Who needs dreams with a life like this...

Wonderful and fairly eventful trip to the beach to visit David for his birthday. I was actually more surprised than he was! He and J and I all had a lot of fun (well actually I can't say with 100% surity that that is really true of anyone but me) and spent time at the laundramat and the tent inside CVS, just to name a couple places. The guy in the CVS was so happy for us to amuse him with our crazy tent picnic antics. He does not love his job. We had bought Hershey's Cookies and Cream milkshakes (which were good but made my stomach hurt b/c I think I am becoming lactose intolerant) and drank them inside a tent set up at the front of the CVS. We took photos and acted silly. It was quite amusing.

I finally saw IQ and Mystery Men, which I liked a lot but in different ways. Apparently I am somewhat like Meg Ryan's character. I ate pizza, nutty bars, crab legs (MMMM!), McDonald's, Peanut Butter Bars, and drank much tea:) David and I also climbed the Currituck lighthouse and persued some old rich socialite's private island which is now a state owned historical site (with some great trees!). Crazy rich people....actually made the island themselves and they owned land from sound to ocean for 4.5 miles. Crazy!

I love the beach! Walking on the beach, looking at it from the top of the lighthouse, and watching the sun set over the sound were all wonderful in different ways. God made the world so breath-taking and I praise Him every time I get to enjoy it. Something about water makes a sunset even more beautiful. I feel like God is painting a picture just for me to say "Lisa, I love you." I don't always get the message but that is what I think:)

Also:

• I helped David forge the internet frontier (not that he needed help but everyone needs an opinionated, intense side kick sometimes right)
• I listened to the most fun and cheery song ever played on a commercial
• J is quite the ganster, watch out!
• it's not fun to get woken up after 3 hrs of sleep but:
• it's a small price to pay for a free hotel room (hopefully I wasn't an inconvienience)
  
• it's somewhat my own fault
• I generally hate leaving and saying goodbye to people, sometimes it makes me feel sick:(
• How do you feel about Florida friends?
• I got flowers:)
• laundry can be fun
• there is never enough time for some things
  
• my brother is doing better, although still no stitches
• my life is crazy
• king crab legs are the best
  
• bulleting your thoughts can be both rewarding and fun

It took me 4.75 hours to get home because I actually didn't have directions and I was trying, unsucessfully, to just back track the way I came. It worked out well after I got to 158 going the right direction sucessfully.

I wish I lived on top of a lighthouse. For real.
