Exercise Pays Off

Eric and I have been going on walks almost every night lately. It's nice to get some sort of physical activity when I work at an office job and Eric sits in a classroom all day. Some nights we have been sweaty messes when we get home because it's so freaking hot here this month! But some nights I come home in a happy mood. Yesterday was a happy day because:

#1 It was the first night in a very long time that there was a tiny bit of cool to the breeze.

#2 Eric and I walked past our dumpster and stumbled across this headboard:

It didn't take long before we snatched it up, sanitized it, and put it in our room! (And no, it wasn't actually in the dumpster)

We all know I like free stuff, but even more, I LOVE free stuff that I would actually pay money for. A month or two ago Eric and I went to a garage sale and I really wanted to buy a headboard and footboard that we found for $50. I thought it was a great deal, but Eric reminded me I can't just buy things because I want them. So instead of paying $50 on an impulse buy, I found a FREE headboard at random.

Just thought I'd share my good news! Life is great sometimes :)
