More Hawaii pics to brighten your day :) This trip was much needed for me and came at the perfect time. I'm so grateful for all the wonderful friends I met while living in Hawaii of whom I will cherish forever and of course visit often ;). It was so nice getting some one on one girl time with my girlfriends and really getting to know each other more. I'm very grateful for each and every one of my friends and their hospitality they showed me. There's nothing better than beachin' it and swimming under the sea. Aloha Oahu, until next time!

Fortunately, I was able to meet up with my girlfriends Mindy, Carrie and Bethany for a girls day! We started off with a surf sesh at Castles and lots of snorkeling, shelling, and playing in the waves. Sunset beach is always a go to for some good laying out and swimming so we were sure to hit that up. I made a visit to Haleiwa for my favorite acai bowl for breakfast after buying a far too expensive but worth it swimmy at San Lorenzo :). I had Wailua Bakery for lunch, and of course had girls night at Opal Thai which is the most delicious Thai I have ever had! Highly recommended if you ever go to Oahu. After dinner we stopped at Ono Yo for some frozen yogurt and met up with a few more of my girlfriends who still live on the island. It was so nice catching up on life. Two of my friends are pregnant, one with her second and the other with her first! The rest of us talked about babies plenty and how excited we are to one day be moms.
I'm not sure how much better a day could get than good friends, delicious food, surf, shelling, swimming, and sun. Oh and lets not forget the adorable house I got to stay at for the second half of my trip! See picture #5! That cute green house is where my friend Carrie and her husband Ben live and work. It's a little private ranch right on the point in Kahuku. It overlooks the ocean and has a wonderful breeze that comes in, especially in the evenings. It is so quaint and relaxing, I have no doubt my friend Carrie is in heaven living there in her cute beach cottage with horses and dogs running around :). What a dream.
Watching the sky turn from solid blue to cotton candy as the sun set each day was the exact thing I needed. Hawaii is my forever home. It's where I went to start a new chapter in my life when I was only 22, knowing there was something else out there for me. My move to Hawaii led me to finding my husband, finishing my degree, and meeting some of the most wonderful people I've ever met. I have made some of the best memories there and it truly is my happy place. I can't wait to visit and one day live there again. Thank you Hawaii for making my heart whole.
All I can say is that right now I'm stoked. Tomorrow I fly out to HAWAII!!!! I CAN"T WAIT! I'm going to visit some friends and hang out on the North Shore for a week and live the HI life again :) I plan on shelling, surfing, eating poke and taking lots of beach naps. If I can, I'll try and squeeze in a hike with some friends. How this spontaneous trip came to be was for reals divine intervention.
Back in January or so, Chase, his brothers and Dad started planning this surf trip to Nicaragua. Unfortunately, it was boys only so I was major bummed. To make myself feel better I randomly looked up flights to Hawaii a few weeks ago, my happy place, and it was meant to be! I found a stellar deal on a flight and within the day it was booked. Aweeee, I feel happier now :) Anyway, I still plan on taking a sisters trip internationally here in the near future since Chase gets to go to Nicaragua, but more than anything I want to explore this beautiful world with him. We have been talking about Tahiti and Bali a TON lately and I can't stop day dreaming about it. So, before we have kids you better believe we are gonna hope and pray to make that happen. In the meantime, stay tuned via my instagram for some aloha vibes comin' up :)!
