My favorite birthday pic! Mar 26 2001 (ur 30th birthday) Hosting our 1st party in this house. You were gifted a kid's karoke machine & silliness took over.
I love that no matter what life throws at us or even if we're mid-fight laughter creeps in. Let's keep laughing!

I love going to see my doctor!
We talk about my health, sure.
