It amazes me that I can still learn new things about Luis after dating for 5 years and being married for 12. Tonight, I learned that he had never in his life played Yahtzee. Can you imagine living until your mid 30's and never once playing Yahtzee? That simply would not be possible in my family. My siblings and I played countless games throughout our childhood and teen years. I think we were still playing it in our young adult years.

Thanks to my dear sister gifting our family with Yahtzee for the holidays, Luis played for the first time tonight. We played the first game with the children and had a fabulous time. The girls were so into it. Isabella and I won. Luis was an instant Yahtzee fan, ready to start a second game with the kids even though we finished the first game at bedtime. After the kids were in bed, we played some more. I told him that I was a Yahtzee champ and would beat him easily. I was wrong. We played four games, and I did not win a one. Luis also achieved something that I have never seen in all of my years of Yahtzee playing.

He rolled three Yahtzees in a single game.

Three. I could not believe it. I called my sister after he rolled the second one, and then he went and rolled another. Unbelievable.

I am calling it beginner's luck. I will challenge him again tomorrow night and then we will see who the real Yahtzee champ is.

Would it shock you to know that I don't even know what kind of game Yahtzee is? I remember the commercials from when I was a kid, but can't even begin to tell you the point of the game.
