I have to tell you that I've had a string of pretty pleasant ones lately. This is mainly because of two things: hanging out with good friends, and fun in the sun. I love to be outside in the sun in the Florida summer. Call me crazy.
This past weekend, my sister's church was having a beach day at St. George Island. She invited me to come! This is a big deal because my sister never asks me to do anything. With her. And her friends. And let's be honest, I very rarely do things with people I don't know. But I've been missing the beach and yearning to do things outside my comfort zone (weird?), so off we went.
Highlights of the day:
1. Feeling like a college kid again, riding in the car with a bunch of college kids (holler out the window, etc)
2. Seeing a new cute boy for my sister to like, instead of the not-so-nice one who just moved away.
3. We SURFED. I. Am so proud. Of myself. I had never been surfing before, but since a bunch of her church friends had multiple surfboards, I got to learn! And let me tell you, I "caught" every wave I tried, and stood up for what I believe to be a respectable amount of time. Even long enough on the last one to strike some victorious and cool surfer poses. Thank you.
Bittersweet: this was my first trip to a beach since my return from Hawaii. I discovered that I truly will never be the same. How can it ever get better than this?:
Too bad I don't have any pictures of surfing. Good story, huh? And then I found five dollars.

You found 5 dollars? Lucky. (to be spoken in Napoleon Dynamite voice)
Oh yeah, glad you had fun at the beach. I was sidetracked by the 5 dollar discovery.
Finding hidden money is so cool.
