Things I will miss......

I will miss the beach and the ocean. There is truly no other feeling in the world that compares to the perfect blend of salty air and water, floating, tossing and bouncing in the waves, warming on the sand, basking in the sunshine, a mild sunburn, and some frosty caffeinated beverage to revive you. It is my favorite place and way to be, and I was blessed enough to spend my last Saturday in California with my family, swimming, kayaking, and basking.

I will miss my family. What else can I say? They're the best. At least I can call, email, facebook, blog in between our visits when I'm really missing them and wishing we were together. If only I could do that with the beach.


Post script: Today was a perfect "LAST CALIFORNIA DAY." It was amazing. But - now I'm sick with the cough Emma had and I've only had 2 hours of sleep and the movers come tomorrow and we have a going away party at church tonight. So - please pray for me because it's go time - and I'm completely out of gas.
