Reader, today I sit here blogging to you naked. TMI? It's 3pm. The bed's undone. The dog's all kinds of lazy. The husband is humming worship songs. The cooler of crabs our neighbor gave us that we ate last night, still warms our bellies. The laughter from friendships & stories told from last night still fills my ears. The day ahead of me is a blank slate with every possibility. It's an awesome day.
You know what kind of day that is? A vacation day. Praise the Lord, Hallelujah. I don't even know what to do with myself, except stall a little longer from taking that shower, because you know what? I can! I've got nowhere to be. And it's nice.
Loves, I hope you have an awesome day! I hope it feels like a vacation sort of day.
Also, Say a little prayer for my sweet friend Linda, who is moving to Canada tomorrow to finish the last 3 years of high school... As you can imagine, she's all kinds of nerves and excitement!

I'll have Beach with Champagne, Please
If you have a beach near by,
I highly recommend that you take a picnic,
champagne included,
like stat.
It was probably one of the better ideas I've had in a while.
& surprise Zachary with a relaxing afternoon!
And what do you know?!
That plan worked out perfectly!
Bag packed for the surprise!
*instagram pic-So I can't make it any bigger without it getting grainy. Boo!*
Don't you love when those awesome moments you envision come true!?
So thankful!
The Lord knew we needed some rest.
My bag packed full of all the surprises! :)
We found an amazing, some what quiet spot, away from the crowds,
to lay our blanket down & enjoy the evening.
I packed all our faves, which happen to go perfectly with champagne!
Tomatoes, green and black olives, apples and peanut butter, crackers and cheese, blue berries and Ritter Chocolate. Yum!
Our ocean view.
Some neon green sea weed.
Our evening was so nice, you guys!
The time slowed down, conversations was rich,
the weather was perfect,
it was so peaceful, and rest for my body and soul.
We are hoping to make this a bi-weekly summer ritual!
After our beach picnic,
I had another surprise for Zachary!
But you'll have to wait to hear about that in a later post!
Hint: It was oh, so relaxing, and topped off the evening perfectly. :)
It also involved a giant bath tub.
Readers,
Get your lover, your BFF, your mother, your cat,
whom ever you have near by you,
pack some champagne & some treats,
and go have a picnic.
Preferably near bodies of water, or other equally beautiful,
equally peaceful scenes.
Enjoy it, Rest & Be Still.
