Fun fact #1: Kid Cudi has a bomb [dot] com song of the same
title on one of his old mixtapes.
The title of the blog goes hand in hand with the restored
sense of amazement that I’ve been feeling as of late towards American Samoa.
Addie being here has definitely given us the opportunity to
re-experience all the amazing things that our small island has to offer.
People all throughout the village and island are super interested that someone new is here so we’re getting the opportunity to chit chat with tons of new faces (Saul and I are old news).
A couple weekends ago consisted of deep-dish pizza, sangria, the
swimming hole and a hike to Nu’uuli Falls. Addie got to experience her first
ride in the back of a pick-up truck and as she put it “the first time her life
was in someone else’s hands.” Not because of the ride in the pick-up but
because Saul and I had to heave her up and over this waterfall we free-climbed
that was at the very least 20 something feet tall and near vertical. Mom and
Dad: I promise this wasn’t as dangerous as it sounds! J
Fun fact #2: If you ever go to Nu’uuli Falls, hike up and
over the first huge waterfall to the top area. It’s gorgeous (clean, more
isolated). It’s the stuff that tropical rainforests are made of.
Fun fact #3: My parentals are no longer California
residents. They took the leap and New York is now their new locale. So excited
for them! My final tie to Santa Clarita Valley has been severed. Sawoooooop.
Fun fact #4: Shaun T. and Insanity are back in our lives
with a vengeance. Vacation bodies here we come which brings me to my fifth and
final fun fact…
Fun fact #5: Saul and I are officially taking a trip to the
Yasawa Islands in Fiji for Spring Break. Ayi! Honeymoon numero tres.

We definitely climbed that waterfall.
Addie looks way too comfortable next to that eel.

Gorgeous.
