So the past few weeks I have had a major CRAVING for the beach. Maybe you don't know this about me but one of my top 5 favorite things ever is the lake, beach etc... I truly am obsessed. But I know life will go on and I will look forward to hopefully planning a trip next year whether it be Cali or Mexico. Well yesterday I was over at my inlaws swimming with Ryk, (which is as close to the beach as I get), and one of Shauns Aunts came over and was telling us how they bought a boat and went to the lake earlier that day. I would LIVE at the lake all summer if I could and I dream of owning a boat one day. But to make matters worse... she told us about the banana boat they have and how they were riding on that. If you have never been on a banana boat you are missing out!!!! SO MUCH FUN!!!
So as I drove home that is all I could think about. When I got home I told Shaun about one day going and doing this with our family. Shaun and I joke with each other all the time how we sacrificed alot to be married to each other. Shaun has a passion for movies..... I don't really care for most movies. I love the outdoors, camping, lake etc.. as we all know Shaun doesn't. But he told me that he hopes to be able to get us a boat one day and I asked him "Shaun would you even know how to drive one" but he assured me that he got his motor-boat merit badge as a boy scout so we are good to go!!! =)
This is another DREAM vacation... a houseboat at Lake Powell! Amazing!!!
* I'm not writing the post to whine or complain. I'm not trying to sound ungrateful for my life. I love my life, but we ALL have things we are passionate about and this is one of mine!! Yes I might get a little envious of those of you who are able to do this often but my day will come and their is nothing wrong with dreaming and having something to look forward to =)

I fully support your dreams.
Get a boat. please! I fully support you living at the lake. I will live with you!
Yes, the banana boat! Just splurge Leah, you deserve it!
And your dreams will come true! I guess I was wanting the beach and disneyland so bad too that I had to plan a trip for us. Hee hee By the way Shaun may not like the water and all that outdoorsy stuff but remember you have a sister in law that likes to do that stuff about as much as you do. :)
and to add to Missy's comment a cousin too. Although she is a thousand miles away. We have a boat and are planning a trip to Lake Powell so you should come meet us. We love living at the lake. Banana tubes are fun but every memory I have of them involve someone getting hurt. NOT me but someone on the banana. :)
When the Johnson's come down we'll have to meet up with them :)
Ok, I am starting to feel the shaft. I will be awaiting a call from you now to hang out!
Ok that's it!! After our girls trip we're going to the lake. I may not have a banana boat but a tube is just as good. So put your sunblock on and lather up the kiddies, let's go to the lake!!
