Conquering

I keep waiting for Mark to write about his birthday, and I know he will, but I can't wait any longer to say this:

My heart was beating out of my chest, the ocean raged under me, the boat waited far from me, and the dive seemed deep and long in front of me

BUT,

I did it!! I made it into Mariner's Cave! And I am completely and utterly proud!

I have not been that scared or proud in a very long time!
