well, last week i went to the beach with BJB's family.  it was nice.  friday, we left at 11am and got there at about 2...maybe 3pm.  as soon as we unloaded everything in the condo, BJB and i went for a walk on the beach while his parents went to the grocery store.  when they got back, we went to dinner.  it was good shrimp, but soo much that i couldn't eat it all, lol.  then, we went back out onto the beach and fell sleep on the couch.  i woke up early cause BJB's bro's gf whom i was sharing a room had the fan on high.  it was freezing! so i went out on the balcony until BJB woke up...THREE HOURS later! 

to avoid alot of needless detail, i'll just summarize by saying that everyday we did something new and different.  we went to the USS Alabama, the Exploreum, the Naval Air Museum, and the boardwalk, along with shopping and looking at antiques.  BJB caught a snail and a crab on the beach.  we went mini-golfing with his family two nights and i got 2 holes-in-one!  i felt like a part of the family and not a spectator.  it was very nice...but i did miss my family.  i got to spend 4 full days with BJB and i learned that he may not be completely perfect, but he cares as much for me as i care for him.  he was soooo sweet to me the entire time.  all i can say is...it was FANTASTIC!!!!!
