Vacation.

I have never had a reason to enjoy a vacation...or a reason to want one, as a matter of fact.

but with summer here, longer days, and now not a single care that could distort life's current perfections....

 what isn't there to enjoy?

Oh- and I suppose one...not so minor detail, that I have missed...is being able to spend summer with the woman i love.

Since Valerie and I are meeting with her parents this evening to break the news of the engagement, to keep us- well, more importantly, to keep V, occupied, i decided to take her down to providence for the day to visit my father and to take him back to Boston with us this evening. but not only that, i wanted to take here for a day trip to the beach...something i know she adores

so that sun was beating down that morning in Barrington Beach, we were in the water and V slicked her hair back and laughed

 "You are so mean!"

i smiled and said "i'm being honest. I thought the only thing you feared are spiders..."

"i have no fear, thank you very much. I become merely uncomfortable. but look at me now! impressed?" she smiled as she turned around in the waves

"very. you're a born natural. in the shallow. still, its not going to stop me from doing this-"

just as she settled down in the water, i leaned forwards and pulled her into my arms and she laughed, her hair gliding behind her as i dipped her back towards the waters surface

she looked up to me with her smile and said "no fair..."

"on the contrary, very, very fair..."

she giggled and i chuckled, pressing my lips to hers softly as i tightened my arms about her waist

"mmm...i love this....you being so happy. us being able to go or do what we like..." she smiled

"me too. and as for being so happy...i think that has something to do with spending my time with the future Mrs Valerie Ramsey"

"oh my goodness that has , perfect ring to it...." she leaned up
