Cheers to 8 Years!
Back in September, Cory and I celebrated our 8th wedding anniversary and this is the first year since, gosh, 2014 that we weren’t either in Rwanda or gearing up to leave for Rwanda. There is the exception of 2016 (the year Baker was born) but we had a newborn baby and I’m fairly certain there wasn’t much of a celebration that year as we were knee deep in breast pumps, sleepless nights, and dirty diapers.
