Celebrating 10 Years In Paris

When we found out that we would have a layover in Paris, we took advantage and decided to celebrate our 10 year anniversary in Paris by tacking on an extra day. Not only did we catch up on sleep before meeting our sweet little girl, we had a great time just being us together.

I love this guy. I couldn't imagine life with anyone else. Our wedding was magical and every day since has been a great adventure.
