Does it make me a big nerd if I can think of my top 5 (well actually 4 most perfect) absolute favorite starry nights? I really do have a top 4 and each of those nights was just amazing! It is annoying being in a place where there are not as many beautiful bright stars in sight. As I look back on those top 4 nights and I know that God loves me. Not that the stars are just for me specifically but I feel a connection to Him. I love being able to look at something so wonderful and know that He is almighty and knows me personally. At those times I wish I could take pictures so that the sight would last forever but I know that no matter how great the camera is, justice would not be done for the amazing scene.
Not only am I able to experience those moments but I have those times to look back on as a reminder. I can remember those instances very clearly and can feel Gods love in simple things. Sometimes I forget this but then I see something which acts as a reminder. It may just be one star in the sky to remind me of the millions I have seen on those special nights, or it may be a quiet place under a tree which reminds me of sitting in the forest up in the mountains. Somewhere I can feel the peacefull calm and hear the birds chirping.
I can't wait to go camping again either in the mountains or to the beach. Going on hikes and just being able to relax and enjoy hikes and such outside is so fun. I have so many memories with my family in those types of settings which I will never forget. Those are the memories which just keep coming!

Cami, this was so great to read. I could connect with everything you wrote. Yes - it makes you a nerd that you can think of your favorite starry nights - but you are the most awesome nerd I know.
I'm glad you enjoyed it Lee. I guess I can handle being a nerd, I've survived this long as one, plus I do enjoy this aspect of it. Have you known many nerds? If I recall correctly, just the other night you told me that you still hold on to some of your nerdiness as well. :)
Yep - I'm definitely a nerd in this way. I haven't known many people who are this kind of nerd; the kind who enjoy and remember their favorite experiences in nature and then can write about it as well as you did. My problem is that I can feel the way that you described but I'm really limited in my ability to express it. I think that's why I love reading what you wrote.
Oh good, as long as I'm not alone. Usually I don't think I can really express what I mean or how I mean it. I've never been much of a writer. But I'm glad you enjoyed reading this. That makes me happy.
