Memories from Memorial Day

Every chance to spend time with the man of my dreams...its like a dream come true! Memorial day we didn't know what we were going to do. Mark took himself on a walk, a 7 mile walk. Came back exhausted and decided he wanted to go to the beach. Our friends, Aaron and Mandi, called to see what we were up to. So we went with them for their plans, and they joined us for dinner and the beach.

If you read our blog, you know we can't go to the beach without salivating over Campeche Bay! Which is why we went to the beach after joining the Jammes/Graden cookout. So we relaxed at the Graden's home for a while watching the kids play in the pool.

When we got to the beaches we went straight to eat dinner. That's all Mark could think about. To be honest, I was dreaming of those darn Campechangas! Because Jax beach was so crowded, we decided to drive down to Ponte Vedra. That wasn't much better. It was LOADED with people, dogs, a metal detector, horses and a HUGE kite that required the guy to wear a body suit/back brace thing just to control it. It was perfect weather for walking the beach.

Here's Mark walking ahead and Mandi and Aaron are right there with him...Aaron is almost completely blocked by the man walking his dog.
Here's Mark. Eyes closed and all...we'll have to try that one again.

Wait, his eyes appear to be closed again!

This was how beautiful it was on our way off the beach (picture monkies everywhere).
Aren't we lucky to be so close to such serenity?


This little guy couldn't keep his eyes open either! This is Aaron and Harris, their 3 month old.

Yes, this is a jersey. Now this isn't for a team. Mark doesn't like football, but he loves the Mac Tools Jersey. Just like Mandy Jarvis, Mark wears it any chance possible!
And what a romantic ending? Horses on the beach!

It was a fabulous day and I couldn't have been happier! Great day spent relaxing, enjoying the beauty around us and quality time together. Isn't that what life's all about anyway?

So does this mean we need to put "CUTE" on Mark's shirt too?

I wanted to talk to you at church today but didn't get the chance. Do you guys want to come over on Saturday for dinner and maybe some games? Stephanie and Mark H. are planning on coming. Maybe we could all bring a dish for dinner or something? You can email me: amanda.orrock at gmail.
