8 years

Today is mine and Paul’s 8th Wedding Anniversary! There is so much that I could write about that has happened over the last years.  Memories that flood my thoughts as I look back.  Facebook did a lovely job of putting together a video with photos of our last 8 years. The photos are wonderful, but
