Saturday I finally got my perfect day at the beach. I put my new bathing suit on and covered my white self with sunscreen and set out for a few hours of pure bliss. When I was “chubby”, the few times that I ventured out to the beach, I would look for the largest women wearing the most unpleasant swim attire and plop down close to them. I always figured they made me look a little better. This time, I saw the large women and then I saw the skinny girls in their little bikinis. I stood there for a moment and thought I can so set up right next to those skinny chicks. No I was not wearing a skimpy bikini and probably didn’t look as hot as them but I felt like I was on top of the world! I felt extremely confident and I think every now and then a smile would just creep up on my face. The weather was perfect and I didn’t even bring my ipod. I brought a really boring book and a couple of magazines. The sounds were amazing. It was a little crowded but not overly crowded and the kids were playing and few groups throwing Frisbee. I was reminded just how much I love the beach! When I was high school I was a total beach girl. In fact, my friend Ericka and I skipped school a lot during our senior year and hung out at the beach. But once I gained weight, I lost my desire to go to the beach because of the whole bathing suit issue. Well, that fear is gone and next time Ericka is in town I won’t have to make up excuses to avoid the beach. I will go with my new found confidence!
Anyways, now that I have made you all jealous of my beach adventure, I will stop blabbing. But you should all expect me to be nicely tanned by the end of the summer! And just so you know, I think the next guy that I date will definitely have to like the beach! Wouldn’t that be a fun date? I sure think so!

I cannot tell you how jealous I am of your close proximity to the beach. Sunday afternoon was so pretty that I went outside, put a blanket in the grass, and “laid out” (in shorts and a tank top, mind you…don’t want to get Jake kicked out of seminary). Although the sun was glorious and there was a nice breeze, it just wasn’t the same as being surrounded by all that sand and listening to the waves, and…oh…I wish I was there right now.
I know, I wish you could have been there…I feel very lucky to be so close to the beach! How did I stay away from it for so long? Maybe you should try to lay out at the Lake Front. Maybe that will be a little closer to the “beach” feeling:)
