I feel so lucky to get to live in one of the most beautiful places in the world (in my opinion) and this past weekend my husband and I celebrated our fifth wedding anniversary.

Before last week I'd never been there either. ... Read the Post

If you missed the first post in this series you can read it here! Now fast forward a year.

They told me to take a couple of hours to think about ... Read the Post
