We recently celebrated our 7th wedding anniversary and so I thought it would be fun to post some photos from our wedding. That’s us. This was my bouquet. So amazingly beautiful. And heavy. The reception hall. All white. The flowers were amazing. I do not have words to describe how stunning the flowers were (thanks, Mom and Pa).

Art class.The kids are working on their Andy Warhol-esque paintings. They could choose 5 colors and they mixed them all by themselves (makes me so proud!)
