a beautiful getaway

what i really needed to do today was go home and take a nap.

after yesterday's wedding, i worked all morning at the church (happy bday, abby!) and then i returned to the church later to run the (awesome!) evening service and then went to the store for a floorset until 12:30am, and then worked the whole next day at church. i know. absurd amounts of working. not okay.

so i should have taken the 4 hours off and slept. but i called jenni and said, "put on your bathing suit, we're going to the beach." and we did. we rode our bikes, grabbed sandwiches, layed on the sand, played in the ocean, got a little sun, and just chilled. it was fantastic. i wish i could say i wasn't thinking about work or what time it was, (i did), but still, it was a perfect mid-afternoon break amidst all the hustle.

a beautiful getaway, even if just for a few hours. and i sat on the sand with rooms, i didn't say it, but i thought, next weekend we'll be at forest home (a whole weekend off for me. i literally am a little scared that i won't know what to do with myself.) and what if she gets this outside sales job? it's down to her and 2 other people. it could really happen. and she'd move away from the beach. so i was glad i got her down to the seaside, just in case it was our last chance. and then i shook the thought out of my head.
