Since it has been two years since my last post, I figured I'd better mention that if you want to see what I'm up to, you can find me on Facebook. :)
But, since you made it all this way, I'll reward you with a couple photos:

I had a lovely trip to Utah earlier this month and got to spend time with my cute nieces. But, since I had to borrow Ilene's camera while I was there, she's got all the other good photos. She also too me to a BYU football game. go0O Cougarrrrs!!!

The diving has been good, but I don't get to take my camera down much these days. Of course, while I can, it's in the shop 'cause it tried to breathe underwater too. :s
Thank you for being interested in me & what I'm doing & I hope to see you on Facebook!

(BTW, Kenric, Becky & Ilene, etc.--I do still follow your blogs--THANKS!!!)

Instructor Certification

I passed the instructor course, so I'm now a PADI Scuba Instructor! WooHoo!!!
(Sorry about the lapse in pictures.)

OK--I had to throw in a sunset too!

This is my dive buddy, Calvin, on our lobster dive.

I finally caught some lobster!!! MMM!

Hey, dad, I just had to throw a lighthouse shot in for you! ;)

We got to go snorkling and diving one last time before Ike got too close.

Waitin' Out the Storm

2008-08-18T14:38:00.009-06:00

So much for a hurricane! We just got some rain and wind and 3 days kinda' off. Oh well.

Smoochy-smoochy!!!

Mating ritual? Argument? Play? I have yet to figure out what these White Grunt are doing. Oh well--makes for a great shot. I've seen quite a few fish doing that this week.

Yep! That's a shark!

2008-07-28T18:15:00.003-06:00

Don't worry, it's only a nurse shark. They don't really like to eat people, unless you try to get them to take you for a ride. This guy was probably about as big as me. It is fascinating to watch the underwater creatures move and swim. These sharks are so graceful and stealthy.

Another adorable face! ;) ;)

I made it to Florida!!!

2008-07-26T19:54:00.003-06:00

Yes, it has been a long time . . . again. I'm in the Florida Keys working as a Divemaster--pretty darn amazing! I'm going to try for at least one "picture of the week" post. So, here's the first one. This is a squirrel fish. Isn't it just adorable--it looks like it needs a hug.

Last Utah Dive

2008-05-29T13:40:00.006-06:00

Yes, it has been a while, but I'm gonna' make this quick, 'cause I've got to get back to packing. Yes, Packing! You may have heard the rumor, and yes, it is true. I am moving to Florida--the sunshine state! Michelle and I decided Utah just wasn't right for us at this time, so we're going somewhere where there are beaches, an ocean, and a really long summer. We are both also going to try some new things in our careers.

So, Here are a couple of pictures from what may be my last dive in Utah. I went down to Lake Powell over Memorial Day weekend with a couple of buddies. Unfortunately, no one told the fish that they were supposed to be out and about (we only saw about a dozen, and those trying to fish had no luck). However, it was great to be under the water!

Sand Hollow, UT, October 27

2007-10-30T15:55:00.000-06:00

Well, this may be my last dive for 2007. I brought along Ilene & Zac to do underwater pumpkin carving, and Loren to be the chaufer & 4 wheeling tour guide. I also finished my Rescue Diver course this weekend.

No, we didn't coordinate our outfits!

Here's Zac & Ilene after their "Under Water Pumpkin Carving":

And here's how this family likes to carve pumpkins - "Under Fire":

Watch out!!!

Now, that's not bad!!!

Here's some of the underwater sights:

End of Summer Adventures

2007-10-01T22:57:00.000-06:00

Here are my last few activities marking the end of summer 2007:

Flaming Gorge was probably the last scuba dive trip for this year.
Ilene, Zac & I went to the Utah State Fair, (no ribbons this year).
I got a couple of raspberries off of two plants on my patio.

And, I woke myself up to watch the full lunar eclipse on August 28th.
