It is the last night here in North Carolina. I so don't want to go back to work! It has been a good trip. Only two days were rained out. I really love the beach..and each time I go to visit I am reminded of this. I need to live at the beach at some point in my life I am begging to think. I love the sound..I love the water..I love the sun. And of course it is a photography's paradise. What about San Diego? O.k. I saw a workshop is going to be there in one of my photography magazines so I am fixated on it for awhile.:-) I am such a kid when it comes to the ocean though. It takes forever to get me out in the water because I am a bit creeped out by the shells, etc on my feet. I fear that a creature of the sea of some sort is going to bite or grab me. However, once I get out in the water I am grand..and enjoy it. I love jumping into the waves. Although I prefer to not see the fish around me because again it creeps me out. And even though I have been to the beach numerous times, it wasn't until this trip that I came face to face with crabs..they are strange little creatures as well.

The only downfall of the trip was the human eating blood sucking flies. I am not exaggerating..ok a little bit..but they were vicious. I saw the blood on Sarah's arm from the an attack. I would have to lather in sunscreen then cover in bug spray..yucky I know..but it wasn't like they were just flying around..they would bite and it hurt. The amount of flies and nats were insane. I still managed to enjoy the beach though. And for once I tanned and didn't burn!:-)

I took multiple walks on the beach and had some deep thoughts with Jessica moments. I tell you that I worry with each passing day that I am never going to get married. I want to..don't get me wrong..but I worry that I am not going to meet someone..or maybe I am not meant to. I totally think that I will make a good mother..but now I don't know about the wife part. I guess for the right person I will be...I hope I will. I did alot of thinking of what I am looking for now..and how that differs as each year passes. I won't go into..as I am tired..however I will give my new list soon (as I am certain you will all be waiting anxiously:-). Anyways, good trip..relaxing trip. Oak Island is very nice and a place I would definitely return.
