Beaches

I grew up going to the beach often, particularly this one:

As a result, I love being on the beach. I love the feel of the sand between my toes. I love hearing the waves crash. I find it very peaceful just watching the water roll in and out over and over again.

But, since living in Utah I have not been to the beach too often. I was thinking the other day how I have been to a beach once or twice each year since being here. I feel really lucky that I have been able to take these trips (because I know lots of people living here who haven't seen an ocean in years) and I am especially lucky to have a husband who takes me to the beach.

This summer I am going to be heavily pregnant so no beaches this year, which I am ok with. But, I look forward to future years of discovering other beaches with Rob...and hopefully some will be in the Caribbean.
