Valentine’s Day is just around the corner and couples everywhere are placing dinner reservations. A nice meal may run you $50, and add 2 movie tickets on top of that, you are looking at a very expensive night. You’ll be fighting crowds the whole time, and it’s not enjoyable for anybody. If you are like […]
My husband and I just passed three months of marriage (hooray!) and we absolutely love being married. He has already learned to put the toilet seat down and I have learned to be on time to places (or at least I’m trying). We started dating in high school and dated for two years before I […]
