Hello All!

Today, I am in a very good mood.  It's such a good mood I wanted to share it with all of you.  Why am I in such a good mood?

I HAVE NO IDEA!

Yes, today has been a good day.  Yes, everything seems to be going my way (except I can't slow time).  Still, though, I've had days like today and they haven't been extraordinary.  Today, though, today makes me happy.  Chances are it's the heat.

I've always said I thrive in heat.  While others complain about how they're melting, I'll complain right along.  In reality, though, I'm thinking, "Sweat!  It's warm enough for me to sweat!!!  It's warm enough to swim!  It's super hot and we might get a super-awesome thunderstorm (if we're lucky)."  Yes, I know I'm crazy.  And yes, there are days where I just feel it's hot and I want nothing to do with it.  The truth is, though, I really love the heat.  I love the idea of warm weather and sunshine and days lounging by the pool.  I love the thought of taking Cody to the river or beach and jumping in the water with him.  It's just so much fun!

While I've always loved the summer, I think my love took an extreme after my extended stay in MN.  Unfortunately, most of my 4 years in MN was spent during the winter.  I came home during the summer.  Therefore, not only was I escaping the bitter cold during summer, I was also returning home.  Summer is good for me.

Now, how do I convince Hans to like the summer this much?
