Labor Day Weekend

Derek was fortunate enough to get Friday and Monday off of work making it a glorious four-day weekend for us! Since our care-free weekends just the two of us are coming to an end, we certainly made the most of this one! Here's a re-cap of our fun-filled weekend...

• Thursday evening: dinner with friends! We've been going out to eat once a week with Derek's friends from work, and each week we try a new local place. It's been really fun, and we've found lots of great new (well, new to us!) places that we might not have tried otherwise.
• Friday: We had our maternity pictures taken in the morning. Then, Derek did some studying (he takes Step 3 of the Boards at the end of the month) while I worked on our baby book, and later in the afternoon we made a trip to the commissary together. We capped off the day with a date to Mary Mahoney's...it was wonderful!
• Saturday: We watched college football all.day.long. And we loved every minute of it!
• Sunday: We went to the beach for a couple of hours, then headed out for the evening with our neighbors! We tried a new place for dinner, went to see the movie The Other Guys, and then stopped off for some ice cream at Bop's. We were surprised to learn when we moved here that Biloxi doesn't have any "chain" ice cream places like Cold Stone or Dairy Queen (the only exception is that there's a Baskin Robins inside the BX on base), but Bop's gives those places a run for their money...it's quite tasty!!
• Monday: It was a low-key day spent around the house. We grilled some hot dogs for dinner and enjoyed watching the Boise State/VT game.

I have a doctor's appointment tomorrow afternoon, so I'll try to post an update sometime after that! Hope everyone has a great short week! :)
