I traveled to Seattle, Washington with my roommate at the end of Christmas break and I never did put up some of the pictures. The trip was made on a complete whim. We bummed around the city, saw the space needle, frequented some really great restaurants and went to a concert. The most fun I had however was taking an entire day to drive down to the the ocean.
The ocean... Wow! everytime I see it, it is the most amazing thing ever. It awakens the inner child within me. I woke up early that day so we could get a good days worth at the ocean since it would take a 3 hour drive to get there from Seattle.
We ended up at this quaint ocean town called Seaside. Once there we stopped and ate at a seafood restaurant. I had a tasty medley of fresh prawns, oysters, clams, and crab legs. After that it was time to go the the beach.
It was long and sandy and the ocean waves were crashing in. Outside a bright blue sunny sky welcomed us to a warm 38 degrees with no breeze. It was gorgeous. The smell. the sounds, it was honestly perfect.
Now you might be saying 38 degrees! That's freezing! but compared to the weather here in Wyoming that was warm. I kicked off my shoes rolled up my pant legs, sank my toes into real beach sand and ran into the frigid water. WHOO HOO!
I sat there on the beach for almost 3 hours just watching the people walking by. Taking so many pictures. I just kept saying to myself I am really here.
The beach was great.
Walking along the beach I discovered a huge tree stump. It was out in the open, in the middle of the beach. Isn't this the coolest thing ever?

these are beautiful photos. I'm sorry to hear about the problems with your relationships. You did the right thing by being honest, you know. Time has a way of sorting things out.
you know the **complete** prayer, right?
Serenity Prayer
God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
the courage to change the things I can;
and the wisdom to know the difference.
Living one day at a time;
Enjoying one moment at a time;
Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace;
Taking, as He did, this sinful world
as it is, not as I would have it;
Trusting that He will make all things right
if I surrender to His Will;
That I may be reasonably happy in this life
and supremely happy with Him
Forever in the next.
Amen.
