this past weekend we went to a cabin at Bear Lake, UT. kevin is the sales team leader for this summer so he planned a weekend team retreat and found this awesome cabin for us to stay in. there were 22 of us, so it was definitely a full house cabin! we stayed up late every night playing mafia, cards, kinnect dancing, eating and talking. it was so fun getting to know everyone better and bonding with them. it made us all more excited about being together this summer in sacramento! so many fun things to look forward to.

i can't imagine life without my husband. he is my better half, my best friend and eternal companion. after dating for 6 months and being engaged for 4 months, i was very confident that i was making the right choice when i decided to become his wife.

one piece of advice i always paid attention to while in the dating scene was this, "how he treats you when you're dating is how he'll treat you when you're married." from day one, kevin has been incredibly thoughtful and always forgiving, along with many other qualities i love about him. neither of those have altered since we've been married. our relationship while dating and now has been healthy and full of respect for each other.


01 Pray together- we are always trying to build our relationship with God to make our marriage stronger

02 Spend quality time/date each other- we try to go on a date every week. need good date ideas? check out our abc dates!

03 Find a hobby we can do as a couple- our recent one was building our coffee table
 
04 Communicate!- this is crucial in building a healthy relationship

05 Never say bad things about your spouse to others- i can't express enough how important this is. whomever you talk to will only remember the bad things about your spouse, not the good things. you wouldn't want your spouse to be saying negative things about you to others.
