The Chronic Consumer

Our 10-year anniversary is about a year away. We usually don’t do anything too special for our anniversaries, but we’ll try to celebrate this one in style since it’s sort of a milestone (particularly in this day and age). I’m not the kind of woman who needs jewelry or flowers or big, romantic gestures for these occasions, so instead of something like that, we’re thinking of taking a trip. The list of destinations is pretty short because we can’t really afford anything completely exotic. The finalists at this point are Hawaii, where we got married, and Las Vegas, a place that neither of us has been to yet.

We’re leaning towards Vegas because we’re not the kind of people who like to go to the same place over and over again. Sure, Hawaii is awesome, but we sort of feel that it would be a waste of money to go there again. As a result, we’ll probably end up in Vegas, which is fine by me.

I’m already checking into different las vegas deals to see how much a vacation might cost us. We wouldn’t necessarily have to gamble the whole time, but would like to take in the Hoover Dam, a few shows, and of course a buffet every day. I’m sure this sort of anniversary trip would have some people rolling their eyes because of how commonplace it seems, but whatever. It sounds like a blast to us!

I’m going to keep looking for some good deals. Who knows, maybe I’ll even end up booking a trip well before our anniversary. That would be cool too!
