We are two!

We recently celebrated our 2nd anniversary! We can't believe that its been 2 years already, yet at the same time it feels like this is how it has always been, us together. It's about to get mushy, so if you are not into that thing just skip this post.  I have the best wife in the entire world! She is my biggest fan, strongest supporter, spiritual booster, and even a great fashion coach.  Over the past two years we have grown in many ways as we continue to work together as team. We started off our blog as Team Bate and we still are very much a team. Our teamwork has gotten much better, and we still have lots to learn but we are happy.  We are excited what adventures we face in the next year, but we wouldn't go anywhere unless it's together. 

This year we went down memory lane and had dinner at restaurant we went to on our honeymoon, The Mustang. It sadly was not quite as good as the first time, but we had an enjoyable night out.

We also decided to go to The Chocolate to grab a piece of the type of cake we had at out wedding. It was quite delicious!  

Connect Pass Adventure #6 and Bre's Wedding

We love our Connect Pass! It has been fun to be able have a good variety for our date nights.  We were able to go to the Red Butte Gardens for this Connect Pass Adventure. The gardens were very fun and had lots of things for kids to do in the gardens and since I am kid like I also enjoyed it. The gardens had various plants that used the different senses including feeling different plants, plants that had different smells and labeling which ones were edible. The gardens also had a great view of the valley and we were there around sunset so it was beautiful!

This was our second garden that we went to on our connect pass. The Thanksgiving Point gardens were manicured while the Red Butte gardens wanted to have a more natural look. If we had to choose between the two, we would pick the Thanksgiving Point gardens.

We were also able to attend the wedding of my cousin Breanne in the first part of August. The wedding was held among the backdrop of the beautiful mountains of Colorado. The wedding was held on a secluded property that included a fishing pond, and cabins for family to stay. We were able to spend some time with my extended family, and we really enjoyed building our relationships with them. We also played quite a bit of Farkle, an easy but fun dice game,  as we chatted. The wedding was a beautiful and we were glad to see Bre so happy. We were glad that we were able to be a part of her special day.
