Happy 6th Anniversary!!!!

Six years ago today I married my supportive, funny, and patient husband!! Each year, the time has flown by faster and faster. This past year has been just as busy...a trip to Colorado and California, Cubs games, Bears game, pool parties, celebrating births and birthdays, our baptisms, and too many to count infertility appointments. I feel so blessed to have Jason as my husband for lifetime. Looking forward to many more years together!!
