We’ve been married just over six year. At least twice a month, we have a Date Night.
Date Night can be anything from a night in a hotel room to taking a walk in a local park! It’s whatever the budget allows. But, no matter what the budget says, we always do something every month!
Tomorrow night is Date Night. We have decided to go see a movie and grab a bite to eat. We are members of the Five Buck Club; which allows you to see current movies, still in the theater, for just $5.00. You can get a membership with Five Buck Club by clicking HERE. Once you complete your membership, you will receive a membership card in the mail. You present this card at the theater you signed up for, and the movie simply costs $5.00!! 
It’s a fun way to save a couple dollars! (Now if we can just figure out how to save money on the drinks and popcorn!! LOL)

Saturday, my husband is taking our youngest daughter car shopping. She is driving the minivan that we gave her a couple of years ago, and it’s begun to have some problems. Instead of dumping money into it all the time, she’s decided to find something different. She’s found so many cars that she would just LOVE to have, but can’t seem to get the kind of deal that she wants, and needs. So “Dad” is going with her, to help her out. I hope they are able to find something!
Wednesday of next week is her birthday, too. So after they are done car shopping, I am taking her out for her birthday, to Olive Garden. Grandpa’s gonna stay home and watch the kids, while we go enjoy a wonderful meal, and those Breadsticks!!! Oh my goodness, do I love those Breadsticks! Makes my mouth water just thinking about them!

Sunday we are celebrating the 2nd youngest Grandson’s birthday, which isn’t until next Saturday. We are meeting at Chuck E. Cheese for his birthday party. Should be a fun time for all! I can’t believe he’s 4 years old already! He sure is a cutie pie! And LOVES to make people laugh! He will do anything silly just to get you to laugh at him! I love it! For so young, he has a great sense of humor.

Next week, there are four houses to clean on my schedule. Busy week. Then Tuesday night we are going to an FFA Auction at our local high school. One of the students built a bird house, and my husband painted it for him. It turned out so cute!! The bird house will be auctioned off. I pray he makes a lot of money off of it, for the FFA. The kid was so tickled with the way it turned out. He kept saying “Thank You” over and over again! It did our hearts some good to be able to help him out.

Tomorrow is going to be a GOOD day! For the first time since we’ve been married, we will have NO CREDIT CARDS! Our last credit card will be PAID IN FULL tomorrow; and a couple of other bills, too. Once these are all paid, that will leave us with just the mortgage and a motorcycle payment! Everything else will be GONE; along with a major dent made in the motorcycle balance, as well. So by the end of the year (if not sooner), we will have the bike paid off, too! I can’t tell you how good this feels! It is such a relief to have all of these things paid off. It’s taken us just over a year to get this done! But praise God, it’s done! Woo Hoo!!!

Before I go, I would like to share a recipe with you. Hope to do that with each daily post. I hope you enjoy them!
1/2 cup of Brown Sugar
1/4 cup melted butter
2 tbsp of Garlic Salt
Wash and slice Sweet Potatoes
In a large glass bowl, heat the brown sugar, butter, and garlic salt for 1 minute in the microwave; until the butter is melted.
Place the sliced sweet potatoes in the glass bowl and coat the slices with the brown sugar mixture.
Place on HOT grill (George Foreman works perfect), and grill until tender!
ENJOY!!

Blessings!
