I (still) Do
Rambling. Yes, I know. I do have a point.
Nine years ago I never imagined we would be at this point in our lives. Married and about to welcome a child into this crazy world. Part of me still feels like that 17 year old girl again and typing that last sentence scares the poop out of me! Little did I know that the fun and carefree relationship we started as teenagers (well, I was a teenager, ahem) would blossom into this fascinating journey that we are on today. My heart still overflows with love for the charming boy he was when we met and the respectable man he has become over the years.
