Day at the Beach

Justin got an internship  . . . I guess thats what you call it . . . with Clackamas County.  So his first day was today, getting that old 24 hour shift revved back into gear.  Thank you, Jesus, for the opportunities and favor!!  I’ll tell the story of how that fell into place sometime . . . someday.

But not now.

My elder sister, Kelli, and her son, Braxton, picked myself and my boys up, for a coast trip.  We crammed all of us into her snazzy sedan, our destination, Oregon Coast Aquarium.

We had gorgeous weather, 60 degrees + and sunshine, and happy tots.  We had an amazing time catching up, laughing . . . which is something we do a lot of when we’re together . . . and watching the boys all play together, times I cherish living a distance from her and my other sis and her son.

We then ended up on Nye Beach in Newport, I think we were still in Newport.  So very windy but still fun watching the boys play in the sand and climb the rocks.

We did get lots of photos, but on my sister’s camera . . . I’ll share some when I get them.

I was dreading spending today on my own . . . its been a long last few weeks with Justin so busy around mid-terms and starting up his paramedic intern thingy majig . . . and the thought of spending a weekend day without me hubby was not going over well . . . but, as always, God knows how much we can handle and our needs, wants and all the in between.  Not to make it a selfish thing but I felt really blessed today!

I’m looking forward to having Aidrik the end of this week . . . Thursday – to Saturday morning.  Thats my other nephew.  Should be fun and stuff!

I’m also thinking of my selfless mother moreso this weekend . . . my inspiration and model to motherhood!  So, Happy Mother’s Day, to those hard working and selfless women out there who keep on giving, even when we don’t feel like we can give another inch . . . by God’s grace we keep giving.
