settlers

Let's rewind time, shall we? Back to when hope was high. After Christmas a group of friends gathered in a familiar living room to play a game for nostalgia's sake. We put on a record, placed our roads and settlements, and got down to trading "huh-wheat."

Six years ago, we did this often. Multiple nights a week. This is the Matt and Amanda who played footsies under the table, one of my favorite stages of early relationship. If you don't know us personally, you might have trouble matching the faces of the younger versions of ourselves with the older ones, and, sadly, not everyone is pictured at both ages. Good luck, anyways!

This is a diary post of sorts, as most of my posts are, so that when, in six more years, we meet again to play, we'll have proper documentation to compare our future selves against.
