7 Years

  Seven years. That is how long the boy and I have been married. Just typing that makes me feel so old.  I am incredibly blessed to have this man as my life partner. He is the yin to my yang and he truly makes me a better version of myself.

Seriously, it blows my mind.) We usually try to choose a group costume theme, and since my hubby is a huge comic book nerd.. he suggested a Batman villain themed costume party! I thought it sounded so perfect!...
