"MOVE YOUR BUTTS PEOPLE." Kelley yells.
"Kelley we have the beach to ourselves." Christen says.
"But the waves are sick."
"Alright Kels." Erin says as everyone arrives in the living room.
"Astrid do you have a wetsuit I can use?" Mal asks.
"Me too." Kelley and Erin say.
"You can check in there." I say and point to the hall closet.
Mal, Erin, and Kelley head to the hall closet and search for a wet suit.
"Astrid how many houses do you have?" Christen asks. "This is the fourth one I've been too."
Kelley decided to have my Bachelorette party in Hawaii so we're using the house I have here.
"I sold the home in Salt Lake City, I have this one here on Maui Island, Tobin and I recently bought a new Home in Portland, there's the one you've been to in Portugal and I have a home in Wolfsburg. I also have a house in LA, Costa Rica, Italy, Switzerland, Spain, and France." I say.
"How can you afford all that?" Kelley asks.
"Most of them I rent out on Airbnb and places like that."
"Does Tobin own any of them with you?" Amy asks.
"Yeah." I say and grab my wet suit. "When we got Married I had her name added to all the official documents so we both own them now."
"Ready." Mal says.
The 6 of us walk down the stairs and head to my board room.
"If you want to surf then grab a board." I say then grab my Board.
"Is there a reason your board is Thorns colors?" Amy asks as Kelley, Erin, and Mal get boards.
"Tobin gave it to me last Christmas."
"Aww." Kelley says.
"How cute." Mal says then she points to the nose of my board. "And it even has Tobin's number on it."

"Yeah yeah." I say. "Let's get moving."
The six of us leave the board room, walk out the back doors, and head down to the beach. Once on the beach Amy and Christen head over to the beach loungers to get some sun while the rest of us head towards the ocean.
"Mal have you ever surfed before?" I ask as I zip up my wet suit.
"I've paddle boarded, but never surfed." Mal says.
"Do you want to go with me for your first time?"
"Is that possible?"
"If you trust me it is."
"Okay." Mal says.
"HURRY UP ASTRID." Kelley yells from the sea.
"Come on Mal." I say.
The two of us wade into the Ocean for a bit then I lay on the board.
"Hop on Mal." I say
Mal lays on top of me and wraps her arms around me then I start paddling out towards my sisters.
"Hold your breath Mal." I say as a wave approaches then I quickly look back and see Mal holding her breath.
As the wave gets to us I dive us under the water for a few seconds then we surface a few seconds later.
"You good?" I ask while paddling towards my sisters.
"Yep." Mal says as we pull up to my sisters.
"Alright Mal I'm gonna slide back and you're gonna slide forward and sit in front of me okay?"
"You got it dude." Mal says then we do just as I planned and Mal sits in front of me while I sit on the back of the board.
Mal, Kelley, Erin, and I shoot the shit for a little bit until a good wave comes.
"Alright Mal lay down and start paddling." I say
The two of us lay on the board and paddle until we catch the wave.

"HOP UP." I shout.
Mal and I hop up and stand on the board then I wrap my left arm around Mal to steady her. The two of us ride the wave all the way into shore then we fall into knee deep water. Mal and I pull my board out of the water then we watch my twin and my other sister ride waves into the shore.
"FOOD'S HERE." Amy shouts so I unzip the top half of my wet suit.
The four surfers stand our boards up then we head over to Amy and Christen and sit down with them and start eating our food.
"So where is Tobin's Bachelorette party?" Mal asks.
"Costa Rica." I say.
"Are they using you two's house there?" Erin asks.
"I assume so."
"You ready for your wedding?" Amy asks causing me to smile and nod.
"Extremely ready."

"So this is where you lived." Kelley says as some of the girls and I walk around Wolfsburg.
Tobin and I decided to have our wedding in Germany since that's where we both definitely knew we wanted to get married.
"Mhmm." I say and squeeze Tobin's hand.
"I still can't believe you flew everyone here for free." Christen says.
Tobin and I told Everyone to meet at the Atlanta airport then I used my connections to charter a plane to Hanover, Germany so we all flew together then we had cars take us to Wolfsburg, where the wedding is.
"I kinda expected it." Alex says.
"Same." Kelley says as we get to my favorite restaurant in Wolfsburg.
We head inside the restaurant then we're lead to a private area where our rehearsal dinner is happening.
We just did the final walkthrough of the wedding.
Once in the private area we sit at our table and order food and drinks then we start talking.
"Are you guys honeymooning after your wedding?" Katie asks.
"After the season we are." Tobin says.
"Why not now?" Perry questions.
"The girls have two more NWSL games then we come back over to Europe for the June friendlies." I say.
"Ah."
"Who are you guys playing?" Cindy asks.
"France then Germany."
"You girls are doing a lot of traveling." My dad says.
"Life of a professional footballer." Kelley says as our drinks come.
"Danke." I say to the waitress after she's served us our drink then she nods and leaves.
"Where in Germany are you playing?" Amy asks.
"Here." I say. "In Wolfsburg."
"And it's a sell out." Kelley adds.
"Those are two tough opponents...right?" My Mom questions.
"Very tough." My twin says.
"We'll win." I say then take a drink of my whiskey.
"I wouldn't be too sure of that." I hear a voice behind me say causing me to smirk.
"Hey Xandra." I say then get out of my chair, turn around, and hug my friend Alexandra Popp.
"It's good to see you." Alexandra says.
"You too."
"Rehearsal dinner?" My friend questions and points behind me so I nod. "Then I won't take up too much of your time. I just wanted to come say hi."
"Alright." I say and hug my friend. "See you tomorrow."
"See ya at the wedding Mrs. Heath." Alexandra says then she returns to her family while I sit down.
"Who was that?" Katie asks as I notice our food arrived.
"Alexandra Popp." I say then take a bite of food. "She and I use to play here together and she kinda became my sister over here."
"So." Kelley says causing everyone to look at her. "Who's ready for a wedding?"
