LIF: Married People's Edition

Over the past few months of really being active on the forum, I have been lucky enough to meet, in person and via web, some really great people. I've been trying to win something in order to create a LIF, but I keep coming up short. So, I have decided to just create one, and my goal is to have one every few months with random topics. This first one seemed fitting, for a variety of reasons, but this is a reconnection it forward of sorts. They will not all be this lavish, but this one is time sensitive. There are a few rules to this, so please read them:

1. You must be married to someone and it has to have been for more than a year (no girlfriends/boyfriends-- legally married, don't care if it is gay or straight. I am not the marriage police, so I will have to believe you are--please don't lie about it).
2. You must be able to take a day or consecutive days off with your spouse between now and mid-May
3. You both have to have valid passports and can get to Niagra Falls
4. You promise not to re-gift or sell your winning. You will use it and post follow-up pictures.
5. You will start up a LIF of random kindness that requires the winner of yours to do the same.

If you still qualify, here is your task:
Between now and Sunday, April 15th, you and your spouse (no children, friends, etc.) must take a picture of something fun (BA appropriate, please) you are doing together. It can be something you've never done, something that you haven't done in a long while, or something that you do all the time. It doesn't have to involve beer, but if it does include beer bottles in the pictures, could win bonus points. It cannot be a previous picture on a trip, it has to be something that happens this week. No photo-shopped or altered pictures. You can post the picture here or send it to me (if you don't feel comfortable posting), but you have to post a blurb explaining what you are doing and how you both decided on that idea or how it is meaningful to you. I will judge what I like best and choose a winner. The winner will receive:

Two-night stay for two adults in a traditional room at the Sterling Inn & Spa, Niagra Falls (http://www.sterlingniagara.com/)

Included is:

• $50 CAN dining credit, valid at AG Inspired Cuisine
• $50 USD casino voucher, valid at Seneca Niagara Casino
• Wine tasting for two at five Niagara wineries

No, I am not kidding. You just have to pay for your way there and back--and of course whatever you want to do on top of what is already included. So, you have 1 week.....stop wasting time.

 

As long as the conversation is happening while you are doing something outside of your neighborhood, go for it. So far, you are the only one that has verbalized you are trying. Could be the easiest free trip you've ever won.

 

If you like this one....my next one is really fun. Get your cameras ready!

 

Well, it seems the underlying point of this has been lost (ditch kids, have fun)....so, I will open this up to engaged or long term dating people (meaning you live together and have been for over a year). Again, this is an honors system...but the weekend is coming up fast.

 

Wow.....no one wanted a free trip. Well, I tried!
