Random Thoughts

August 9, 2004. Rockport, MA the day after getting my scuba certification and immediately after our first "solo" dive. This was probably the greatest 3 days of my life. It was blissfully stress free, completely and purely fun. Aaron and I just could not have been happier at this point in our lives. I think at this moment we were doing exactly what we wanted to be doing, there was nowhere on the planet we would rather have been. It was really that simple that day. Ocean, sun, diving, salt water in our hair, sand in our wetsuits, purple jellyfish and neon starfish. Lobsters grabbing at our hands, trying to navigate the bottom of the ocean, rocks and seaweed, a rented car, Windy #7, our tiny porch, watching the sunset over the water and old fishing boats. Drinking a cold beer with our feet up on the railing, talking to perfect strangers about nothing at all and everything. Listening to the waves hit the shore under our heads in the morning. Simplicity, peace, serenity... wonderfulness. I love you.
