When a hen ‘do’ turned into a hen ‘don’t’
I did something I haven’t done in about 9 years recently – and I was SO excited!
… until my POTS came along and dropped a steaming turd all over it, that is.
First Wedding Anniversary
We made it to one year as Mr & Mrs! Whoop whoop! Here, I’ve created a short video and written something a little different to my norm, in the hopes of capturing the sunshine, shit-storms, and rainbows along the road to reaching this milestone.
