New Years 2011

We had a fabulous time at the Oregon Coast. Although I have been there many many times I have never been in the middle of winter. It was sunny and clear and the coast was as amazing to see in the winter as it is in the summer. We may have had to dress a little warmer but it was worth it. There were still lots of people walking and riding their bikes, walking their dogs and children, sight seeing and enjoying time together.

We stayed in a little condo on the beach and it was comfortable and warm. What a relaxing time.

Every morning I opened the blinds to see the sun shining brightly on the water. Waves crashing onto the shore. At night we saw the most spectacular sunsets as the glow of the bright orange sun lingered on the horizon.

We celebrated 7 years together and talked about our future as we shared new goals and dreams together. It's good to go away and just spend time with each other without outside distractions.

As the door to the closet opens wider and wider in my world I am thinking of just bursting it wide open on FB. I am pretty sure of the reaction of some of my former Bible College/Church friends from Hawaii and expect that many of them will unfriend me. Some may write to me to preach and tell me to turn from my wicked ways. There may be those who will accept me as the friend they've always known and loved and who cares about my sexuality? I don't care about theirs.....but that's a whole other story.

Here's to 2011..........a new year. Living life out loud.
