Cheap Date Day!!

(NOTE: This blog is not only a way to keep in touch 'visually' with our families, but is also a way to document the things we do together as a couple, so we can always remember them. The main point of this post is to remind us how simple things can be while still having a BLAST!!)

Have any of you seen this commercial?? It's a Sonic commerical, but it's really funny. Check it out...

Well, we LOVE this commcercial and it has inspired us to have 'Cheap Date day/nights' on mondays!! :)

(warning: we don't plan to have DAY LONG dates like this every monday, but we had 3 different things to celebrate... NO SCHOOL, Valentines, and cheap date day!!)

Today we decided to celebrate Valentines and also do our 'Cheap Date Day'. It started off by driving to Logandale... WHY? you might ask... well I am love with Marverik Hot Dogs. Ya, it may be sick and disgusting to some of you, but I LOVE them. I can't even remember the last time I had one. I also LOVE their pickles and banana peppers. Doesn't take much to please this girl!! Vegas doesn't have Maveriks, but Logandale does...

30 min drive+couple bucks for lunch=CHEAP AMAZING DATE!! :)

Look at this sign we saw on our drive... we're only 1/2 mile from home!! ;)

(for those who don't know, Byron is a small town not to far from our hometown)

We drove around Logandale for awhile, just relaxing and checking out the small town life. It was such a fun, relaxing day. It was also such a beauitful day, 70 degrees. :) Very very nice since its been raining off and on the last month. I've been looking forward to the sun!! :)

When we got back to Vegas, we decided it would be fun to go mini-golfing. It was open this time and we had a blast. We met a family from Wheatland, Wyoming... they were one hole ahead of us the whole time. We think we may have annoyed them a little because we have fun and tend not to care what people think about it! :) We started to get a little bored waiting for the wyoming family to move onto the next hole ahead of us, so we began making human obstacles for eachother to try and get the golf ball through. :) (You'll have to check out those pics!) On hole 16 I got REAL lucky and got a-hole-in-one!!! That's pretty good compared to the previous holes where it was more like a-hole-in-5!! :) I got my name on the "Hole in One" board... yep, just as excited as a 5 year old I know... once again very very easy to please.
I'm going to just put a slide show up of all our pics from the golf because that would just be too long. :)

To celebrate Valentines, Nick decided to end the date day with going to dinner at Olive Garden.
Obviously, not making it an ALL DAY thing will help keep the whole "cheap" idea in order. :) I am personally looking forward to these date days together. We're already sick of this semesters schedule and not getting to see eachother very often, so this is going to be great, cheap, and so much fun for us!!
