The beach in February?

Yes, we are desperate people !!!! We were so over the cold weather and so excited that it was 75 degrees today that we went to the beach. No bathing suits yet. We are not that crazy. Despite the beach not being quite back to normal (still) since Katrina, it was just what we needed. Fresh air, the seagulls, the sound of the waves. I'm so grateful that Izzy loves the beach. She absolutely loves it. She doesn't complain that it's too windy. She doesn't care about sand between her toes like my other two. She's just so content on the beach.

When I was waiting for her I would often wonder if she would like the same things that I like. I would pray that she would. I started thinking that I was being a little too picky and asking too much of God. Like when you're pregnant you eventually quit praying for a girl or a boy and just end up saying Lord, please let he or she be healthy and we don't care about the rest. Well, I ended up there too with Izzy. I even gave up the time frame to Him, eventually and said ok, Lord please let her be healthy and of course Your timing is best.

Then I thought about it a little longer and my prayer became, Lord bring her home in Your time just let her be healthy and Lord, please let her love the beach......
