Dear God...Thanks for SUN!

Today was the most beautiful day I've seen in a really long time.

Garrison and I got up and went to crossfit for a wod - lots of running which I actually didnt mind because it felt so darn good outside. I was in shorts and a tshirt at 10am on a Sunday in January. After we left the gym, we went to Dicks and bought a can of tennis balls. After two sets of tennis at my apartment complex we had each won a set: 6-2, 4-6. We sat in the rocking chairs at the pond and tried to get a sun tan. Working out, tennis and sun lounging of course demanded Menchi's yogurt...so we sat outside with 30 screaming kids and their parents and ate $10 worth of yogurt and toppings. YUM!! All of this sun (and a little sugar) has done something to my soul...I'm a firm believer in seasonal depression. Today was the day that I needed to drag myself out of my winter blues rut and remind me that life is too short to sit around waiting for something exciting to happen.

Now...here I sit on my patio - soaking up the last bit of amazing day with a glass of wine. Do I have patio furniture you ask, no. Did I bring my ottoman to my lounge chair onto the patio for some comfortable relaxation, yes. :) A little ghetto, but sitting inside alone tonight just didnt seem appropriate - especially considering Garrision and I checked the weather for next weekend. It's supposed to be 30 degrees and raining. Back to typical January weather...awesome.

Cheers to a taste of summer, a cleansing of the soul with some good ole' fashion warm weather lounging, and wearing shorts in January. Thanks God - I needed today.
