Stars!!!

Today was our first day at the beach! It was lovely. We arrived after 1am... this morning/last night. 

When we got here, I was reeeeally excited. The hyper excitement started when we were close to our house. We drove by the other beach houses and finally reached ours. It's fun being in a new house with friends or family for basically a whole week.

I thought there would probably be a couple people who hadn't turned in for bed yet. But it turned out that all but a few were awake! Some were even in the pool. Thus I didn't end up going to sleep until... well, let's just say, REALLY late. 

But before I slept, I saw the stars!!! Oh, how I love them! I love stars. Love, love, love. And in my memory, I've never seen them shine like the way they shine here. When there are no clouds you can see shooting stars and the Milky Way. It's crazy. I love the stars because they're so beautiful and bright and they go on and on, growing seemingly smaller as they go. They twinkle, shine, and sometimes shoot. And when I look at them, I'm almost immediately reminded of how big God is, and how incredibly tiny I am. And what a Creator He is. Stars are breathtaking. I suppose people are struck into awe by different aspects of God's creation. For me, a big one is the sky. Particularly these stars. How amazing they are :) :) :)
