Hi friends and welcome back to my miniseries on Andrew’s Hobbies! I’m realizing I know VERY little about these last two hobbies, so I am going to combine Andrew’s final hobbies into one post. The final two hobby topics I have for Andrew are video games and airplanes.

The fifth hobby I have to share is video games. Currently, Andrew has been very into playing Destiny. Here’s the little bit I know about Destiny: it has four ‘seasons’ that come out a year, it has new raids that come out a few times a year, it is a first person shooter game, you can play it on your own or with other people online, and it makes for good background noise for a nap. Andrew plays Destiny most nights after I go to bed, since he is a night owl and I am a morning person. When new seasons come out, he tends to play a bit more for the first week or two. When a new raid comes out, they are apparently much more challenging for the first 24 hours. So Andrew plays for that period as much as he can, stopping only for sleep, food, and the bathroom. I don’t mind this, because I get a nice evening and morning to myself with the pups. Hopefully soon, I’ll also get to spend that time as special time with me and our future child.

Andrew loves everything about airplanes and airports. He gets excited about checking out the different planes we might take when we travel. Andrew knows the most recent models of planes, always reading up on what is coming out. He also loves watching them fly, land, and take off. If he has the choice and the time, Andrew would spend time at any airport— far more than I usually have patience for. Recently, he had some flight delays when he was traveling home from a trip on his own and missed a connecting flight. Instead of accepting the later flight bringing him home, he chose to detour through Orlando and take two flights instead of one. He thought it was a great adventure. Andrew’s love of airplanes has rubbed off on me a little bit as well— we enjoy going to air shows and the open house at the Brainerd airport. I think it’s fun to see the little planes and the older planes, while Andrew finds genuine enjoyment out of each airplane. We also both enjoy photographing planes (but Andrew more than me).
