The perfect day, despite the bad weather

Today was a good day. It poured all day and we didn't do too much. But it was very relaxing. And it was just the two of us.
After slowly getting our acts together and getting out of the house, we ran a couple of errands to get Steven a new flash drive that was on sale (since the one he's been using for the past couple of years is now being held together by scotch tape), and a couple of things we needed for the house. There was a Star Wars marathon on TV Saturday night and all day today, and we stayed in watching most of the movies. The rain finally stopped so we went out to watch fireworks, stopped for ice cream, and came home to find our greyhound, Penny, hiding in the bathroom. Between the storms we had all day and the fireworks all night, she was terrified, and for some reason decided the best place to hide was in the upstairs bathroom between the litter box and the bathtub. We finally got her out just before there was another boom outside, which landed her right back into the bathroom. It took tons of coaxing to get her out again, and even more to get her outside for a walk. We then watched some more Star Wars. It was a quiet, relaxing day, and it was really nice.
Last year at this time, I think it saddened us a little bit when we saw families with young children watching fireworks together. But this year, there were a few times when saw a couple with a very young child in awe of the fireworks, and each time Steven and I just looked at each other and smiled, knowing that will be us next year. And it wasn't sad at all. It was happy and comforting.
