A Year of Firsts




Here's to the best year of our lives. Thanks to our families for their unconditional and unwavering support. Thanks to our friends for sticking by us when we're just not as fun as we used to be. Thanks to our babies for being the most amazing little people I have ever met.

This year hasn't been easy, but it hasn't been hard either. It is true that there was very little that we could do to prepare for what lay ahead of us, but it is also true that sometimes you have to just sit back and enjoy the ride. I would not change one minute of our journey.

It's been exciting, it's been fun, and at times it has been a little stressful. I've always said we have an amazing love that could withstand anything. That is true more so now than ever. Somehow not knowing what the heck you are doing together, at least, makes it a whole lot more doable. Go figure.
