Oh god. You said no crying but it’s too late. I am.

I love you, I love you, I love you. I just don’t know what I did to deserve you but I’m so happy you’re in my life. I just—You’re so brave and strong and smart and kind. You’re my blessing. I’m ready. For all of this. I promise. Hurry up and get here. I want to hold you.

[switch-foot-ripper]

Well then it's a good thing I'm almost at your place. I'll kiss them away.  I'm so happy you're coming. I love you so so much. I couldn't go without you. My life would just....I don't want to even think about a life without you. It's not a life at all.

Hendy…of course I am. You’re living your dream. You found that drive again. I’m happy about that. Sunday. Holy crap. Four days. I can do that. I think I can. No, I can! I’m going to be on that plane with you. 

You can’t say all these amazing things and expect me not to cry or something. You just—God, I wasn’t expecting you and yet you ended being so important to me. I can’t look into the future and not see you. It doesn’t work that way anymore. I want to give you exactly what you give me. Hope, happiness, warmth. I’m happy I met you, Hendrick Tyrrell. 

[switch-foot-ripper]

I love you, Tasia. You're my dream now.  No crying, Snow. I'll come over and help you pack and it'll be fun and I'm going to give you a million thank you's and kisses because every day you give me your heart is a gift, the greatest gift. As long as you're sure that you're ready for this I'm going to let you know that I'm there, that I love you, and I'm never letting you go.

Juno & Hendy

[juno-kelekolio-deactivated20150]

It’s fine I’ll just…I’ll miss you.

[switch-foot-ripper]

I'me going to miss you to, Junebug. You're such a sweet and amazing friend. I hope you'll make it out to one of my competitions.

[switch-foot-ripper]

Juno & Hendy

[juno-kelekolio-deactivated20150]

Oh. I guess I’m going to see a lot less of you then. I’ll have to advertise your job.

[switch-foot-ripper]

It's the right season to. You're going to be okay. It's going to be okay. You're an amazing friend and a devoted worker and an amazing surfer. I didn't mean put you out.

[tasia-pope]

Oh. Oh! Oh my god. I’m so proud of you! Hawaii is…Wow. It’s so far away from here.

O-Our place. You mean you—You want us to do the thing? Oh my god. Yes. That’s all you need to say. Yes, our place. I love LA and I’ll miss my friends but I’m not letting you go. You’re stuck with me.

[switch-foot-ripper]

You are? It's been a whirlwind week but I didn't want to say anything until it was an appropriate time. Now it's all very sudden. I'll be flying out Sunday but if you can make it I'd like you to come with me...and y'know, not bother coming back.  I've been chucking the few things I unpacked so...if you want to come I can spend the rest of our time here packing up. I want to be stuck with you, I'm never letting you go and though our trip to Spain wasn't that long ago and we're not some couple that's been getting to know eachother for years, I value you more than anyone else. You're not just my girl. You're going to be my wife some day, I can feel it. I want you to come and enjoy the life I want to give you. 

[switch-foot-ripper]

[tasia-pope]

Oh? Change is good sometimes, Prince. Hello, gorgeous. What’s new? What’s going on?

[switch-foot-ripper]

I've decided to not retire. I've been offered some amazing sponsors and a gorgeous home. The catch is that it's not here, it's in Hawaii.  The thing is...it doesn't have to be my place...it could be our place.

[switch-foot-ripper]

Juno & Hendy

[juno-kelekolio-deactivated20150]

Bad news…

[switch-foot-ripper]

I've decided to not retire after all. I've been offered some amazing sponsorships.  I love teaching and I love Rip Curl but I've found my drive again.

[switch-foot-ripper]

So...I have a bit of news about that retirement thing. I guess it might be 'bad news' for Juno ...but I have a question for my Snow too. Things are changing...

[switch-foot-ripper]

It's really not warm enough to surf. Never stopped me before because I have some great wet suits, but weather like this tends to deter people looking for lessons. I suspect that when my shift ends they'll turn up because it should be warm for a couple of hours around noon. Anyways, I've been reading this new article that came out about me and my slow retirement from professional surfing. At least I look older in it.

[switch-foot-ripper]

Sunset run was a success

 Of course, the downside here is that I don't have the energy to shower. So, anyone want a hug?

[switch-foot-ripper]

One of my clients invited me to play baseball with his team. Love this game.

[switch-foot-ripper]

The room was fit for two, The bed was left in ruins The neighbor was knocking, yeah But no one would let him in Touch me, yeah I want you to touch me there Make me feel like I am breathing Feel like I am human

Almacita & Hendy

[miss-glory-blog]

It’s kind of traumatic actually. I almost drowned when I was a little kid. Well, because I was a dumbass and wanted to sit at the bottom of the pool. Almacita. That’s cute. I’ve gotten more nicknames in the past five days than I’ve had in my entire life. Oh, you’re great. I’m gonna make you my buddy. Smizing = “smile with your eyes”. It’s a technique from the Tyra Banks school of modeling and wizardry. 

I met her, I think. The really pretty brunette. I’m glad you guys had a good time! 

[switch-foot-ripper]

That's terrible! I'm so sorry to hear that. I'm going to have to practice my smizing because I don't think I can do that but I know Tasia can- that's how she gets me into trouble...even if she doesn't know it. I'm from Spain so I hope that my nickname is extra-special for you.  She is a very beautiful brunette. She's the actress for snow white and even though I'm biased she really is perfect for it. She has that glowing snow kissed skin and ...I'm going to gush, I really adore her, sorry.

Fraye & Hendy

[fraye-mathis-deactivated2014120]

Only half. See it depends on how you look at the glass. Half short or half taller.

[switch-foot-ripper]

You'd have to be you'd need 2 more inches to still need a half a foot to reach me, third-pint. So, what's life like wayyyyy down there? 

[miss-glory-blog]

Almacita & Hendy

[miss-glory-blog]

That’s so cool! I kinda have a thing with swimming where I don’t do it… Haha. But still, admirable. Me? A model? You’re sweet, but no. Though I’m quite good at “smizing”.

Whoa, awesome! I know some people were down under for a wedding. Was that why you were there?

[switch-foot-ripper]

Hahaha that's so precious. I'd teach you, if you ever change your mind, Almacita.  Yes, you a model. Why the hell not? You're gorgeous, you have luminescent skin, and sexy hair that every woman would kill for. Does smizing mean be an adorable kitten?  I was! My girlfriend, Tasia, is friends with the happy couple and so I got to go and get all spiffed up and have the prettiest girl on the island on my arm. Best Christmas present ever, I say.

Morgan & Hendy

[mk-williams]

Hendyyyyy, that’s an awesome name. I don’t know about a bucket of laughs, you should talk to my boss, he might tell you I’m good for laughs, but that I can also be a bit evil. It’s nice to meet you man-with-the-awesome-name.

[switch-foot-ripper]

What's it you do Morgan? Thanks for thinking my name is so awesome. I'm from Spain but I've traveled all over and let me tell you it is frequently mispronounce and miswritten. 

[augusthalloranuniverse-deactiva]

My birthday is in five days.

[augusthalloranuniverse-deactiva]

I guess I’ll see where the day takes me. And twenty-three.

[switch-foot-ripper]

23 means drinking and some dancing in a club. Enjoy yourself while you're young and you can.
