"
Make an afternoon of all the things you both loved to do or always wanted to do as children. Is there a carousel in town? Were you a budding finger-artist? Or were the simple things, like swinging and eating ice cream (be sure to get some on your face and hands) more your specialty?"
Our 'Afternoon of Regression' is planned for Thursday afternoon. We have started building our list already, and some things you have to look forward to reading about are sidewalk chalk, Nintendo, and 'suicides'. We won't give any more plans away, so you will just have to find out what else is in store for us after our date!

ALL ABOUT THIS BLOG
We are starting this blog out of boredom-not boredom in our love for each other, but boredom with dating. Typical date-nights in Evansville, Indiana include going out to eat, then seeing a movie. If you really want to spice things up, you might see the movie first and THEN go out to eat. Amanda recently made a purchase at the local Barnes and Noble that included a deck of cards titled '52 Great Cheap Dates' by Lynn Gordon. The purpose of this deck of cards is to spice up dating without hurting your budget. Each card has a different cheap date idea written and illustrated on the front. Some of the ideas are goofy and cheesy, while others might be taken a little more seriously. According to Gordon, all you need for a great date is a little imagination, the right attitude, and a delightful playmate. We have at least 2 out of 3 of these things most days, so we're giving it a shot.
WHAT YOU SHOULD EXPECT FROM THIS BLOG
We will be drawing a random card out of the deck each week and completing the date idea given, without complaints! Other things to expect are:
- Weekly updates
- Amanda's viewpoint on each date
- Justin's viewpoint on each date
- Photos, of course!
We are willing and excited to explore this new, creative side of dating and look forward to sharing it with you!
