Neil-less Weekend

9 Jul 2010

Does that sound better than a Neil-free weekend? Neil is gone at a bachelor party this weekend. They’re going trout fishing in Arkansas. Apparently there are no trout in Missouri, or they’re very elusive or lackluster. He and I are very rarely apart. We are together, whether it be in-person or online…nearly all day. While [...]

Bundt Cake Pan, under $1.00

Kettle, paid $.25 cents!

Neil’s find, vintage napkin holder.

Beautiful Silhouettes, apparently worth quite a bit more than I paid for them!

My new bag!
Score. That’s all I can say to describe this weekend!
It was officially our last free weekend till August 1. There were so many things we wanted to accomplish, and we [...]

Be My Frugal Valentine: Ideas for a Dinner Date at Home

In: Food| Frugality| Kitchen| relationship

12 Feb 2010

This is an actual photo of Neil’s and my first dinner date at home. We lived three hours apart and only saw each other on the weekends, so every weekend was compressed to include everything we thought normal couples would do or would be doing during the week in a new relationship. I was a [...]

Be My Frugal Valentine: Cheapie Date Ideas

In: Frugality| Holidays| relationship

11 Feb 2010

I’m always a little hesitant to tell people how to spend their holidays, especially those that involve dates. Dates are something personal and that’s the way they should be. How you grow closer to someone has to be on your terms and by your own methods. That being said, I know a lot of people [...]

Neil and I on our first vacation together in Florida (2007)

I have a real hard time giving up the day Neil and I became a couple for the day we got married as our anniversary. The day we got together was a proclamation to everyone what we knew from day one, which just happens to [...]

Happy Weekend!

We are so ready for this weekend. It is the first since before the wedding that will neither involve being out of town or preparing for a wedding. We’re ecstatic! In the absence of both of these circumstances there are still tons of things we’d like to do and accomplish, so the brief rundown:
Friday:

Date night, [...]

To say that the past week has been anything but satan’s fist would be a complete lie. As my colleagues scramble to secure their crops and Neil’s struggle to cool themselves in a warehouse without A/C, he and I have crossed the threshold into our final month of being boyfriend and girlfriend. The majority of [...]

It’s finally sinking in. I’ve been engaged for over a year and its finally sinking in that there will be a huge change in just over a month. Just little things, like, well my name change for instance. I did a facebook search for “Jessica Durboraw,” which of course netted one result. A search for [...]

I can’t believe it’s already Tuesday.
We had a whirlwind weekend, and it went so fast and was so packed that before we knew it, it was Sunday morning and we were racing home for Church. We accomplished a lot for the wedding this weekend, although it didn’t feel like we did. It made the weekend [...]
