Happy Aloha Friday! Since I’ve been couch-ridden for the past few weeks, I had to scrounge up some photos to slap a post together. I’m usually the one behind the camera, so I don’t have too many pictures of myself surfing. However, on a small, gloomy day when my fiance was injured (usually the only way I can force him to take pictures!) I got a few. It’s small, but hey! It’s time spent in the water.

Makapuu is my favorite place on the island. It’s where I’ve got some of my most memorable waves, really learned how to bodyboard, and – most importantly – where Rocky proposed! It’s beautiful even when it’s stormy, but when it’s sunny, it looks like heaven.

Ahhhh. I’m in love.

    Gorgeous! I know what it’s like to not be in pictures a lot because I’m always the one behind the camera taking pictures of my kids! It’s nice to have some that aren’t just selfies!

      Haha that’s exactly how I feel with my fiance and his friends! I have to force them to take any pictures of me at all

      i loveee the water too! I live on the stormy side of the island, but I wish these pics were of a sunny day! The place just glistens 🙂
      But hey, being near water is a beautiful thing regardless.
