Ohhhhhh what a weekend

Ever have one of those moments where you sit there and go, 'man I wish I could do that?' It usually pops up for me when I'm listening to friends who had a more adventurous life talk about things they've done in the past. I'll find myself sitting there vicariously living through their history, and wonder what it would take to have a story like that of my own.

This weekend, I earned my own story. And it was FAH-BU-LOUS!!!!!!! Friday was our 2 year anniversary. We didn't celebrate or make much fuss over our 1 year, for personal reasons, but I was determined to not let the same thing happen this year. A month ago, I reserved a spot at one of Point Mugu's camping sites, and spread the word. One night, BYOB, BYOF, help us celebrate. Sadly, most people either flaked, or declined. Which was alright by us, we were going to go even if it was just the two of us. Boyfriend's friend and his wife came though, and it made the night all the more entertaining.

We camped - like, tent, sleeping bags, stone fire pit camped - for a night, twenty feet from the ocean, under a clear night sky chock full of stars. It was gorgeous. Seventh heaven, all the way. We watched the sun set, lit a fire, played some rocking tunes, had yummy snacks and tons of alcohol. We did it up right, and it was everything I hoped it would be. Well...aside from the couple in the next campground over, who treated the entire beach to a three hour audio porn. But hey, what's a night under the stars without some people going at it? Heheheheheh.

I fell in love with camping this weekend. We've made the decision to go once every other month, at least. We're hoping to get a big group of people in, and do it up right. But I'm totally okay with just having the two of us, if it comes down to that. Either way, I can cross something off my list of things I wish I'd done, and I'll carry the memories of Friday night with me for ever. Now I have my own story to share, and what a story it is. I felt like I was seventeen again, finally getting a chance to do something freeing and exciting. For a night, I felt like a kid. It was spectacular. I highly, highly, highly recommend a night at the beach to anyone, and everyone. It does wonders for the soul.
