I wish I were better at writing out the experiences but pictures will have to do since this was so long ago. For the most part I think a picture is worth a thousand words. However there are some stories that don't have pictures so those stories will have to be shared another time. Although these pictures don't show it, we did have our ups and downs but I like to focus on the blessings and good times while simply remember the lessons learned from the hard times. I don't want pictures of those.
