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!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
