Welcome to our blog! My name is April and on October 19th 2012, I married my best friend Paul for time & all eternity.

It all started when we were both just 16 years old. Yeah, one of those crazy high school romances that actually made it! We went to school together. He baptized me, I sent him off on a mission, we wrote each other, I waited, he came home, we got engaged, and now we're happily married! And for the last 5 1/2 years we've only grown to love each other more and more with every day that passes.

So far, this journey has been so rewarding filled with fun, laughter, and yes even tears here and there. Every moment is worth it. We hope you guys will enjoy taking this journey through marriage and life with us.

Ensenada & Carnival Inspiration

On the third day we docked in Ensenada, Mexico. Completely different look and feel from Catalina Island. I prefer Catalina a lot more. The last time I went on a cruise with my family to Ensenada it was more busier and there were definitely a lot more people walking around and ships by the port. It was completely dead this time around. We later found out that Carnival was the only cruise line that docked from Long Beach and goes to this part of Mexico anymore. As sketchy as that sounded we were assured that we were still safe to roam around and that nothing would happen to us so we didn't let that ruin our fun day.

We ended up going on a group tour to go see the "La Bufadora" and to do a little bit of shopping at the market. The people at the market are CRAZY!!! Ha I wish that we would have taken a video at all the people trying to sell us stuff because everything was "99% off"....right. Bargaining with them was the best. We also enjoyed some amazing homemade tacos while we were there. Yum!


As fun as Catalina Island and Ensenada was we were ready and excited to spend our last day of the cruise on the actual ship.

 The staff was so nice and always willing to help us and direct us to where we wanted to go. We got to enjoy some pretty awesome shows and most of all we were just grateful to finally be able to get some some sun and relax together after our crazy fun wedding.




We were so sad when the time finally came for us to go back to reality and head back home. Paul had never been on a cruise before and this was just my second one. I think it's safe to say that another cruise sometime in the near future is in the works. Caribbean's maybe?? We'll see! I'm also very grateful for the man that I get to wake up to everyday and call my husband. It's been a long time coming and it wasn't always easy but it has been sooo worth it. Now the real fun begins! :)



Bye, bye honeymoon....Hello married life!
