When we got married, my husband, Greg, and I realized we needed to budget much better than either of us ever had before. The first topic of contention was the food budget; Greg estimated $600/month for both of us, while I suggested $300/month for the two of us.

However, besides seeing the temple, I decided to do lots of exploring, since I’d never been to Philly before. It was a solo trip, which I’m used to by now. I like traveling… Read More Philadelphia Phun: Phood, Phreemasons, and Prison

I’ve been dating this fellow, Greg, for three months now. He’s a lot more than just a guy I’m dating, though. I’ve known him for almost six and a half years, of which we have only dated three months.
