Feels Like Summer.

It's been two years now. Hard to believe it's been so long.

I jumped in the car with an enthusiastic "Hi cat!" and we were on our way. I love the long, winding drive to the beach-- forest green around us, screaming to music on the radio, looking at each other with rays of sunlight bouncing all around us. The perfect end to a great break-- browsing through an antique fair, throwing our heads back with laughter and talking about the future. Wandering around aimlessly, with nothing to buy and nowhere to go. Driving to the ocean on a whim-- we can just do that, you know. We set up our picnic. The feeling of sand in between my toes, the gentle sun warming us up, casual bites of cookies and sandwiches and baked concoctions. The silence, the sound of the waves, reading the book you gave me to brighten up our days.
These are the days I want to remember-- the long drives, the casual meals, the carefree ease when we're together. The days when we throw our heads back in laughter, when we cuddle and, for a moment, everything is all right.

Thank you for today-- for a brief respite from the world of work and worry. And thank you for the past two years-- and all the days we've had like these.
