I can't believe that it is July -- well technically tomorrow is July. This year really has flown by - I keep thinking about where I was in January and not much has changed, but yet at the same time, so much has.
I have to say that I am VERY happy at work right now, which is always a plus and I am just chugging along. Obviously I am super happy with where I am with my diving, even though it would be amazing if I could be underwater all the time, but sadly, I was not born with gills. BUT I am getting in the water a lot and I have a LOT to look forward to in terms of diving.
Next weekend I am heading to Morehead City with TDS to hit some wrecks. The last time I dove NC, it wasn't a GREAT experience, but it wasn't horrible. Apparently the diving in Morehead is really great and the dives are amazing. Everyone that I've talked to has said how much I will enjoy it.
Over Labor Day I am headed to the Bahamas with TDS. This trip is being led by Brian, the same guy who lead the amazing trip to the Keys. We have 19 people on the trip, including my DM buddy Jerome, so I know it will be AWESOME. Plus, I leave the morning after the final reception for the Challenge so it will be a nice celebration for me after (hopefully) another successful GFC.
The big trip coming, which I am OVER THE MOON excited about is Bonaire in October. I was planning on going to Bonaire in July, but I just can't leave the GFC in the middle of the campaign. Thankfully there was a trip scheduled for October and I jumped on it as soon as it was public. I've heard amazing things about Bonaire - it is world class diving - and I mean, seriously who doesn't love a trip to the tropics?!
Before all that I am going to Golden Lake this weekend. No diving there, but it will be a wonderful relaxing weekend. Golden Lake is my family lakehouse that we have been going to ever since I was a baby. Actually, my grandmother went to the house when she was a child, so needless to say, the house is old and has been in our family for generations. It is just the most peaceful, calm, and loving place in the world. I can't wait to go and just sit and read. Ryan, Russet, Jess, Devin and my parents are all going this weekend so it will be a good opportunity to spend time with the brothers. And I get to teach Aubrey to swim (or at least try).
I am SO excited... I have a lot to look forward to during the second half of the year... Yah for 2011.
