A Perfect Day

I believe that perfect days exist. I have experienced a few (yes, you can have more than one). Obviously my entire trip to Europe was one perfect day, but that's not the topic for today. 

April 30, 2016 The Perfect Day.

It all began waking up for a quick workout because, lets face it, I'm one of those strange people who wakes up early just to workout before a big day. And then of course comes the showering and getting ready. My hair decided to start off the day by being nice and doing what I wanted it to. Ladies, you all know how essential that is to a good start. And then...Tyler came. How can you not have a perfect day when Tyler is involved?

Tulips in April are pretty, but tulips at Thanksgiving Point during their Tulip Festival are stunning! Oh my stars alive they were so pretty! I think this is what Heaven will look like, because I was in Heaven there. And it was so much fun walking around attempting to take selfies. 

The perfection didn't end there, though. After lunch, we watched Tangled. Seriously, how can you not watch this before going and practically being in the movie? Then dinner and we were off for a magical adventure.

Holy Hannah, was the lantern fest ever amazing! Like seriously. A-MAZ-ING. Magical. Fairytale. Dream come true. Basically every descriptive word used for Disneyland could be used to describe this. And more. I don't think those words even do it justice. I think everyone should go at least once in their life. Preferably more because you can never have enough of it. 

The line was mega long, and it was pretty windy. Windy enough that they were considering not letting us do it. But by the time we lit our lanterns it was the perfect weather. We roasted marshmallows by the fire (we meaning Tyler and I because everyone else in our group was standing in a ridiculously long line for food) and talked. But let me tell you, that fire was a little dangerous. We had to race and put out embers that landed on the blanket and other stuff a couple times. But it was soo warm. 

The music, and laughter, and talking was great, but the greatest part came as it got dark. Every once in a while people would light a lantern and that was pretty cool. But getting to see all of them going up and continue going up when it was really dark was pure magic. Plain and simple, magic. In fact, that's probably the only way that comes even a little close to describing how amazing it was. It was like we were literally being a part of the Disney movie. There really are no words that accurately describe that. Being in awe doesn't even come close, and really I was in awe the whole time. And I'm eternally grateful that I got to spend that moment with Tyler; it was beyond perfect.

On a scale of finals to summer break, that day was definitely a Cinderella perfect day. Next year, go!  

We didn't take nearly enough pictures, but the ones we got were pretty darn good. This day will go in my journal, and my future children will never stop hearing about it. Ever. Just ask me about it and I will keep going for hours. You might have to duck tape my mouth shut to get me to stop talking about it.
