24 YEARS!!

Today I celebrate being married to my wonderful husband for 24 years! We dated for over 5 years before we were married and I had a huge crush on him for years before that! I love that God put us together and that I get him for MY husband! He is God loving, patient, an over-achiever, logical and my very best friend!

I love you so much Todd Lee!

Thanks for joining me on this amazing journey....
