Swimming

We swam in the ocean the other day.  Sunday the 12th.

It was a lot of fun.  It was nice to get away from the heat that we have been feeling the past few weeks.  (temperatures have been in the 90s and 100s)

It was the first time I’ve swam in the ocean in probably well over 10 years.  I’ve walked the shores a lot of times.. with many different people but this time I was determined.  We finally went all in and swam around for hours until our hands were thoroughly wrinkled.

Everyone got in on the action, from my parents to Willie.  The shallow end is always a bit harsher and it was just as true this time as it was every other time.  Willie, my mom and Maryia would keep back in the shallow and many times were knocked over as if they were bowling pins and the ocean was yelling “strike” each time.  I eventually convinced everyone to come to the deep end.  We were once told by a lifeguard to keep close to the beach (even though we were still able to stand in the water).  I assume this is because of weaker swimmers that are thrill seekers and push the limits.

After we walked back to the car, we went to grab a bite to eat.  Willie was acting weird, and I don’t think he was feeling too well.  Without getting into much detail.. it kind of spoiled the evening as we kept making bathroom stops and I even ended up giving him my jeans to wear (I just wore my swimming trunks).  He is all better now.. I suppose he just ate something that did it to him.

I don’t like the term “swimming trunks” it sounds weird.  Board shorts sound better and truth be told I like them better because they are much longer (and I don’t like when shorts are above my knee).

In other news: we are both still job hunting.  If anyone would like to land us jobs (in our out of state) as wedding gifts, we would take it (and move to where the jobs are).  The funny thing?  You probably think I’m joking when I say that…

I’m not- I only wish I were.

The wedding is coming closer and closer.. each day brings new stresses that were previously unknown.

Hmm..

I’ve been burning all of Maryia’s CDs and I think I just misplaced one because I’m blogging.  I should go find out where it disappeared to..

Until next time
