today was one of those typical cloudy, cold, dreary rainy kind of days.
however, its all about perspective...
the day started out kind of warm with the sun peaking through the clouds, I knew it wouldn't last long though. I got in my car and laying on the passenger seat was a pink rose. Surprise! Now there is a little story behind how this flower got in there. On sunday after I got home from vacation in Florida I hung out with Wes. For those of you who know don't know... Wes and I r dating. So we got dinner and went back to his house. He took me home later that night and I realized I left my keys at his house. Luckily, I had a spare key at home. So last night he came over to hang out and brought my keys along. Sneaky little Wes put the flower in there before he told me he was at me house. So surprise, there it was this morning. Fabulous way to start out my day. He's so sweet :)
so anyways, I headed over to babysit Aiden like every other thursday morning. A few minutes after Dana (Aiden's mom) left, she came back in the house with this face like "oh my gosh". She accidentally hit my car pulling out of the driveway. Not a big deal, a few scratches on both our bumpers. Life goes on, its not the first time my little civic has been scratched up. And so the morning continued. Aiden and I hung out for a little then headed over to Paul and Hank's house. The boys and I were outside playing baseball and tossing around a football. Clouds filled the sky rather quickly and it began to rain. No one wanted to go inside, so we put hoods up and played in the rain. The boys loved it!
Around 3:30 it was time for me to head to class. Now driving in the rain is not one of my favorite things... but today I really enjoyed it. Yesterday, I parked under a tree and no joke had like 10 drops of poop on my car. It was everywhere and totally gross. Today the rain washed away the bird poop. My car is clean once again. I got to school and sat in my car waiting for the rain to slow a little before I walked to class. I put my backpack on, my hood up and started walking. My shoes were getting wet, the wind was blowing and I was getting hit in the face with raindrops. I put my head down and next to the sidewalk were these beautiful, bright yellow flowers, I think they were daffodils. After that I didn't mind walking in the rain so much.
Who says rainy days have to be bad?
i had a great day.
