Better Together


 So it took me forever and a half, but I have finally created a blog yay!!! I am creating this blog for me and Pat and I am going to call it . . . Better Together.  There are some things in life that just go better together than they could ever could be by themselves: peanut butter and jelly, milk and cookies, fat kids and cake,  and I'm sure you can think of way more than I can while I am typing this. But in the short 3 and 1/2 years that I have been married I want to add husband and wife to that list of things that are better together than they ever could be by themselves. Pat and I have gone through thick and thin, fun and not-so-fun,  and we have had some very trying times in our 3 and 1/2years of marriage, but without a doubt I know that we are better together and that we help each other learn how to be a bit better everyday. I love marriage and how it makes each of us grow.  This blog will mostly be to document mine and Pat's adventures together and to share fun memories with family and friends. But I hope that whoever reads it will enjoy life a little more, smile a little wider, live happier, don't forget to laugh, and love more often.  Be warned that a possibly huge upload of photos from our past 3 years might now be added to this blog, to make up for the blogging that I have been missing out on.

I was imitating Pat not smiling in this one, but I still almost smiled. Thanks to my sis at Paige Photography for taking these pics :)  




Pat makes these faces a lot for cameras

This is on our Honeymoon at Ouray. Where the background pic of this blog was taken :) 


















This is also in Ouray, not the most flattering picture but I still like it lol




At a Bee's game


These next pictures are from celebrating our 3 year anniversary on our Caribbean Cruise! It was awesome!

Right before boarding our plane to Florida :)  Bad picture but oh well.

We stayed in a hotel in Florida the first night and brought macaroni and cheese with us to eat to save money ha ha . Totally worth it since we were going to get an endless buffet for the next  7 days.
Our ship: Freedom of the Seas



Mmmmm We had surprise chocolate covered strawberries waiting for us when we got to our room!

Anchors away!

 Our first stop was a private island called CocoCay. We had to take little boats to get to the island.It was gorgeous! And they had a huge, extravagant buffet waiting for us on the island where we could eat whatever we wanted to.

Beautiful CocoCay

That's my man ;)

This place was my happy place. I could've stayed on the sun deck the whole entire time!
I needed to spend a lot of my time here at the track, because we ate buffets everyday, ice cream, snacks, and we ordered lots and lots of room service almost every single night. We ate sooooo much food!



One of our other stops was St. Thomas and we went to a beach called Morningstar Beach. I loved it :) It wasn't crowded at all and it was a little overcast which was good because I was sunburnt already!




I tried to make Pat as short as me, but somehow he still ended up taller! :)

We couldn't go to a beautiful beach and not write in the sand of course


Our last stop was St. Maarten and it was rainy, so we stayed and played on the ship for a lot of that day.




I was horrible at the flowrider. It was really amusing to watch for entertainment though!
Here is the only picture we got during the formal night of the cruise, courtesy of our suitcase


There was also a belly flop contest which Pat participated in. Here is the awesome photo. He did great, he got a 10 from me!

And here is a picture of us at the ice skating show at the ice skating rink that is onboard the ship. Crazy!
It was sooooo nice and we had a good time. My favorite part was just getting to spend a whole entire week together.
