We renewed our vows…

On 13 December 2015 Neil and I celebrated our 20th wedding anniversary! I’ve been toying with the idea of renewing my vows for a while and even shared it with my family, who for the most part thought it was a joke, considering we already married. 20 years ago Neil and I didn’t have the elaborate wedding; in fact it was small and intimate with only family and friends.

I’m incredibly blessed to have an amazing husband. He has been the foundation of my happiness from the moment our paths crossed, loves me unconditionally and supports me in every venture I undertake. When I reminisce on the love we share, one thing crosses my mind over and over - that I would marry him in a heartbeat again.

It was a priceless occasion to show love and appreciation to the ones who light up my life.

It’s been a while since I’ve blogged and I cannot come up with any excuses other than to say it’s been a crazy month! What is it about this time of the year that drives us all into maniacs frantically trying to finish all our work projects, sitting in mundane meetings and taking on more than our plates can handle? I’ve honestly been feeling like I’ve been burning the candle at both ends and I’m sure I’m not the only one! And through all this scurrying from one deadline to the next, my blogging ... Read the Post
