Moon-Date

    Went to the beach with my friends today, first taking a walk along the wet, salty strands.
Pregnancy, future plans, funny writings in the sand and dares were tossed back and forth, as we chuckled and chatted, our feet bare and cold.
    

    "Oy with the poodles already" was written into the hard sands by my toe. The other girls were writing "To live is Christ and to die is gain."

    It felt like the eve of summer and we all had hearts full of a holiday-like cheer.
To be honest, I felt rather magical and poetic at the same time. :)

   And then we got Buffalo Wing pizza and another one with pesto.
On the bedside table sat two gigantic oatmeal raisin cookies, just waiting anxiously for dessert time.
Everything was delicious and made me dream of vacations.

   But the best part of the night was when we went out onto the beach again, and the tides were higher, racing towards us eagerly.
The sky was dark, but the moon shone incredibly bright and reflected on the water perfectly.

    Bekah thought of Breaking Dawn Part 1, but that didn't detract from the magic.
Neither did the moment when she suddenly ran up and slapped me on the butt, though that almost did.
[Just kidding, Rafkah.]

    So us girls had our Moon-Date. In fact, it was the perfect romantic setting, only the tide came rushing towards us, till we were forced to retreat off the beach.
It was beautiful while it lasted.

    I think everyone should have a moon-date at some point.
