BEACHIN ROMPER AND 15 THINGS

HAT /// ROMPER /// RING /// TOE RING

I want to wake up everyday (like our Mama) and choose to be happy. I don't always do that. Sometimes I feel sorry for myself or complain because I can be a brat, and you know what? No one, not even myself wants to be around that. I want to change that about myself so I'm making a habit of listing 5-10 things each day that I'm thankful for. Some days I try and challenge myself to go through the whole day without saying anything negative. Have you ever tried that? It is for sure possible. I've done it a few times and it really does make your day 100% better. I should do it more. 

Here are some things that I jotted down. The most simple of things bring so much joy to my life and I want to remember that when I get in my funks. It's embarrassing. I embarrass myself. Geez. 

The first moment you wake up and know it's going to be an awesome day

The first sip of coffee in bed

The exciting drive to the beach filled with laughter and good music

The sand in between my toes
This awesome romper

The sun on my skin

The wind in my hair

The love of my life

The cutest pup there ever was just running full speed

The conversations I only have with God

The best treasures from the sea added to my collection

The many sounds of the ocean

The memories with my Grandma that pop into my head daily...then make me cry

The long drive home with windows down and music blaring

The longest hottest shower...

The best sleep of your life because my mattress is basically a cloud

Now it's your turn, what are the small things that make you thankful or happy?

I woke up to the sound of Jacobs carry-on rolling up the driveway about 7 am and I sprung out of bed, greeted him with big hugs and kisses, and then jumped back into bed for another hour or so. We were both so sleep deprived that we needed the extra sleep so we could enjoy our fun filled day at the beach together.

First stop before we headed to the beach was Whole Foods so we could have an awesome snack selection for the drive. Duh. We did not want Feed The Beast Brandi to come out, because that's never fun. We also made sure to have an awesome playlist going so we could scream from the top of our lungs! Are you following us on Spotify? User name MUCHOMUCHOBUENOBUENO.

Once we got to the beach, baby waves and all, it was our own private Idaho ... you can clearly see we are running around giddy like 5 year olds. I don't know what it is about the ocean but it's like we crave it and we need it. Even Zeyk was freaking out doing sprints like he was an olympian.

A BUENO DAY OFF /// Let's Go Surfing

Sometimes you just need a day off to go play. My friend Joe and I woke up at 6 am to get to the waves early, Jacob and Kelly had to work so they stayed behind. Joe recently sold his car with his old surfboard rack and we don't fully trust the new one so we decided to just strap down one board for the day. Sharing his board was no problem since Texas waves are rough and choppy and after about 30 min paddling out your arms need a break. I am the happiest girl in the world when I am in the sunshine getting salty. Joe asked me if surfing in Costa and Nicaragua is similar to Texas surf and I just laughed because it's so much harder paddling out here, but you know what I appreciate that. I will take whatever I can get. Joe made a video from this day but I am waiting to post it next week.

Now we are planning another Surf trip but we can't decide where we want to go. So many awesome places to chose from. As long as it's in warm water. Any recommendations?
