today i woke up and ate ice cream for breakfast.

the day ended like this.

clearly it doesn't get much better.

>rollin wit my homies.

waimea daze.

i probably should have done a better job at taking photos. 

most of them turned out blurry, at an awkward moment, or with water dots on them.

i guess i was too focused on the good company i was surrounded by.

happy saturday.

>dawn patrol.

last saturday a swell came in. which in the summer months, is rare. so ben, justin and i headed to the north shore, bright and early. it was a crowded day. and normally at 6am it's not too bad, but like i said. summer months = bad surf. justin decided he preferred his sleep, but ben jumped in the water. 

i can think of few things as peaceful and calming as putting your headphones in, watching the sunrise, and snapping pictures. and hey, i even saw jack johnson out in the water with ben and then later he walked right next to me. and we couldn't end the morning without some ted's bakery. 

i understand now why they say good morning.

>the women i owe everything to.

mother's day.

my mom is awesome. seriously, i am so lucky.

the women is an angel and spends all her time serving others.

i love her so much. 

to this day i call her when i'm happy, confused, and sad. 

our relationship is growing every day which makes me very excited for the future.

she has been there for me through so much. 

she has literally laid in my bed with me and held me as i've cried my eyes out.

and she has laughed with me after a snorkel attack. 

every day i recognize how truly amazing she is.

i would have other adults come up to me and tell me that my mom is an angel on earth,

 but i never fully recognized the validity of that statement until i got older. 

it scares me because i know there is no way i will ever be as good of a mother as she is.

but it gives me something to strive towards.

i love that she is such a hippie. it's hillarious. she is the most zen person there is. 

i know it's disappointing that i dislike vegetables so much, 

but she still has hope that one day i'll be more healthy like her (don't hold your breath).

i learn new lessons from her every day, and i can't wait to learn even more.

i love you mom. you are my rock. you are my everything. 

with warmth & love,

>hawaii kai.

i love saturday's spent exploring.

it was a blissful saturday leaving us with sun-kissed cheeks and salty skin. perfect.

with warmth & love,
