Celebrating you today!!  My best friend.  Another year of knowing, loving and living life with you!!  You have given me the world, just by existing in it.  Xoxo I love you.  Happiest of Birthdays!!!  “We’re so arrogant, aren’t we?

We spent memorial day and have been spending evenings on the boat eating dinners hanging out on the dock. We decided Thursdays were boat-dinner-get-togethers with our family who are at the same marina, so hoping for that to become a new tradition. Kind of like a pot luck.  Ben and I slept over on our boat Saturday night without kids to try it out before we loaded them on for an overnight trip. Neither of us could sleep, the waves were loud against the boat and we were worried we were drifting away. BUT it was a lot of fun. We anchored, then went and took our...
