Thank you for the awesome opportunities we’ve had to travel and see the beauty you’ve created around us. Thank you for our children and blessing us with them.
Thank you for our marriage and for giving us 11 wonderful years together. Thank you for all the fun times we’ve spent this past year with friends and family and for the blessings they are in our lives.

We look forward to what your plan holds for us in the coming year. We know whatever comes our way, you will be there through it all.
