The week before school began, we decided to get out of Dodge for one last hurrah and take a little trip to South Padre Island and pretend like we have no responsibilities for awhile...the beach is sweet like that. We went with some of Nolan's family which made it even more fun--Nolan's sister Naomi & her husband Kurt, and Nolan's sister Nichelle & her husband Jared and their chitlins. Sooo, I am a leetle late on posting this, but I feel like I am Stella and I am finally getting my groove back, so here goes...
Oh, and side note: we saw a lot more crack and goo than ever needed to be seen while there--and that was just from me!!! I will say this about the beach--I love that everyone embraces themselves and their own bodies. They have freed themselves from the shackles of their clothing and embrace their swimsuit-ed selves. At first, I was all self-conscious and covering up all the unsavory parts of my body. But after awhile, I realized that no one cares about my unsavory bits. And that is when the string bikini came out, people. You know it. Your welcome, South Padre!!! Ok, not really. But I did actually take off my swim skirt and that, my friends, is a good step for me. Well, I guess that depends on who you ask, but lets move on to the highlights...
