Virginia is for Lusters

Southwest is my new favorite airline.

Why?

Because their flight attendants say things like, "For those of you who listened to my safety instructions-thank you. And for those who didn't-good luck to you."

Not only do your checked bags fly FO FREE, but the pilot tells bad lawyer jokes (hope there weren't any on our flight!) and the crew sings Southwest-themed songs to the tune of "Zippity-do-da."
I also received TWO bags of peanuts for my return flight.

Southwest is not stingy; and for that, I thank you.

My reason for travel-by-plane this past weekend was to attend The Bigger Lights "hometown" show in Virginia, and to soak up a few extra husband hours before his hiatus away from home.

Hiatus. Hiatus. Hi. Ate. Us. What a weird word!

Northern Virginia, I really loved being in you; partly because you were where we honeymooned. You also have this magical, colonial quality that strikes me, but you are far too frigid.

The weekend was much too short, but the time was well-spent. While there was much popcorn-eating, champagne-drinking, pajama-wearing, spades-playing, show-watching, friend-visiting fun in that time, what really set this weekend apart was mine and Chris' eye-opening decision: open a dance studio.
Of course! How did we not see this all along? We're both well-versed in the art of dance and our business sense is miles ahead of any possible competition.

We figured Chris will teach tap and hip-hop, while I cover ballet and jazz. We affirmed this decision by demonstrating our techniques, respectfully, but failed to produce video evidence, so...you're out of luck.

Regrettably, even after our delightful time, I had to go back from whence I came. The party was over.

I get fairly emotional when Chris leaves home for tour or practice, but coming back home was a different level of woe.

I fancy myself an independent woman, considering (considering what, I don't know), but traveling back alone and arriving at home with no one inside (aside from Eve and Elle) to greet me, left my heart a little heavy.

Still, that won't ever stop me from making those trips.
