the weekend with Zach and Jody Gray planning and dreaming up ideas for an upcoming marriage retreat! (Ohh yea… get excited you married photog couples!! More info on the CONNECT Retreat soon!) Now I’m on the road to a Baltimore eshoot and then heading to Philly to visit my sister for about 24 hours! …Hey, it’s worth it. I’m still at the age where I can enjoy 5 hour road trips to basically share one meal together and then head home the next morning! It’s going to be fun! … Just a little tiring:) So, what’s the point of this blog post? Well, I’m getting there. I love sharing a few little things every now and
then that I LOVE and find really entertaining/helpful! It’s been a WHILE since I’ve posted about some of our “Good Things” and so I thought the time was right for another installment.
Michael and I have dated since we were 15 and 17 years old. Needless to say, we’ve had plenty of time to try out fun date ideas. Even after Broadway plays and trips to museums, we have found that one of FAVORITE date nights is something that doesn’t involved spending ANY money! …. Our favorite thing to do is drive around and find MASSIVE homes!! It’s just fun! We’ve done this for YEARS. As we’ve grown up and technology has improved, we have been able to take our sketchy stalker-ish date nights to a new level!! This is all thanks to the Trulia App!!!
Trulia is an App that allows you to find homes that are near you and for sale. So basically, Michael and I will drive around crazy neighborhoods with this App and find MASSIVE homes and we can see inside photos of the inside of them as we drive past!! Don’t ask me why we love this so much… it’s just intriguing!! It’s SUPER fun to do when we’re in massive cities or California or NYC! The homes are ridiculous in those locations!! So if you’re a smart phone user and need one more App (I’m sure that’s JUST what you need)…. Trulia is a fun one!!!! It’s definitely one of our favorites! So happy Monday and if you’re house hunting or just looking for something to pass the time on road trips, you can thank me later!
Ps. If you’re a married photog couple and you’re interested in hearing more about the CONNECT retreat, you can signup for a newsletter here!!
