This is one of my favorite water activity.
I live across the street from the beautiful blue ocean. Everyday I look out into that blue water and think how lucky I am to live in such an amazing place with such a wonderful man. One of my favorite things to do on the island is snorkeling. There are still many places I haven’t snorkeled yet but I’m hooked! I originally used snorkeling to supplement my cardio. Running can get so boring. Also running in Hawaii is unbelievably exhausting. The amount of sweat you get after a few minutes of running isn’t a pretty sight. Joe got me a snorkel set with fins and I started going when he wasn’t around. However I do get extremely paranoid swimming alone. I asked Joe “Honey, what do I do if I’m snorkeling and I run into a reef shark?” He tells me “appear large babe and swim at it.” I looked at him and laughed and said “right”. Now I know the answer is correct however the thought of swimming closer to it and appearing big sounds ridiculous! However I’m sure to remember that.
Every day after work, Joe and I head to the beach. If the water is great, which it usually is, we will go snorkeling. Joe will dive for shells while I attempt at it. What’s amazing is that he can hold his breathe for so long and to think he used to be a smoker too! I definitely plan to continue my water adventures. I hope to learn to surf this summer! Don’t worry, I’ll blog about the efforts.

I love my life. I thank Joe everyday for allowing me this time to just play. I’m still getting use to island life but I can definitely tell you it’s not hard to fall into this lifestyle.
