It’s been a really hectic time for me as I mentioned in past posts, so I only am posting the comment portion for this week’s Twilight Tuesday for the moment. I will have the project portion up soon (I hope!). This week’s challenge is from Jen. Here’s her Comment Challenge:
Do you have a favorite summer adventure of your own? I want to hear about it!It could be from your childhood or currently.Do you have any exciting things planned for THIS summer?I’d love to hear about those too!
So here’s my story. It was the Summer of 2000. Actually it started about 2 weeks before summer actually began… June 14th to be exact! It was such a special time… Gene and I had just gotten together. Every Thursday, was “our day,” and we would go to the beach. Not to be among the masses and tan, but to a more private beach to just be together. We would also go to Starbucks (which I am SO craving right now… and I haven’t had it in, well, YEARS!). We would just be together. It was lovely. That was one of the most important times (and most wonderful) of our relationship in my opinion. This was the time that we learned about each other. We bared our souls to each other and discovered that we were meant to be together forever. We talked so much… there was always so much to say… we held hands…we kissed… it was pure magic. Every year, at this time, I think back to that very special Summer and wish we had time to go back to the beach (alone) and back to Starbucks (alone) and revisit all of those wonderful memories that are locked up in my heart. We’ll get to go back sometime… Just don’t know when (cause sometimes it’s just hard to get a babysitter!). But sometime soon I hope. I think that as the years go by, and things change/happen (kids for example), it’s important to revisit the things that originally got people together or helped with the process of falling in love. So, a visit to the beach would be lovely, for so many reasons.
I’d just like to say, that I’d really like to copy/paste the links to the other ladies projects, but I’ve got no idea how. I tired it this morning… but to no avail. I’ll have to ask one of the girls at TTIC… so for now, just go to www.twilighttuesday.com and check out all of the other wonderful projects!!! And hey… maybe you could participate too!
