Oh boy

B took us all out for the day to his sisters house in Queens NY where we spent the night in her house and went to Jones beach the next day. It was during that trip that I began to see the unity that was to characterize us for the rest of the year. I knew 3 of the 4 RA s fairly well before. I had spent quite a bit of time with Ilya on the bench playing soccer the year before and Tim, B and Mic were in a close Bible study/accountability group that I was also a part of. Matty, however, I really didn’t know all that well. We had played soccer together, but like I said, I sat the bench...Matty was a great player. In sports that can have potential to create a huge caesium in relationships. Well, we both told coach that we would run while we were there...beside the ocean of course. So when we had been at the beach for awhile Matty and I took off down the shore line. The sand was hard if we ran close to the water, so we tried to as much as possible. As we got further down the beach the people thinned out. Soon it was basically only us except for the occasional sun bather trying to get away from the crowds. Now both Matty and I grew up somewhat sheltered from the evils of the world. Not that we have not been around some, but our parents tried their best to keep us out of trouble for the most part. When we were about 1 mile from the rest of the group, minding our own business, picking up the occasional shell that looked cool, I happed to look up and away from the water...there was a woman naked as a jaybird. Thinking of my friend who was going to be getting married in less than a year my reaction was “Oh boy, Oh boy! Matty look at the ocean. Look at the ocean!” For the rest of the trip, all I heard from the boys was “Oh boy Caleb!”
