Garrett and Amanda at the Beach
Unfortunately, Flickr only allows us so many slideshows at a time, unless we shuck out some coin. However, all our pics are still viewable on Flickr.

Scuba Diving at Lake Rawlings
A few years back while on vacation in St. Thomas U.S.V.I. with my family, I went scuba diving at a resort. Needless to say after that I was hooked. As soon as I moved to Virginia Beach, VA I got my scuba dive certification through PADI. Unfortunately, I have not really had a chance to use it since then, but now the time has come to put it to good use. Garrett and I are going to the Mayan Riviera (off the coast of Mexico) for our honeymoon. From what I hear there is great diving down there and we wanted to take full advantage of it. However, I didn't want to go by myself, so this past weekend Garrett also got his scuba certification.
To get his open water dives in we had to drive to a dive lake a few hours away. The lake actually used to be a rock quarry and was absolutely beautiful. (By the way, Yes Garrett did pass:))

The Birthday of My Life
If you've received the wedding invitation already, you may have noticed a line on there about "the birthday of our life". I know, it's cute. I was reading some poetry (crazy, huh?) in preparation to ask Amanda to marry me, and I came across this Christina Rossetti poem called "A Birthday". It goes like this.
My heart is like a singing bird
Whose nest is in a water'd shoot;
My heart is like an apple-tree
Whose boughs are bent with thickset fruit;
My heart is like a rainbow shell
That paddles in a halcyon sea;
My heart is gladder than all these
Because my love is come to me.
Raise me a dais of silk and down;
Hang it with vair and purple dyes;
Carve it in doves and pomegranates;
And peacocks with a hundred eyes;
Work it in gold and silver grapes,
In leaves and silver fleurs-de-lys;
Because the birthday of my life
Is come, my love is come to me.
For those who haven't caught on, Amanda is the birthday of my life.

My heart is like a rainbow shell
That paddles in a halcyon sea;
My heart is gladder than all these
Because my love is come to me.
Raise me a dais of silk and down;
Hang it with vair and purple dyes;
Carve it in doves and pomegranates;
And peacocks with a hundred eyes;
Work it in gold and silver grapes,
In leaves and silver fleurs-de-lys;
Because the birthday of my life
Is come, my love is come to me.
For those who haven't caught on, Amanda is the birthday of my life.
