Stars in the sky

Andrew and I just got back from a romantic stroll on the beach. Ok, romantic is us huffing and puffing as we walk through the sand and as we walk through the dark, I throw my poor husband in front of me to defend me from any imaginary shadows that seem to follow us the entire way down the boardwalk. However, when we did get there, it was quite romantic. The stars in the sky, and there are a million that light up the sky, twinkle - welcome us to Florida...since it is our first complete day here. And, I can't say it was a busy one but enjoyable...for me at least. Andrew woke early and worked for the next 12 hours, trying to catch up for the hours he lost during our drive out here. I, however, spent the morning...relaxing and running a quick errand to the market to prepare for dinner since we were having Brittany and Brooke over after our evening photo shoot. I thought, if I make it now, Andrew can just throw it in the oven to cook so it's ready when we arrive home. And then, I had this terrible thought, what if he didn't know how to use an oven...I know for sure he hasn't used one during the 9 months we've been married. So, I casually reminded him to warm the oven before he put the dish in and then when it seemed warm (about 5-10 minutes or so) enough, put the casserole in. I had made Chicken Devane, a dish we had eaten at our friends', Tom and Sandra's, home last week, right before we left. Anyways, I think Andrew was equally as horrified that I thought he wasn't able, in any aspect, in the kitchen. So, of course, he was quite indignant in his response...don't worry, there was no fight nor tears but I left the house quickly to avoid one.
As far as myself, being that it was our first day here...I finally went to work - the whole reason we came. It wasn't all that busy but I did go on my first photo shoot with Brooke and Brittany. Brooke is really an amazing photographer - so calm and knowledgable. She puts all her clients at ease and shoots with tons of talent and capability. I am very impressed. Our family tonight was from Augusta, Georgia - as many of Brooke's clients are from the south. Her clients were kind and funny and the girls say most of the people are this way. This, I think, will be a wonderful summer job.
It seems ridiculous that now, we go to bed so early - between 9-10pm. But then, the 9-10pm is in the wrong time zone...now that we have moved from Pacific to Central time zones - it's really 11-12pm that we're going to sleep. Anyways...I hope my mom is proud that I now get up at 6am, even if we are...2 hours ahead.

Good night, my friends...
Sending you many goodnight kisses...from Florida.
