Home

Lauren and I have a very modest starter home. Here is a picture of what it looked like when we first moved in.

We plan on making some improvements to it, but for now it fits us very well.

Spearfishing

I spearfish… and I love it. It’s one of my favorite pastimes and something I’m hoping to do more in the future. Here is my latest catch.

A friend of mine introduced me to spearfishing about a year ago. After shooting my fist fish I immediately knew that I had a new hobby. It just adds an element of excitement in your life that fishing with a rod & reel cannot... something about being amongst the fish while you hunt them. When you free dive (which is what we do) you have to be able to dive down to the fish and once you shoot them you have to fight them to the surface. Then you have to fend off the barracuda and sharks as you swim your catch back to the boat. There is just a more primal feel to it than sitting on a boat waiting to get a bite. I love seafood, but there is no better tasting fish than one you just swam after, shot and fought back to the boat... not to mention fish just tastes better fresh.

Lauren just likes holding the gun.

Got hitched!

So… it’s been awhile since I posted last. Let me rephrase… it’s been a year since I posted last. I’m not apologizing, there has been a lot going on. I got married! What a lucky man I am to be married to this beautiful, kind and intelligent Godly woman. Here are some pictures to let you in on the last year of my life.

Here is my "walking dream"... her name is Lauren.

She puts up with my fascination with tractors and all things tractor related.

I love her family.

This was an amazing day.

Here we are... The Collins Family!
