life

i love how my personal life, my work life and my family life all blend together. it may seem odd to some but to me, i relish in it. i love it. i'm not exactly sure why either. but i do. maybe it's because i never experienced family growing up. or maybe it's simply because i'm extroverted. who knows. but i don't know how i'd live without those worlds touching each other.

my second to the youngest sister came to hang out with me at a summer festival event today. that made me so happy. she's quirky. and she knows it. she likes to try and embarrass me. and she usually does. but i love that she came. she got to meet people in my world. that made me happy. so my second to the youngest sis, if you're reading this, know that you made me very happy today. and just for good measure, thanks for sharing your tentative, new-found perspective on the "mom" thing with me. i hope it sticks. ;-)

this was for you girl. i love you.

beach

beach06
so first. we went to the beach the week before last. just nate and i. it was awesome! the weather was perfect the entire time! here are some pics to prove it.

again, i can't say enough about how much i love the northwest.beach06we ate crab, walked on the beach, walked around cannon beach. we just did touristy things. there is this awesome glass shop too that we love to go to. they make glass bowls, vases, etc. right there in the shop so everyone can see the process. it's pretty neat. get's a little hot in there sometimes though.
beach06i'm at a loss for words on what else we did cause other than what i listed above, we simply did nothing. literally. most of the time we just sat in the house we rented reading books. ahhhh, it was awesome. peace and quiet. sitting and reading for however long we wanted. undisturbed. it was great.

stayed tuned for my thoughts/reflections on the book i started and finished in those two days at the beach. Redeeming Love by Francine Rivers.
