I will be glad when I get home and join the choir, and go back to school, and start living my regular life again. I'm really enjoying my vacation here, though.
Yesterday we went to the beach! I love the beach so much. I love it best when I'm on vacation at the beach, when I can go swim in the ocean and then go straight from the ocean to a pool, and wash all the sticky saltwater and sand away. When I can take as many trips back and forth to the beach as I like, and can go once for being wet, and once for being dry. I hate being wet and sitting in sand, so I love it when I can take my thoughtful trip separately from my swimming trip. I love it when I can go and walk on the beach for a good solid hour and just admire the waves crashing in, and remember how those waves have been crashing in for as long as the world has been. When I can watch the sun setting on the horizon, casting beautiful shades of pink and orange over me and the world around me. When I can sit on the sand and listen to the water, and the birds, and the wind in the trees. I love breathing in the wonderful, salty air. The only place that I like half so much as the ocean is the mountains, and there is one part of it that I like better - not so much sand. =P
Yesterday we all got ...well, a lot of sun. What's funny though, is my sunburn isn't very bad, and I only used suntan oil. SPF 8. The girls and Caiti used like, SPF 30, and they are crispy red! Aunt Cindy didn't use anything, and she was in the shade the whole time, but she still got burnt some.
I have "sunglasses eyes", however, because I forgot, totally and completely, to put anything on my face, and so I am very burnt on my face, except for where my 100 percent UV protection sunglasses were. haha! Very comical. I shall have to take a picture.
I've been reading a lot lately, on top of my Bible reading I'm reading David Copperfield. It's good, but I always have a hard time reading through Dickens, even though I love his stories. It would be much better on tape.
I really, really hope that next year I can volunteer at Camp Sunrise. After VBS I really want to do something else with kids. :)

I'm SO glad you were able to go to the beach! Glad you had fun. ;)
Great post!
Sounds like fun. We are going to Florida this January for my aunts wedding (Lord willing, and if we have the money). We can't wait!!! I am going to make sure I get a nice tan to show my friends. As you saw in my pictures, us Minnesotans don't get much sun in the winter! Thanks for visiting my blog. Ttyl
In Christ,
Olivia
