My Marine Man

My husband is in LOVE with the ocean!! He seriously could and does spend hours and hours just swimming and floating on the water looking for anything and everything he can find in the deep blue. Felisha asked him yesterday what he loved more, going to the beach or going camping? For anyone who knows Jared in the slightest knows he would chose to be a mountain man 24/7 if he could but he actually had to stop and think about it. Camping won but not by much. I have to say, I like the beach but am kind of glad we don't live anywhere near one normally or my hubby would be MIA!
Here he is playing football in the water while holding his diving gear (he can only stop adventuring for so long).

We have been to the beach at least 5 or 6 times since moving to Florida and I'm pretty sure Jared has discovered something new to show me or tell me about every time he returns from his voyage in the waters! He has also convinced me to snorkel which I have never done (I'm slightly hydrophobic I think). I loved it! He has shown me how amazing the water can be and I am so happy I am married to a man that can teach and show me new things!
Here are just a few of the things J has caught while venturing in the ocean:
A lovely crab @ Boca Raton.A little fish that looked like it was dying and Jared tried to save it.A sand dollar that is almost completely whole!Yeah, a freakin' jelly fish!! Yikes!A lobster @ Key West that put up quite a fight. I actually participated with this one!
Jared or both of us have also seen pike fish, tuna, little colorful tropical fish, sea urchins, clam shells, Jared has collected so many pretty sea shells, and has seen a few sting rays that he has actually thought about catching, crazy guy! I actually think if he saw a shark he would swim TOWARDS it!
And this is typical Jared after a day of swimming and adventuring at an office BBQ hoovering down a 5 patty *with cheese burger! Sick!!
