two years

two years

I’m a bit late in writing up this post, but I was off celebrating our anniversary with my dear husband. :-) Two years ago today, Paul and I stood in front of our church, our friends, and our family and repeated the sacred vows, promising to be committed to each other for the rest of our lives.

happy birthday to AJ

I have like 2 minutes to get a post up before I miss my little brother’s birthday. :-) I thought I’d repost something I wrote two years ago for him when he turned 21!

It seems hard to believe. Just 21 years ago, I was in the hospital asking my…
