is that how long it’s been?

6 years ago today we got hitched. it's been a blast. not all of the time, granted, but that's to be expected.the good thing is we haven't entirely gotten sick of each other yet, and still have a good time talking and spending time together. we still like watching movies, and playing games (except word ones, rory hates those), and going places … [Read more...]
