Our own personal Olympian.

This is Patrick, my brother in law.

Anyone who knows Patrick, knows the wonderful person he is. He strives to make right choices, he wants people to be happy, he has a hilarious sense of humor, he loves to watch Basketball, and he is an athlete (to name a few things about him).

Patrick is someone who I love to be around, he silently cares for you, and you can feel it when you are in his presence. Recently he competed at the State Games, and it was a great opportunity to go and cheer him on, and let him know how proud we are to be his family.

And plus, have you ever been to a special olympics state games? They’re fun.

You get to hang out and play games with the Athletes, who keep you smiling,

There is snow cones,

Paramedics (look at Dallin’s smile, he is bursting with happiness!),

Random Gators,

Family,


Awards and medals are handed out on a podium,

And for those of you who don’t know, special olympics will always hold a special place in my heart, as it is the place where I met the man who hold my heart. It’s just a magical place.

It is great to be reminded of the magic that helped me and my sweetheart fall in love. Thanks again Patrick, for striving for excellence, so we could remember the many important things of life.
