Pirates!

A few months back, we hosted a party for Aaron's cousins. Having a theme was by no means necessary, but we chose Pirates all the same. The flag and statue are from Assassin's Creed IV, and I just happened to see a gift set of Captain Morgan that came with cannonball cups. We made a pirate Spotify list (turns out there are a lot of pirate songs out there) found a bunch of rum drink recipes, and decorated the mantle. That was in march... and I've since added a pirate book and a bottle of rum to the mantle. I'm not sure what it says about who I am as a person that this still delights me greatly. Even better, Aaron has said nothing about taking it down, which is either a sign of his love or his indifference. I recently realized that whenever delivery people come to our door, their first glimpse in into the house reveals a gigantic black pirate flag...
