20 Year Anniversary

This year, Brian and I celebrated our 20th anniversary, and I put together hundreds of pictures of our 23 years together to enjoy with the kids that evening. It was a low-key night since we had just done our big trip and I still had Covid, but we celebrated together as a family, had an awesome dinner together, watched a little of our wedding video, and shared stories of this amazingly beautiful life we have built together. I am so very thankful for each and every memory, and can't wait to see what the next 20 bring!

Happy Anniversary, my love 💗

Enjoy just a fraction of our lives together in pictures...

I've loved the amazing memories we've made and the beautiful life we've woven together, and I cannot wait to see what our future holds... If this age progressed photo is accurate, I can't wait to walk on the beach with you in our 70's, 80's and beyond, and looking amazing while we do it!!!!
