yesterday held much excitement for our group of traveling friends. the entire day was almost dreamlike. we left the hustle and bustle of the portland streets and made our way to the dense woods. as we were driving through the mountains, shafts of light fell through the tall evergreen trees, which my eyes have missed dearly. we would drive and see some rain, then sun, then repeat.
when we got to where we would be staying there was a sense of excitement amongst the group as we all grew anxious to see the coast. for some of us (me) it would be there first time. we began to hike to the coast and as we came to the dunes jerad, evan, phil, and i could no longer contain ourselves. we ran up and down the dunes hooping and hollering as if we had just been set free after years of imprisonment. when we crested the last dune and our eyes saw the coast we all grew silent for a moment. we took in the immensity of the roaring ocean. then we continued with our childlike excitement.
that moment was wonderful though. that moment when we were feeding off of each other's excitement. the moment when the roaring monster took our breaths away. a moment i will propbably remember for the rest of my life.
thank You for:
a loving family
beautiful/caring friends
a place to rest my head

nate, I'm jealous I couldn't be there. I've always wanted to be there when people see the ocean for the first time. glad you're having a good time.
