Three Years ♥

7.25.09 To celebrate our One Year anniversary, we snuck in a fancy dinner in between two important business trips for Michael (he came home just for the day!)  We spent our Two Year anniversary frolicking in Cannes and living the high life.  Our Three Year anniversary will be spent at home, with take out and a movie because after 5 straight weeks of visitors and the extra 20 lbs.

ECLT: Final Stop – Ipswich/Little Neck!
