heres two neat things:
went to belize this summer. got to snorkel at the second largest barrier reef in the world.
my trip hiking and camping out west in 2001. i had never done anything like it before. i hiked into the grand canyon, saw many a sunset that was more spectacular than the last, was able to see nothing for miles and miles.

Probably carried my children for 9 months and given birth to them. I cannot tell you the incredible feeling you get when that baby is first presented in front of you. It's amazing! Then to really look at a little person that has bits and part of you in them...cool. I felt it most when I first saw Nole2 and realized that she looked just like me.

Ya carry them inside for 9 f'in months and they pop out lookin' like their Daddy.  No fair!
