We would like to share some memories with everyone from the past, but since we just celebrated 4 years together, catching up on all those photos may take a while! I will start from 2006 and work my way to the present! Here it goes…

After a week of trying to decide on a blog name we both liked, Casey and I finally decided on one! We will post pictures of fun things going on in our lives and day to day happenings. Hopefully we can keep everyone up to date! Enjoy!
