Double Date

We are lucky enough to have amazing friends that are also married or have been dating for a long time. A group date is a good way to catch up with friends and we love hanging out with them.

We recently went over to our friends house and played cards for hours. it was a great night with great friends and its nice to stay in yet be with different people.

Just make sure who ever you choose to do a double date or group date with people that you AND your husband get a long with.

Memory Lane Date

Every couple has gone on a journey to get to where you are today. Every journey is different and special in its own way. Along that journey great memories have been made. I love remembering great moments in my life wheather its looking through photos or going back to where the memory was made. Its a great reminder of how far I have come as a person and how far we have come as a couple.

Our "first date" (we were not dating at this point but it was the first time we were together outside of high school) was going to Cedar Point with Josh & Heidi. The memory that stands out most from that day was when we got on the power tower and I thought we were in line for the side that goes up and it was the one that went down. I don't like heights and i didn't like sitting at the top waiting to fall...Charlie thought it was funny but he held my hand while we waited to drop. It was a small gesture that made me feel so much better and has always stood out in my memory. We have only been back there once since then but I am determind to go back again this year.

The main issue with this date idea is the cost and travel. Cedar Point isn't too far but its better as a weekend trip. In order to make this possible I want to challege myself to have more free date nights so that we can splurge on this one.

Where/what was your most memerable date?? Do you plan on going back there??

$5 Movie Night

Our local movie theater has a special on Tuesdays....most movies are just $5 a person! We didn't really have a date planned this week and we both go out of work early so we decided to go. We say Valentines Day, it was cute and had a lot of big names in it. The movie was a great choice for a date but we ended up in the movie with a crying toddler and teenagers behind us. I really hate when that happeneds but that is life.

After the movie we went over to Wal-mart to get something for a baby shower at my husbands work. The highlight of the night was him walking around with a box of diapers looking a baby girls dresses! it was so cute.

Have you seen any great movies lately?

Date Night @ The Golf Dome

We went to the golf dome saturday night for our date. It was nice to swing a club again and we got a few laughs out of the night also! Golfing is a great couples activity, i know what you are thinking....its so borring. I was on the same page until i needed an extra course my last semester of college and my dad suggested it. It is a borring sport to watch but it is fun to play...plus you get to drive a golf cart!!!

Here are some photos i took on our date...

We had a great date night, after hitting some balls we walked around Borders and the night cost less than $20! Can't wait for spring so we can have another golf date OUTSIDE!

Winter Date Ideas

Winter is a great time to cuddle up inside for dates but it can cause cabin fever for couples who love the outdoors. We have a hard time in the winter since I hate being cold but love being outside. Winter activities can be limited due to weather conditions and most couples are still recovering from the holidays. But there are still some great things to do on a budget.

Outside: ice staking at a local rink, sledding at a state park, snowball fights & local festivals such as ice carving displays.

Inside: a picnic on the floor, shopping at thrift/resale shops, game nights & theme dinner and a movie such as Italian food with The Godfather.

This week our winter date will be going to an indoor driving range, we already own all of the equipment so the only cost will be a bucket of balls.
