I finally had the chance to hit the beach this past Saturday, going to half moon bay as part of a joint beach trip between Canaan & MVCCC. Despite the wind and the cold, it was still good to spend time enjoying God's creations and to take advantage of the fact that we live by the coast. Seriously, it never ceases to amaze me to see just how much God has blessed me and to see how much I take for granted. But anyway, back to the beach - the sand castle contest was quite entertaining - see what the different groups came up with. Particularly gross was the barfing turtle; unfortunately my picture doesn't do justice to what it really looked like. I also finally had the chance to find Nemo. It was good - perhaps if I weren't so tired, I would have enjoyed it even more. For some reason, I don't have a very good track record with staying awake while watching movies.

I have an *extreme* dislike for our dishwasher. I think I've gotten at least 15 bruises on my shin from it. Make that 16. My shin hurts.

In light of father's day, I thought I should write some stuff about my dad. One of the attributes I admire in him the most is his generosity. That and his humility. Whenever people find out I'm his daughter, I always hear the same things: "your father is very generous." "you father is very humble." "your father is very nice, he helps us a lot." Seriously. I've heard it so many times. I know God has blessed my family financially, but I admire the fact that my dad, in turn, blesses others, whether it be with his resources, financially, or by some other means. And he does it so humbly, never asking for recognition, often doing so anonymously. I can only hope that one day I can learn to have a generous and humble heart like his. I'm still far from it. Still learning.
