dates



hubby and i are always dating on a budget. we have our envelope system and in it is a date envelope. but realistically, we have alot of envelopes and sometimes that poor date envelope just doesnt get fed a whole lot. so we are always thinking of things we can do for free or cheap.

one thing we love to do is play tennis. there are a few tennis courts in town that are free. we dont play by the rules but it sure is fun to get out there and whack the ball back and forth. we love anything active and active is usually cheap or free. find some country and take a nice long walk or hike. thats active and gives plenty of time to talk. you could even pack up a picnic instead of going out to eat.
another thing that is low cost is driving up to a lake. there are trails to hike and swimming is fun if the weathers warm. sometimes all you have to do is pay to park. again, pack a picnic lunch or dinner.
christmas shopping is one of our favorite things to do on a date. its not free but if you do the envelope system you get to use the christmas envelope! so you have the fun of spending money but your spending it on others and accomplishing something.
even driving up to old sac or another historic place is fun. you dont have to buy at these places. window shopping is fun and there are alot of things to see that do not cost any money.
so you dont have to have alot of money to make a date nice. just being together makes it a nice time.
