A couple weeks ago we had some friends in town.  We spent the day down in Doheny because they have good beginner waves for people learning how to surf.  Tanner is such a great teacher!  This was our second surfing attempt.  The first time Tanner and I went out was about a month ago here in Newport.  My arms were seriously dead after paddling through a couple waves and Tanner ended up towing me out after that.  I just held on to his leash that was attached to his ankle and he would paddle for the both of us. :) What a great husband right?  Newport wasn't very lucky for me, I got up for about 2 seconds and quickly fell of my board.  Doheny was great though!  Tanner didn't have to tow me out and I actually stood up on multiple waves! After a year of having major anxiety over surfing, I have finally overcome my fear.

 I can't believe the summer has come and gone so quickly!  We have tried to take full advantage of living in such a fun area where there is so much to do.  Back in April, Tanner and I joined an outrigging Recreational team.  It was great finding something that Tanner and I could do together and it was quite the workout.  We paddled for a few months and decided that our excitement for outrigging had come and gone, so we cut it short.  But we have some great memories to keep with us!
