~:[CH5 - Day 45]: ~ With All Your Heart
Today was quite the day. Yes, it was Valentine's Day, but like most, it wasn't a day for me plus one, unless you count Apple Jack. I never have really minded. My friends Erika and Will swung by the Hilton and it's always great having a conversation with them. I love the fact that they always make it work even when it may not be the most convenient! It's always nice to see you two! We headed into awards and knew it would be a tough one with such a great spread of schools attending. With conferences bookended this one, it made it hard to focus on it, but they did well in committee and I was definitely proud of them even before the award ceremony. One of my delegates had a streak of commendations and she finally broke it with an outstanding! It was definitely the highlight of the morning, but we had a lot in store on the day. After venturing to Union Market and enjoying the wonderful foods it had to offer, we headed back to the Washington Monument. In the process, my phone died and we lost our Uber. We eventually got one and arrived at the monument. At the site, we shot our "I'm Just a Bill" video along with having our photo shoot there as well. We also stopped at the World War Memorial and the Lincoln Memorial before heading back. We ended up picking up Pizzeria Paradiso and having everyone eat in. Along with some garlic chicken, strawberry chicken and veggies, we had a feast on our hands! We ate it all as we saw the start of the all-star game but that soon became a distant memory as Sunny came and mesmerized them all with her wonderful singing voice and even got a few of them to sing as well. It was definitely a fun night with flowers, cards, and candy. I even got a thoughtful gift - a Disclosure record! I was so touched and impressed and it continued to be a group I enjoyed working with. How did the night end? With some beautiful snow coming down. The conference, the performances, and of course Valentines, allowed us to truly enjoy the day with all of our heart.
