The perfect day...

Do you ever feel like you just need a good day, then magically you have one! I knew that Tuesday was my day off to get things done. I usually have two days off a week. They are usually Sunday, in which we don't do anything but Church and resting. Then one other day to do everything: laundry, shopping, meetings, and recreational activities. As you can see my day off is usually not a day off.

Since yesterday was Derek's first day back to school and Tuesdays are his long days this semester I decided to have a me day. I got up early and ran errands, picked up Derek from school then off to home. Once home I knew I had to do laundry so I decided to do laundry and then lay by the pool while it was washing and read a book I got for Christmas. It was magical, truly magical. I sat there with my iPod and my book and just relaxed! I don't know how long it has been since I have just relaxed. I loved every minute of my 80 minutes in this beautiful Arizona weather. This day has made me realize that sometimes you just have to take a timeout for you! Just a time to relax and reflect on life!

I loved everything about my day and when I was driving to pick up Derek later that day I looked at the sunset and felt for a second like I was in California and it just made my day that much better! I love Arizona, but can't wait to get home to California.
