Sunrise to Sunset, with lots of caffeine in between

  The hubs and I had a lot of fun planned today. We've been talking for what seems like forever about taking a Saturday morning to drive around and garage sale shop. T loves to garage sale shop! I found out, from a co-worker, about a huge community-wide garage sale in her area this weekend. I came home, told T, and even though it was on the other side of town, he was sold!

  We got up bright and early this morning, at our normal weekday time, which I wasn't completely excited about. I'm definitely a morning person, but by the time Saturday morning rolls around, I'm looking forward to maybe sleeping until 5:30 or so. But, the hubs was super excited, so I dragged myself out of bed at 4:30 to get my workout on.

  We left about 7:15, and this required lots of coffee!

  Before we'd even arrived at our destination I informed the hubby that as a result of my massive intake of coffee I would require a potty break. One thing I love about the T is that he doesn't just make a quick stop at a gas station for potty breaks. He likes to go to grocery stores or super centers. So, we stopped at HEB Plus. I was baffled by this sight. Pumpkins and Christmas trees. It's the perfect combination....right....??

  Back on the road, happy husband....loves his garage sales.

  Best buy of the day: this gorgeous accent chair that the hubby not only negotiated down to a great price of $20, but also managed to fit into the backseat of our Ford Focus! Great job T!

  After a few hours of shopping we headed out for lunch at a great place, Two Step Cafe and Cantina. This was our second time there, and I think we've decided it's definitely one of our new favorite places in town. Every single morsel of food is amazing. T and I stick to a pretty strict diet regiment during the week, but we allow ourselves one cheat meal, and this was definitely an awesome cheat meal!

 For starters, I had their El Jefe Margarita, voted one of SA's best Margaritas

  We shared the Texas Rolls, which are kinda like an egg roll, with chicken and sausage

  For my lunch, I had the fried catfish, served with hush puppies and borracho beans. Delicious!

  Picture of us, enjoying lunch on the patio. Great day together!

  This evening, T had a family photo shoot scheduled downtown. I tagged along to help him. (T does photography on the side. I promise I'll do a more extensive post about this in the near future).

  Great, old building downtown

  The hubs and I had such a fun day together! We're definitely tired, so I think I'm off to bed. It's way past my normal bedtime.
