For my husband’s 30th birthday, he wanted to get a group of friends together to go axe-throwing. There’s an axe-throwing place near our house, so we all got together to throw axes. I have been axe-throwing once before, and I was terrible. I will not survive a zombie apocalypse. I surprised myself because I actually didn’t do too badly. I felt our instructor did a great job of explaining how to throw an axe. I’d argue this instructor was better than the one I had previously.

My husband completely kicked all of our asses. With every throw, his axe stuck on the board. I went head-to-head with one of our friends, and I won! I still can’t believe it. My husband was considering joining an axe-throwing league. I’m not sure if he will, but he would be great at it.

This was such a fun night out with friends. As we all get older, it’s difficult for us to find the time to get together. I cherish these moments where we can all spend quality time together.
