty much wiped him out!My good fortune continued last night when we played "Rook" with Aaron's brother Brad and wife Callen. Callen and I were both new to the game and were teamed up against the guys. The girls ended up stomping (is that nice to say?!) the guys! I guess you can say I'm on a roll (pun definitely intended, although neither game uses dice!)

Maren-
Can I tell you just how much I loved reading this post. I'm so glad to hear that the girls can rock those boys in the game world. It's about time someone humbled them. :) I only wish that I could have been there too to beat Jared along with my brothers. We sure miss you guys! Love, Angela
Forget about girls beating boys...I am impressed that ANYONE can beat Aaron! Having grown up with that man I know first hand how hard it is to even keep the game competitive for him...let alone beat him! Nicely done Maren.
By the way, this is Mark from his Modesto days. Tell Aaron hi for me.
