It's Only Our Beginning. . .

      I always am interested. . . Interested on how to do things better and also interested in a good love story! I want to give a good backstory of Jedd and I and a couple starts of our beginnings. How we met, and how we started dating on a dime, or started to date a dime <3

      I had to meet with a counselor before classes officially started. Once! Twice. . . Again? I had my classes finally figured out by the 3rd meeting. He helped me choose some classes he thought would help me progress in my degree. Little did I know that he would put me in a class where I would meet this handsome catch named Jedd Tibbitts.
     First day of class we had to introduce ourselves and our most favorite weird food! I said this banana boat thing with peanut butter, honey because it is to die for! Jedd I think was interested. . . in the bananas you ask? No, not the bananas because I found out later after now dating him for 5 months, he still hasn't tried them and that is because he does not like bananas! But he still talked to me after class and said "Well hey, I'll have to try that sometime." Sweet guy right? Doin' something only the little lady likes ;)
    **Mandatory detail story to read** --- We were both in the rodeo and that's how we reallyy started talking! During the rodeo, Jedd had won the team roping and I had finished barrel racing, and I was sitting in the stands. I was talking to my roommate about the guy who was in my humanities class! Not 2 seconds later I see him (Jedd), ride around the arena with a pizza box. . . and written on that pizza box was his number! I was like Oh hey, Carlie there he is! Laughed a little and shook my head like Ohhh boy... haha and maybe decided to move on. . not because I didn't think he was cute! But because I didn't want to fight those girls for that pizza box ;) 




     After the rodeo, he started small talk with me after class about horses and such! Then he asked for my number! (Oh my goodness, he asked for my number!!! No pizza box for me!!) He called me soon after. . . well actually he didn't text me for two weeks!!  I messaged him on FaceBook (he more or less not only roped the calf at the rodeo, but also me) because  I thought how could I let this cute cowboy slip away? I said "Either you're real good at playing the waiting game, or I gave you the wrong number! And I don't want it to be the second one." Believe it or not he texted me maybe an hour later! (Secret happy dance inside when I saw the text). Oh Oh, then he asked me on a date! We were going to go roller skating skating but they were closed. . he ended up having a coupon for bowling and it was a free date! (Already DatingOnADime?? Whaa?... He's good(; )
     Since then we have continued to go on dates and get to know each other. We love to go out and have a good time with each other and try to learn something new about one another each time. But how many times can you actually go out and spend $30 on a date a week? And if you actually did that every week that is $120 a month! Think about it. . . as college students working until the days end, how much can we really afford to spend on dates? Even if you aren't college students and you are reading this blog, I think you can agree that dinner might happen more than once a week as well as a date. . . Soo. . . How can we date and not go under for it? Jedd and I are experimenting this summer and we are giving ourselves a budget for 5 months of $100 dollars for our dates, May-Sept! I will be updating each week on our plans and how they worked and give you some good tips and ideas for cheap free dates that help you get closer to your love in fun ways. That is what this whole blog is about, and its only our beginning! The beginning of our life long story, and the beginning of first time real life budgeters. . .Ladies and gentlemen Jedd and I present to you Dating On A Dime
