Back to the Beach

I'm leaving. Well in one year I am... haha. I am leaving Dallas and moving back to my birthplace, Galveston, TX next March. My mom and her birth father and I took a trip there this weekend and I was sitting on a deck at some little bar on the beach when it just hit me....

I need to be somewhere that makes my soul smile. 

I love Dallas, it's turned me in to the confident, strong, healthy woman that I am, but I feel myself being drawn somewhere else, I feel the need to move on. When my lease is up, I will have been in Dallas for 3 years; I feel it's time to make my mark somewhere else. 

I can't wait to get back to the beach.

Why do people think this beach sucks? I love it!

Perfect moment

Beautiful :)

So very happy here

Love this beach

Mom has a picture like this of me when I was 3-she wanted to re-create it.

Easter 1991 (this was taken on the same deck that you see in the pictures above, almost an exact 21 years later)

Me in 1995 (This was the same area of the beach I walked on yesterday)

Right where I belong :)
