2 Years in Numbers

2 Years in Numbers

Today, we’re celebrating our 2nd wedding anniversary. Even though we’re a thousand miles apart with limited contact, we can still celebrate the 2 wonderful years of adventures and loving each other.

Family Vacation, Day 1

Saturday, July 4, 2015 Traveling to Pierre, South Dakota One of my big bucket list items for this summer was to go on vacation somewhere with my family.
