Life’s A Beach | My Happy Place

20160624-IMG_6753-WM My Happy Place… It truly is our home away from home. The place where no matter the family or friends who show up, everyone is welcome. Where many weekends are filled with a lot of laughs and love and upstairs feels like one giant bedroom. A beach filled with chairs and beach toys – many of which passed down through the years. Memories are being made with everyone of all ages. 20160625-IMG_6756-WM

These two. So individual yet so very similar. I love that we are sharing with them my childhood summers. Many of their early years feel like a blur to me. A whirlwind of events from infertility to pregnancy to a scary first birth experience to a surprise pregnancy and two under 18mths old. I cannot believe these two are the ages they are. Its been a lot of long nights, feelings of inadequacy, tears of joy and sorrow, worry, financial stress, changes, blessings and growth.

There is going to be much more time to make more memories. More sunsets, more beach fun, more water and boating, more of living and loving life.

This life we are creating together, it certainly hasn’t been easy. We’ve strengthened through more struggles than most. Committed to each other, committed to our vows… Each day a new adventure, each other our rock of reasoning, feeling very blessed and so very grateful.This life we have is freaking beautiful and each day it is blossoming even more!

Being out on the water,  I truly did not know how much I missed until I was out there. Its so refreshing and renewing. Completely at peace and relaxed. Sitting back and taking in the wee squeals of joy, laughter and splashing of the waves.

A song that has been stuck in my mind for well over a week…
“All you need is love… ”
Its true – all this world needs is love ❤

Life’s a beach… now get out there and explore!
