When Ryan came over the other weekend he said, "When are we scuba diving?" Sorry, bud, but it was going to be the next weekend that he visited. Then he asked, "Am I going into the ocean?" Sorry again, but he has to wait until AT LEAST 10 years old. He was soooo bummed. He said it was too many years away, but really it's only one. Hmmm...maybe it could be a 10th birthday present.
We went to the pool again this weekend. Ryan may want to go to the ocean but he'll take a pool if that's all he's got.
Bruce and I - not having been trained in anything yet - are getting better about getting Ryan in his gear without much assistance. We're learning what needs to be plugged in, how to prevent chaffing, and how to make sure Ryan is safe. Bruce said he was going to have to pay for me to take lessons soon (notice how he doesn't even ask if I want lessons, or even consider it. If Ryan's going in, someone has to go with him and it sure isn't going to be Bruce - that's the message he was sending.)
Anywho, I took some video this time so Bruce could see what Ryan is up to down there. This is Ryan just messing around underwater - sorry I didn't crop the video:
Now here is Ryan doing a handstand underwater. He can hold it for a long time :)
Oh well, if there's something for him to be interested in, this is pretty cool.

Reminiscing
Definition of reminiscing: Indulging in recollection of past events.
I've been doing that a lot lately. I love looking at our photos of Aruba. It was such a perfect week following such a perfect wedding day. I want to go back and do it all over again, but not be in charge of anything. I just want to show up and celebrate. Part of the reason I like to reminisce about our wedding day is that it all happened so fast and I don't actually remember that much. I want to do it all over again and put those memories back in my head so I don't have to have a picture tell me. (And I would tell the photographers to focus on family photos a little more. Couldn't one of them focused on me and Bruce and the other on family members?).
Anywho...we have a new computer and I found the photos from my wedding dress hunt. I'm gong to post them now because, honestly, I was beautiful in everything.
My First Day - Mama, Britt and Des came with me
Too Ornate in the Wrong Way
Much Prettier than the Picture Shows but it weighed a TON!
I loved the top on this one but no one else did!
This One Always Looks Good in Magazines I I Looked Good in it But it Wasn't "The One"
Another Pretty One
Mermaid dress- hard to tell because I as still wearing the giant crinoline underneath!
I'm so pretty, but the dress isn't nearly as pretty as some of the others I've tried
Pretty, but not it
I Loved this one, just not the price tag....or the woman who was trying to sell it to me.
Simply Marvelous, Dahling:
I Loved, Loved, Loved this one in magazines - I still do LOVE it. I guess after trying on all the dresses I wanted a little more bling, though. And it was expensive. So that settled that.
I LOVED the Last Two - so hard to decide!!!
The Second Go-Around I went with Daddy, Des and Erin. It was down to the final 2 and they helped me make a decision!
Daddy Tried to Help a Lot :)
