Day 152 – Oysters with Friends

So….today was a busy but GREAT day!! Tonight we had plans with our friends to go to the local Navy Officers Club with Jen and Carlos. Well, by the time Vinny got home from work it was a little too late for that so we changed our plans and headed to a local restaurant on the ocean just down the road. Jen and Carlos are such a great couple. Between the four of us there is never a quiet moment, which I just love- everything just flows so naturally. We sat outside on the ocean front and watched an early evening fog roll in which for some reason was really super cool to me.

Earlier when we realized we had to change plans, Jen had suggested this place that Vinny and I had never been to because she said they had great oysters and she thought it would be great for my intention. She knew I had never actually eaten them. Elijah loves oysters and I bought some the other day at the farmers market for him, but just couldn’t bring myself to eat them. Anyhow, when we got there they ordered a dozen and Jen and I had a conversation about embracing life and trying new things and she said she turned away from trying them for a long time too but decided to give them a go and loved them. When I tried them I absolutely was shocked to realize that I LOVED them as well!!! I ate a few- in addition to my lobster roll and was so excited to have found another new food love. LOL

Anyhow, we talked about the blog and how much it has impacted me and actually her as well which was a great feeling. We all picked up our glasses and raised our cups. The four of us toasted to Heather – we toasted to our lives here in Newport that I feel so blessed for our paths to be crossing over yet again. So this was a great evening – great intention – great friends and I look forward to another amazing weekend ahead. #HGAL #newexperiences
