..hangin' loose..

Life is good. We're just hangin' loose here in the Rainbow State, enjoying the laid back way of life, being fish in the ocean, and you know, working every once in a while :) If I ever questioned how much I would love it here, all doubts are out the window.

We discovered a new sport yesterday, one that I quickly became addicted to: Paddleboarding! It's like a wide surfboard that comes with a paddle and you can stand on it, kneel on it, sit on it, lay on it, and catch waves! It's all about balance and it really works your core. I've already started saving pennies to buy my own and I can't wait until the day I can go out every day and spend 10 hours on the ocean. It's just that amazing. The picture below is of me and Pete in the ocean...and this picture pretty much describes how it went...me standing, Pete falling in the water! Haha okay so it wasn't that dramatic but it was super fun!
We've both secured jobs and now the next step is finding a decent place to live. Everything we've looked at is super small & yet expensive...the Hawaiian way...so we'll get less bang for more buck, but it's a trade-off for living in Paradise, we figure!

We haven't grown tired of the warm temperatures, mountain ranges, sunsets, flowers, smells, or beach yet- but then again, it's only been a month! I wonder if it will ever become normal to us, or if we'll always be in awe of where we live.

Below are some more pictures of what we've been doing since we've been here. Enjoy!

  1. Hello dear friend! So I totally forgot you had this blog... I have been such a slacker when it comes to blogging :( I loved going back and reading all of your blogs you posted since you've been in Hawaii! I loveed the list that you made about here and there... especially #9 (french onion dip). I am in the process of making a homemade pizza right now.. and I am thinking of you and the first time we made one together in my old apartment! Good Times! :) I will try to read more often... keep updating! :) Love you!
