HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY!!! :)
Today was a stunning day here in Northern Virginia! The weather was perfect dress-wearing weather, I broke out my TOMS shoes for the first real time of the season, and I got to visit with a family that I love as if I were an immediate family member. I always love being able to spend time with them and to catch up, so getting this extra visit in during my week in Virginia was a wonderful bonus! :)
One thing I love about going back home and hanging around NoVA during these school breaks is the freedom I have to sing. Just sing! Because we don't have neighbors or roommates to be mindful of, I take full advantage of the singing time! (Unless you count my sister whose room is between my room and the bathroom, meaning she really can't escape it!) The two places that I miss having easy vocal freedom while I'm gone is A) the shower (laugh all you want, but you know you love to sing in the shower too ;)) and B) the car. I've never been a fan of driving--now that I don't drive on an everyday basis I don't mind it when I have to, though I've always liked the convenience of it more than the actual act!--but on gorgeous spring and summer days like today when I can roll the windows down, turn the music up and enjoy some "me" time driving along the beautiful rural landscapes of northern Loudoun County on my way to visit one of my favorite families, I am a happy camper :)
Nothing really incredibly huge happened today, but the perfect combination of so many smaller things is what makes one very, very thankful girl!
Today, the familiarity of my favorite moments from the past and the simplicity of the joy caused by beautiful spring weather makes me happy :)
