Last weekend, Jon and I had a garage sale.
We decided it would be short and sweet, and anything unsold would be going straight to Salvation Army. 
We were open from 9am until 2pm, and made $150. Nothing impressive, but it felt so good to get rid of all the CRAP that has been piled in our garage since we moved into this house.

Normally, when we earn or are given money outside of our regular income, it goes straight into savings.
However, we've been living on a super tight budget for the last year. So we decided to be reckless with the money we made from the garage sale.

Since we don't have much of an entertainment budget this summer, we bought a boat. There is a lake right by our house, and now we have hours upon hours of FREE entertainment.

Behold.

The boat

 And of course, life vests

On Wednesday night, we packed a "picnic" (read: beer and chips) and floated around the lake to eat dinner and talk about our day. It was amazingly peaceful and fun. I can't wait to go out again this weekend!
