we made it! awesome time! and i felt FINE! quite amazing, actually! chris and i had a really, really nice time. :) today the water was a bit rough - we were "camping" at a dive site so had a pretty rude awakening at, oh, 3 a.m... it has since been a really long day. but it was just a great time, and adventure all-around. i'm so glad we went. glad, again, that i have this wonderful boy to be experiencing things with. :)
quick upload.. i gotta go through and delete the similar pics (obviously i didn't upload everything i took, but i realize there are four very similar pics uploaded, etc.).
anyway, back to the real world; have to be at class in an hour. we just got home at 3! d'oh!
go look at the pics. lots are just focusing on how damn pretty the water was because, well.. it WAS. wow. :)
I'm Stacey. I'm a 31(!)-year-old Wisconsin girl living in sunny South Florida. The highlights in my life are my lovely boyfriend, my aloof cats, my adorable/adoring stepdogs, my two lumbering tortoises, select family members, being outside, being underwater, taking pictures, yadda yadda. Stay tuned for lots of babbling!
A small boy lived by the ocean. He loved the creatures of the sea, especially the starfish, and he spent much of his time exploring the seashore.
One day the boy learned there would be a minus tide that would leave the starfish stranded on the sand.
When the tide went out, he went down to the beach, began picking up the stranded starfish, and tossing them back into the ocean.
An elderly man who lived next door came down to the beach to see what the boy was doing. Seeing the man's quizzical expression, the boy paused as he approached. "I'm saving the starfish!" the boy proudly declared.
When the neighbor saw all of the stranded starfish he shook his head and said: "I'm sorry to disappoint you, young man, but if you look down the beach, there are stranded starfish as far as the eye can see. And if you look up the beach the other way, it's the same. One little boy like you isn't going to make much of a difference."
The boy thought about this for a moment. Then he reached his small hand down to the sand, picked up another starfish, tossed it out into the ocean, and said: "Well, I sure made a difference for that one!"
