Life Guard Tower Day...

March 26th is "Life Guard Tower Day" for the Zakaryans. And this year was the 5 year anniversary of the original Life Guard Tower Day. Five years ago Brent sent me a text message while I was at school (teaching in Los Alamitos) saying to meet him at the life guard tower #74 in Newport. It's the very last one, almost to Huntington Beach, near the river jetty. That night he told me that he wanted to start dating again and that he wanted it to be exclusive! And 3 1/2 months later we were engaged! Wow... that was fast. Then less than a year later we were married! And now here we are celebrating 5 years since that night. On the original night Brent brought his guitar, dinner from Baja Fresh, and a rose for me. It was so sweet. This year he surprised me with sushi from a place we like in Newport. It was a yummy surprise, and such a beautiful day at the beach. It was sunny and pretty warm (for March). We sat on the tower and talked and laughed. It was wonderful...

It's a tradition now that when we are done eating Brent attempts to throw our bag into the trash can while standing on the tower. It usually takes several attempts as there is a lot of wind to contend with...

It amazes me that he will throw it, miss, and go all the way down to get it...

...then he'll climb back up and try it from the same spot again. Boys are so weird. But he really enjoys it... and I like to watch him be so funny.

Finally!
I love this man!
