Flowers for no reason!

A few days ago, Josh came home holding a huge bouquet of flowers. I asked, "Who are those for?!" He has only bought flowers for special occasions, not for a random Tuesday! I didn't know how to react. I think Josh thought I didn't like them! I was wondering what he was up to. Just being a thoughtful husband!



I went for a walk the other day and took some pictures of the beach by our house.


This is our view from our back porch. It is nice to be reminded everyday that you live 100 yards from the ocean.

Other News:

Yesterday, Josh and I took an evening walk to the beach to discover huge waves!! Since we live on the Caribbean side of the island, the ocean is usually very calm (as you can see from the picture above). But a cold front brought waves up to 15 feet tall! As soon as Josh and I reached the beach and saw two surfers in the water, we immediately ran home to put our suits on. We called Andy as we were running back and told him to quickly join us at the beach. The three of us spent almost 2 hours fighting the waves, attempting to body surf but really just getting pummeled by each wave, getting scrapped by rocks and coral, and laughing extremely hard. It was probably the most fun we have had here on the island. We felt like little kids running up and down the beach. Observers were definitely questioning our decision to be in the water. The school even urged students to stay out of the ocean but that didn't stop us!!
