Guest Blogger- Miss Cheltzey


Hey there! My name’s Cheltzey, and I’m blogging from “The Newman Newsie”

I am excited to be a guest blogger on “The Love Shack” and hope you find my post interesting and helpful! Thanks for stopping by!

Shayna asked me to write about a good date idea, but I didn’t know how difficult it would be to choose what I would focus this blog on.

How could I ever pick just one date night out of all the wonderful things that Andrew (my hunk of a man) and I have spent our time doing? I just have to say, my husband is an AWESOME guy who has TONS of sweet ideas. We’ve done every thing from jam sessions at home while Andrew plays his guitar and I sing, to traveling together to see the wonders of this beautiful world. We have gone down to the local “Nature Park” and fed a whole loaf of bread to the funny ducks, and have snuck into empty classrooms on campus to play the pianos because we aren’t lucky enough to have one in our home. I could go on for hours about how much fun I have with him, but what sticks out the most in my head is no matter what we are doing, the most important thing to me is making memories with this wonderful man.

That doesn’t mean, though, that some dates don’t catch my memory better than others! No matter how cool some of our dates have been, my mind keeps going back to something that Andrew and I LOVE to do together.

“What might that be?” Well, I’m glad you asked!

Our favorite date is STARGAZING!

So I know you might be thinking it sounds a little cheesy, but there’s one thing that sets our date apart and that is this wonderful app that we found for Andrew’s phone. It’s called Google Sky Map and it tells you the name of every star you can see in the sky! We love taking a short drive up into the dry farms behind Rexburg or Idaho Falls and cuddling up to just look at the stars. (Hot chocolate is definitely a must for this date!)

The best thing about doing this is the lack of distractions. There is no T.V. or other couples or people getting into your business. It is one of the best things to do when you just want some time away from the world. Some time where you can just be together or sit and talk about the dreams you share and where you are headed together.

What if you don’t have a smart phone? Well, that’s all right. You don’t have to know exactly what you are looking at to see the beauty in it. All you really need to make this date special is some fuel to get away from the town and some blankets and pillows to keep you warm and comfortable. Maybe a late night picnic would be fun too? Mix it up and make it YOUR date! Have some fun and get to know your partner a little better! After all, it’s YOU who best knows what the two of you will most enjoy on a date like this!
