zoe1983 Posted July 12, 2009 Posted July 12, 2009 ok so my fiance and i share the same birthday and our birthday is also the same day that we officially became a couple. We just recently bought a townhouse and are also saving for our wedding and i feel like we have just gotten bogged down with life. I was hoping to come up with something creative for our birthday to put some spark back in the relationship. Our birthday is on a monday in august and i have the actual day off as well as the saturday and sunday off before that but thats it. My fiance could probably get those days off but i want to surprise him with some sort of trip. It has to be cheap but im hoping someone has some good ideas????
Lucky_One Posted July 12, 2009 Posted July 12, 2009 Give me a budget, and your willingness for/methods preferred for travel.
Author zoe1983 Posted July 12, 2009 Author Posted July 12, 2009 hmm well i think driving is the most economical option for us. We live in southern Virginia. I really dont want to spend anymore then 400 total. I know that doesnt sound like much but i would even be open to a day trip if it was exciting. We actually live right next to virginia beach but we have done that before so i want something different....
Lucky_One Posted July 12, 2009 Posted July 12, 2009 http://www.virginiabedbreakfasts.com/central-va-accommodations.html Go up on the Eastern Shore. You can spend the day at Chincoteague (ever read those books about Misty, the horse, as a girl?), or at the beach, or kayaking, hiking or fishing, or just poking around looking for your first "real" print for your new home or an antique clock for your new mantel. Your BF may be a bit leery of a stay in a b&b, but I have never been disappointed, and the BFs I have introduced to them have fallen in love with them. A fantastic breakfast, a beautiful room, wine in the afternoons, freedom to come and go as you please at night and during the day. Tons of amenities, much more luxurious and romantic than a hotel.

Author zoe1983 Posted July 13, 2009 Author Posted July 13, 2009 what do you think the problem is?I know we are stressed about money but i thought that was normal. What should we do?

Lucky_One Posted July 13, 2009 Posted July 13, 2009 Do you need "spark" to come back, or do you just need some alone time with some relaxation in order for the wind to pop that spark back to life? In other words, all couples go through periods where they are tired, stressed and just plain caught up in life. Taking a weekend to unwind and reconnect is healthy, and is something that will be necessary for the rest of your lives, no matter how deeply in love you remain. I don't see a problem with what you are doing. You are nurturing something, and that is always good.
Author zoe1983 Posted July 15, 2009 Author Posted July 15, 2009 hmm we met where we both used to work...Target to be exact. Nothing romantic about that lol

Nothing romantic about that lol Having the same birthday and having that day also the day that you two officially become a couple seems pretty romantic to me. By the way, every time I go to Target, there always seem to have some hot chicks working there. When I was younger, I would have loved to work there.
