Morning Adventure!

So, this morning Joel and I were able to spend a little time together so we thought we'd go exploring in Cinci. I took a bunch of cool pictures of the city and the painted murals on the walls.

So.....enjoy! :)Us practicing our modeling skills.........don't worry, we won't quit our day jobs! haha.

Here is one of the murals painted on the wall. They have tons all along a huge wall by the river and they are all about Cincinnati's history. It's way cool!

One thing I love about here is all of the cool bridges! There are so many and they all look aweseome!

This is when we were driving across. I tend to stick my arms and hands out the windows to get good pictures :)

What we are up to in KENTUCKY...

Cincinnati City at Night!

Well, for all of you who don't know, we are currently living in Kentucky! Pretty exciting huh? Well, I don't know if I'd go that far...ha ha jk. Life is good and it brings different adventures our way every day.

Sunday is definitely our favorite day! Not only do we get to go to church and enjoy the Sabbath, we also get to spend the whole day together and that is very rare! Joel is a hard working man and works every day (except Sunday) from 12-10:30pm and Saturdays he works all day. And I work 9am-6pm about every day. So we definitely love the quality time when we get it!

Last night was a lot of fun. We invited some of our friends over for dinner and Joel made us his famous curry! It was soooo good! He did a great job! I hope you notice the nice candle lit atmosphere and all the mismatched plates! :) Oh you gotta love the life of newly weds! haha. We sure keep ourselves entertained! :) :) Plus all the guests were bachelors so they didn't mind the kitchens mismatched decor....they probably didn't even notice as long as they were full of food! :) haha these are the kind of guests I like :)

Then after we all had big bowls of ice cream and watched the sunset. That is one thing about good old Kentucky, we have an awesome view from our apartment of the beautiful sunset and you can see the city of Cincinnati. It was great to have a relaxing day together and then friends over for dinner! Love you Honey!

ItALy and SwiTzeRLaNd adventure!

There is sooo much I need to catch up on! So, I will do it a little at a time! First I will tell you about our trip to Italy and share some pictures with you! First of all, it was absolutely amazing and we had so much fun! We started our trip off in New York for a day and then headed over to Milan, Italy. New York was fun! While we were there we got to see Time Square, Central Park, the Temple, and lots of tall tall buildings! Its was a really quick stay, but still fun! Then we headed off to Italy! When we first got there we went straight off to see the Duomo. It was amazing!!! It was humongous and sooooooo beautiful! Everywhere you go the buildings are awesome! They are so big and breath taking!

Milano is really big and for all you who don't know, its the fashion capital of the world! Sweet huh? Joel and I went off exploring and we found the shopping industry that every one crazes about! And it was pretty fantastic! There were Porsche's and Ferrari's everywhere! I felt like we just stepped into a magazine! Yeah....it was that cool! ha ha. There was every high end shop you could think of! It was so cool to see and so fun to explore! ......thanks for humoring me Joel! :)

Next we went to Venice! And yes....it is all it's cracked up to be! The canals that go through everything are amazing and the old buildings are phenomenal!

I'll just stop talking and let the pictures say the rest....

After Milan and Venice we traveled over to Genova. That is the area that Jan served his mission. We got to tour all around and see all the cool attractions. Then we went on an amazing hike along the Mediterranean through little old villages. The view was amazing and the hike was so much

fun! Robbie (one of Jan's investigators and friend from Genova) took us on this beautiful hike and told us all the history about the villages and buildings. It was awesome!

Now it's off to Switzerland! It is so beautiful there! Once again....I will let the pictures talk. :)

We hiked all these stairs and more to the top of the Swiss Alps. The stairs were never ending! Literally....there was no end :) It was so fun though! We took a bus up to the mountain, then hiked up the rest! (I didn't know what was in store for that day as you can see....Italian sandals are definitely not hiking boots! ha ha). But I made due! :)

View from the top!!!! WHoo Hooo!

The Pains of Marriage...

Well I figure our new blog is now plenty cute with all the new wedding pictures and pictures of Chantell. I wanted to let everyone know how our everyday married life is going. First of all we both Love it! We have tons of fun and everyday is a an adventure. I want to tell a little humorous story to explain how marriage is an adventure. (Well we thought it was funny at least...)
So we were sleeping last night and I randomly lashed out and HIT/PUNCHED my lovely sleeping wife right in the back!!! Chantell screamed out "Ouch!! What the heck!!? And I said "I thought it was Blu (my family's cat)!" Well in my dream I was fighting my family's cat Blu, or protecting myself from him. Anyone reading this might need to understand the relationship Blu and I have. Blu is my Nemesis! Well after the punching episode, Chantell was wide awake, I can't imagine why, and she was laughing hysterically. While I was laughing all I could say was "honey you gotta stop laughing, I am way too tired to laugh!" But as tired as I was I couldn't stop laughing either.
Anyways I guess you could say the moral of the story is, marriage is amazing and random. I love being with my best friend soo much! I will just have to sleep a little further away from her from now on. But.... We'll see how long that lasts! :)
