update

things are going well here.... surfing a lot and enjoying ourselves. the weather has mostly been really great. a little chilly today, but pretty sunny and nice for the most part. a different swell is coming in right now, so the waves are changing and being kinda weird. this morning, the waves started out really good, then the tide went really far in and they died to nearly nothing, and then they turned all crazy and mushy and choppy all at the same time. so we left and went to lunch. :) but we both had caught waves, so it was all good. luke went surfing again this afternoon at del monte beach, but i was sleepy so i stayed in and relaxed. we try to surf in the morning and afternoon, but sometimes i'm too worn out. luke never is. haha.

we'll try to fit in as much surfing as we can before we leave for nevada. we'll get to reno tuesday evening, have fun with family and friends for a few days, then we leave for virginia on saturday (can't wait to see the fam and go surfing with liane and carl!) and then back to reno for a couple of days before we come back to the coast and more surfing! yay!
so there you have it... all is good in the world of the phlegmings. :)

dolphins

so today, while luke and i were out surfing, this big pod of dolphins swam by. this happens a lot, so you might be thinking no big deal, right? well, these dolphins were RIGHT next to us! seriously, one came up and blew the blow hole in my face and i could have reached my foot out off the side of my board and touched it. it was a little scary, but mostly pretty cool. they kept playing around us for a while and then moved on. one even caught a wave with luke. it was cool.
the waves were pretty fun. i've been practicing on the new shortboard a lot so that i can ride it in virginia. but today was kinda little, so it was a longboard day. very fun.

i'm a published author!!

okay, not exactly, but it is still really cool.
a while back, i entered a contest for Surfing magazine about a great love story, and the guy said I really would have won, but the submission was too late because we get our mail late in Korea. but, this month, in the august issue, they printed the story!!!! so now everyone knows our great engagement story!!! yay!
i wish i had a link to show it to you all, but instead, go to a bookstore and check out the august issue of Surfing. It is in the letters section and titled "I love you, but..."
awwww, we are so cute! and it came out right for our anniversary! :)

happy july 3rd!

hey! it's our anniversary, yay!
we are back at grandma betty's house after camping for a week. branden came down to camp too, it was very fun. but boy did i ever need a shower after 6 days of camping! my hair was so greasy and NAAAAAASTY! the ocean water only does so much......
today we are going surfing and then coming back, cleaning up, and going out do dinner, with some cheesecake, of course!
and then tomorrow we will head back to camping again for only 3 nights this time. it's really cool to be at the campground for the 4th of july and see all the fireworks in the sky. the campground is right on the beach, so it is way awesome. and branden bought some silly little fireworks that we may light off also. :)
surfing has been great, yesterday we went to carmel beach and nearly froze our buns off. much colder water than santa cruz! luke was off tearing up the waves and branden and i stuck together and surfed the fun stuff. we had the longboards and luke was shortboarding. speaking of shortboarding.... my new board is so cool! i have surfed it a few times and caught some waves and everything! i trade off between the shortboard and longboard. but when we go to virginia, i'm just taking the shortboard, so hopefully i can handle liane and carl's home turf!! heehee.
okay, gotta run and go get ready for the surf!
peace out.
