Cheap Date Nights:

Lately we've been doing a lot of free or very cheap date nights. I thought I'd post some of the things that we've been doing. Maybe it'll help us in the future if we need ideas for free/cheap date nights.

1) Temple Night!

2) Rom-Com Appetizer Date:

3- HeroClix battle. Our teams working together to defeat a big villain, rather than killing each other we worked together. :-)

4- indoor S'mores with friends and YouTube videos. 

5- ❤️Experimentation Night of Love.❤️

6- Pizza Pie Cafe ($5 buffet coupons)

7- Big Bubble wands with Talia for the first time.

Ideas to try:

- Board Games

- "Play like a child date"

- Nurf gun fight

- picnic at "the peace gardens"

- reinact the first, 2nd, or 3rd date.

- do what your parents did for their first date. 

- $5 Karaoke

Mother's Day 2014

Golden Spike National Park

8 Year Anniversary

McCord's dad, Paul, always gets his mom, Kandi, a bouquet of flowers for their anniversary. McCord did the same for me this year. The pink rose represents Talia and there are 8 daisies. One daisy for each year we've been married.

I thought I'd post this to show how lucky I am to have such an awesome husband. We love each other more and more as time goes on. We truly are a great team!

(For our anniversary, we are going to Promintory Point to celebrate. Post to come later)

Yard work - bringing us together

After asking neighbors to borrow their lawn mower for 2 months, we broke down and bought the cheapest lawn mower we could find with a bag ($200). Happy Birthday to me, Mother's Day, and Father's Day.

We don't have any tools to do anything around the yard so I am proud to present my work of weeding the flower bed with a kitchen tablespoon and a glass plastic pitcher of water.

BEFORE:

AFTER:

It's amazing what a little cleaning can do. I didn't plant any flowers or anything, just weeded and cleaned it up.

McCord has done the same with our grass. :-)

We're so proud!
