"Goodbye Summer" Weekend

I promised to give an update on how Del did with planning our 1st anniversary celebration so here it is: he did good for a 1st timer ;)
No, in all seriousness it was a great 1st anniversary. I came home from work on Friday to a beautiful bouquet of flowers and a card on the table. While admiring the bunch I noticed a gorgeous dark pink lily in the middle of the bouquet and commented on it; Del then pointed out there was 1 red rose as well. He had specifically asked for 1 of each since those were the flowers we used in our wedding. How thoughtful ;)

On Friday night, we went to dinner at a place called Cool Hand Luke's, not far from where we got married, then rented a movie and indulged ourselves with cake truffles -- the same ones we served at our wedding. Del had promised me about 8 months ago that if I'd let him throw away our wedding cake, that was taking up 1/2 our freezer, he would buy me cake truffles for our anniversary so I gave in.
The next day, after running some errands, I was loving the fabulous 88 degree weather and said, "I wanna go camping." So we got groceries, packed things up and 4 hrs later we were at our lakeside camp spot. Dellas jumped right on his jetski and he and Oakley played around in the water until dinner.
Every time Del would take off out of sight, Oakley would go running down the shore or swimming WAY off shore to try and catch up to him, but was never quite fast enough :-P So Del tried to give him a little ride, which turned out unsuccessful seeing he couldn't hang off the back, hold on to Oak, steer, balance and hit the gas all at once. Instead, he let pup just chill on it for awhile.

All-in-all, it was a great anniversary weekend and perfect end to the summer. I've given in and put up my fall decorations and decided to embrace the new season...but I still can't wait for next summer and our 2nd anniversary!
