If you couldn’t tell from today’s title, I am currently writing this blog from the beach. My sister and I got up at 5 o’clock this morning and drove a little over an hour to watch the sunrise. Unfortunately, we witnessed the sunrise in the rear view mirror while we were on the highway because I did not get ready as fast as I thought I would this morning. Regardless, we made it to the beach and have found quite a few shark teeth already! There’s not a ton of people here, and for most of the morning it was overcast so we didn’t have to worry too much about being scorched by the sun. It has been a very relaxing experience so far.
As I am laying here, I have been thinking about how grateful I am for the friendships in my life. I hung out with sweet Morgan last night and we searched for The Miracle at the softball game, only to find out he wasn’t playing and was hiding from us the whole time. My new friend Kayla and I have been brainstorming the concept of a “byob, byop” (bring your own bait, bring your own pole) fishing birthday party. Great in theory, but not great once I have a fish on a hook right in front of me and I’d rather die than touch it. I fear I’d panic and throw the whole fishing pole into the water and Kayla would have to dive in after it. Yesterday, I talked to my friend Dylan, who I text every 3-6 months to see how his life is going, and I am always met with an awesome response that brings me great joy. He’s been catching up on the blog and I am just grateful for the many ways to stay connected to the people I care about.
The sun is definitely out now so I am going to reapply some sunscreen and get back to enjoying this beautiful day. Hopefully we find a lot more teeth in the ocean. Wish us luck!
Stay blessed, Dawgs! ❤️
