A wise woman once told me that pursing my husband doesn't have to be expensive or even extravagant for that matter. After all, the whole point is meant to usher a couple into quality time with their spouse to keep that passion burning. I've learned that the more time you invest in your relationship, the more value it holds, so I've collaborated with my husband to get both perspectives on how to make the most fun out of your time together. Here are 12 inexpensive date night ideas:


1.Go start a fire, literally.I'm serious! Some of the best times my husband and I have had are simply cuddling up next to a fire. Whether it be a bonfire (with a burn permit), or one from your very own fireplace, simply enjoy each other by relaxing next to the glow.


2. Movie Night In.Instead of watching a movie at the theater, make it more intimate by grabbing a movie from the Redbox. Throw in some popcorn and head back home to enjoy your own personal theater. Bonus tip: Make a fort (or love haven) to watch it all from and amp up the experience.


3. Go Dancing in the Middle of Nowhere. I'm from a small town so you don't need to search far to find an old dirt road or an empty field. Once you find a secluded place, crank up the music and dance your heart out with your honey.


4. Have A Paint War. Grab some paint from your local craft store and enjoy the thrill of plastering your spouse with the colors of the rainbow.Bonus Tip: Grab a canvas, do your war in the buff and become human art tools for some pretty unique bedroom art.



5. Go Fishing.If your the outdoor type, going fishing is a fun way to spend time with your main catch.


6. Cook A Nice Meal. Instead of going to a restaurant, bring the same atmosphere home by cooking a meal together and enjoying your creation over a nice candlelit dinner.


7. Camp Out. Even if it's just in your own back yard, leave the electronics in the house and spend a night under the stars with your better half.


8. Go Out For Ice Cream. You can never go wrong with ice cream, or my personal favorite, a huge bowl of decked out fro-yo.


9. Take A Bubble Bath. If you have the space, create your own personal spa complete with candles, music (and of course the bubbles), and relax with your love.


10. Watch Your Wedding Video. Take a trip down memory lane and get lost in the moment you first said "I do", all over again.

11. Play A Game Of Trivia. Not just any game of trivia, take turns asking each other anything and everything and get to know each other better.


12. Watch The Sunset. A great way to enjoy winding down from a long day is by watching God's glorious creation with your hunny. Bonus Tip: Sunsets on the beach are absolutely stunning.

Now that you have some ideas, go enjoy your spouse and stoke that fire!

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
