A Fabulous Beginning...

I know that fall hasn't officially begun yet, but to me it has and this weekend was a fabulous way to begin a new season! Friday when I got home I found Derek counting the money in our piggy bank that we started before we got married. I asked him what he was doing and he said he wanted to take me to dinner to celebrate me finishing my first whole week of work! We were out of money in our entertainment envelope so he found another way to take me to dinner...he is the sweetest husband ever! We ended up going to Pier 49 Pizza. We each got our own little pizza's and they were fabulous! We then went and ran some errands for my work and then to the DI to find some curtains for the dramatic play area in my classroom. I found some curtains and Derek found an awesome printer/scanner/copier for $5 we got it home and it works and has full ink levels! What a deal!
On Saturday we decided to go around to garage sales. I have been wanting to all summer but never have gotten around to it. We found some awesome deals. I got some cute vintage salad bowls that look like lettuce leafs and some yellow vintage flower dishes! Each set was only $1 totally awesome! We also found a jogging stroller for $15 and it's super nice. We found some parenting/pregnancy books that I've been wanting. A compact baby swing for $5 Hopefully we'll be able to use our new baby items next year! Oh and Derek found Heelies. Ya know the shoes with wheels! Who knew they actually made them in his size! He was so excited. His smile lit up his whole face when he saw them. We then went to find some corn to buy. We found a cute little road side stand that has AMAZING corn! We got a whole bag for $4...that's like 20 corns! That night we went to dinner with my Grandma and little bug Kolten, he was staying the weekend with her.
On Sunday we went to a BBQ (well an indoor one since it was down pouring) at Nelson's house who is Derek's mom's boyfriend. We had a great time and ate really yummy food. Derek always likes it when he gets to talk to his brother about computers!
Unfortunately Derek had to work today (well, he actually chose to work) so I miss him. But he'll be home soon =)
I'm loving the rain and hope it stays cool for awhile!
