It’s What We Do

Twenty-Five Twenty-Fifths

We have been married twenty-five years! Yes, we celebrated it on March 4, 2014, and were able to get away touring some east coast cites earlier this fall, but I figured why not continue the twenty fives with our Christmas card this year. I started a rough draft before March […]
