Rate the Date | Photo Session with Jenna Hidinger Photography

There is something so special about seeing photos from throughout a person's lifetime, especially ones from your own story. Memories of the time and place the photo was taken flood your mind and the emotions take you back to that frozen moment captured in a still frame. Nazari and I will forever love reminiscing our wedding day by perusing through our photos and videos, because we are immediately brought back to how in love we were on our wedding day, and why we chose to get

Rate the Date | Labor Day Liftoff Hot Air Balloon Ride

On a random day years ago, I was brainstorming surprises for Nazari and I thought it would be fun to surprise him with a hot air balloon ride for our anniversary or his birthday. Because it's such a splurge, I threw the idea by him to gauge his interest and he shut me down real fast, declaring he had no interest in said activity. Fast forward to this past fall months prior to my 30th birthday. He informed me that he was planning something that he wanted to be a surprise, howe

Rate the Date | Bike Pittsburgh

Pittsburgh is second to none when it comes to scenic views and accessibility. The amount of ground you can cover and the breathtaking sights you can take in on a bike ride around Pittsburgh is truly remarkable, and in our opinion, an unparalleled experience. It has actually been quite a while since Naz and I have gone on a bike ride. We haven’t stepped foot on a bicycle since our 56 mile ride that about killed us last May. But a leisurely ride at golden hour in our favorite c

Sedona Arizona: Pink Jeep Tour

When planning our trip to Sedona, we knew more than a few people that had visited this picturesque destination and in all of their recommendations, there was one commonality: The Pink Jeep Tour I took their word for it and insisted that we HAD to set one of these up. Nazari was a bit more skeptical, worried that it would feel too cliché or “touristy”. Plus, it wasn’t exactly cheap. My continued persistence led him to do some research of his own, and he was blown away by the r

Rate the Date: Arsenal Bowling Double Date

Bowling is bowling is bowling. Or is it? We never really want to go bowling until we go bowling, and then we have so much fun! It's not an activity we do often, and we tend to think of it as a kind of rainy day, or winter activity. But even though we don't frequent the lanes often, Nazari somehow still manages to be frustratingly good. We’d heard about Arsenal bowl years ago, and even tried to go once, but couldn’t get a lane. Then a couple of months ago we were in Lawrencevi

Rate the Date: Kniess' Mini Golf

In the past few years, Nazari as gotten really into playing golf. The 18-holes-takes-forever-expensive-golf. Me... not so much. So the miniature kind of golf tends to be our middle ground and something we always enjoy playing together. As we've gotten older, mini golf has become a less frequent occurence. The reasons for this could be many - such as the weather in Pittsburgh... Not knowing where to play... Alas, the weather is FINALLY getting better. So that is no longer and

Rate the Date: The Candle Lab

The Candle Lab is one of the most fun dates we have gone on yet! This memorable spot is located in the heart of Lawrenceville. We arrived on a Friday afternoon and were greeted by the friendly staff and felt all of the good energy right away. The place is super cute, very well laid out, aesthetically pleasing and impressively welcoming. Although it is very open concept, it still feels very intimate, and the staff's early greeting keeps you from every feeling awkward and unsur

The Scary Thing That Happens When You Aren't Growing Closer

Can you believe that we are already over a quarter of the way through the year?! This reality just reminds us of how quickly time seems to fly by and how if we are not intentional about something, it does not happen. Whether it is exercise, our business, our friendships, or our relationship, we find that each passing year demands more and more intentionality so that life isn’t just passing us by. Because if you aren’t growing closer to something, or someone, you are growing f

Rate the Date: TopGolf

Over the past few years, Nazari has developed a love for and honed his skill in the game of golf. As you can quickly determine from this video, golf is not my sport. So if it has to do with golf, and isn’t the miniature kind, I am less than enthralled. When I first heard about TopGolf, that stance remained. I had no interest in going. Nazari assured me that even if you’re not an amazing golfer, you can still have a good time at TopGolf. Albeit skeptical, I reluctantly agreed

Rate the Date: Skydiving

Some experiences in life leave you hooked, always coming back for more, while others are more of a one and done, cross it off your list type of deal. I can't quite recall the first time I learned about the possibility of skydiving, but I do know it was some time as a teenager and I right away genuinely believed that as soon as I turned 18, I was absolutely, 100%, without a doubt going to go! Well, the years 18 - 21 all came and went and no opportunity for skydiving had presen
