The Beach

Saturday night Tyler picked me up Saturday night and we embarked on our very first beach trip together. Excited as we were taking a trip together, I had the jitters the whole way there. Although some of those jitters may have been part because it was almost midnight, and I hadn't eaten anything since lunch that day. Sunday early we woke up and put on bathing suits and went straight to my haven. The beach.



As I looked out at the water and wondered how awesome my God is to have created all this, I looked to my right and saw another amazing thing God had created. Tyler. Sometimes I still can't believe how blessed I am to have someone to awesome in my life, and it's all because God put him there.

As time passed into the afternoon our stomachs grew more and more hungry. We decided to hop on our transportation for the next couple days, the golf cart, and ride back up the house and pick up some lunch with the rest of the Sigman clan. Kim, Gary and Tanner. We had some sandwiches and we were ready for our second wind of the day. Thank heavens Kim is a bum like I am and could sit out all day long. So we sat in our chairs in the water and talked the rest of the afternoon. (We talked for hours over the couple of days, it was fantastic).

We spent three days at the beach. Here are some of my favorite highlights.

1. The ride up there. Took about 3 and 1/2 hours to get there. The ride Tyler was so much fun, I always love spending time with him, just us two, singing and talking the whole way there.

2. The McDonalds after midnight that we were dying for.

3. Sitting in the beach chairs with our toes in the sand with Tyler for the first time was magnificent.

4. Diving under and jumping over waves over the course of the three days with Ty. Sometimes the undertow would take me away and Ty would have to hold me so I wouldn't get so far out.

5. Making Dinner with Kim.

6. Seafood with the family.

7. The really boring golf store that we spend over and hour in.

8. Beating Tyler and Tanner in putt putt.

9. Petting the sting rays with at Ripley's aquarium.

10. Laying on the beach at 11 pm watching the illegal fireworks being shot off.

The worst part of the week

1. Going home.

We woke up early this morning so we could get home. Tyler found a job and had to get back to work. We stopped a couple times. One at this awesome rest stop. Tyler was still in the bathroom, so I grabbed my Jagger (my Nikon) and headed down to the sweet little pond at the base of the rest area. Beautiful trees with sun shining through. Fish and turtles in the water. But little did I know, I was down there longer than I thought. I heard a yell and looked up behind me and Tyler was standing at the top of the hill. His arms opened and his eyes wide. I motioned for him to come down to where I was and see my little friends I had made.

As Tyler got closer I realized he wasn't looking forward to seeing my friends as much as he was to grabbing onto me. He grabbed me and I was so confused. But he just held me and said he had been looking for me for 10 minutes, he had even asked a little old lady to go in the bathroom and make sure I wasn't in there. I obviously scared him and never realized it. I felt terrible. I was only looking at a peaceful and calming pond with awesome wildlife while my boyfriend was frantically searching for me thinking the worst. I never realized how much he worries about me until today. It is so nice to be worried about. But I never meant that to happen.

I had such an amazing time at the beach, but now it is back to reality and back to work. I wish I could vacation all summer long!

Not very interesting, but just some thoughts on the week so far.

Before Work

I have to leave for work in about 25 minutes. I work at a sport bar and grill called Satisfaction. I enjoy working there. It's pretty laid back and friendly. I am supposed to head to the beach tonight with Tyler, and I am so ready to get out for a couple days and go to the beach and relax, even though there probably won't be much relaxing. I have cleaned the bathroom this morning and mowed the yard. Now I get to go to work. All I am going to think about while working is going to the beach. The beach is my safe haven. My favorite place on earth. I don't know what it is about the beach that just makes everything okay again. And then to be there with the love of my life knowing that for the next couple days nothing is going to go wrong is something I get antsy just thinking about. Sitting on the beach looking out at the horizon knowing that the God that I love and trust made that, and is big enough to fill the entire ocean full of awesome animals and the sand in between my toes comforts me so much. When I'm at the beach I feel closer to my God. I can do so much thinking there and really see what is important to me. The rush and hustle of the life back at home, the no stopping, the constant exhaustion I have from going and going stops when I'm at the beach. So for the next couple days I'm going to relax and let God speak to my heart. I can't wait.

My First Blog

So I have never really blogged before, sorry if it's not very good . Well, here goes nothing, or in this case, anything. A lot of people I know blog. They blog about anything and everything. People blog about music, movies, TV; people blog about what they like, what they don't like; people blog about photography, interviews, weather, trips, facebook, myspace (yes, I said myspace); people blog about cell phones, restaurants, shopping, cooking, cleaning, work, animals, famous people, and these are just the few things I can think off the top of my head. But I'm sure more will come to my head as I'm writing. Well, I'm trying to decide what to write about and I guess I'm wondering why I wanted to start writing a blog. I don't really have a diary, but I would like to. I just get caught up in my day that I forget to write in it. I'm on the computer a lot so I figured this would be an e-diary. Maybe not as personal just because you don't let everyone you know read your diary, but we'll see where this goes. But people have some very insightful things to write, and in my case, read, about. But I guess this first blog isn't very interesting, but I didn't really know what to write about. Once my life gets a little more interesting I will have more things to talk about! Can't wait to blog again. In the meantime, going to sleep, to wake up to another awesome day of heading to the beach with my awesome man Tyler for a couple days!
