Surf's Up!

So I haven't posted in a while...

And it seems like the longer I go without posting, the more I think "Oh my heck, I have so much to catch up on.  Where do I start?"  And I become overwhelmed... and you know that moment, when you think of all you have to do, so you just decide not to do ... any of it??  It happens to my blog.  And since this blog is somewhat my form of journaling, I feel guilty.

SO!

Life is good.  Mike and I are really enjoying every minute we have together, and trying to explore every last bit of this island!

The other day we went into Waikiki and used a groupon that my wonderful mother-in-law had given us a while back.  I got to go surfing!!


Oh boy it was definitely an adventure!!  I loved it but was also frustrated because it was hard to control the board and there were sooo many people that I was worried I would crash into them.  Luckily, I didn't!

I thought that it might be kind of like snowboarding, but it actually really isn't at all.  

After I was all done!  It was great, I wish I was better at it though!

Another groupon adventure we got to do was having out photos done on the beach!  It was absolutely perfect.

I was so glad to get these pictures done, we had a blast doing them!

Here are a few of my favorites...

It was fun to get them done, we also have a ton of WONDERFUL photos that my cousins Nate and Marilinda took on their trip out here... which will certainly be a topic of future posts! :)

Another fun happening was game night!  this was the first one we've hosted, and it was super fun!  Brett & Heidi, and Isabel & Cesar came.  Sadly, I did not get a picture.  But it was a night full of laughs and fun, for sure!

Mike's parents also had some friends that were coming out here for a few weeks to visit, so we ended up meeting with them for a few hours as well, that was fun.  Their name was Linda and Mike Rubin...

They wanted to see Bellows Air Force Base Beach, so Mike got them on.  It was a BEAUTIFUL day.  

And tonight we cleaned and did homework... all in preparation for our good friends Mario and Holly, who are coming out to visit tomorrow!!!  We have been planning this for a long time... I can hardly wait.

Life. Is. Good.
