Memory Lane

Today, we celebrate seven years together. It doesn't seem like such a long time, considering those that have been married much, much, much, MUCH longer than us. But when we sit back and think about how far we've come, "seven," all of the sudden, seems like such a big number.

Would you care to reminisce with us??
