August 29, 2020 was nothing short of a dream. After a year of planning through a pandemic, Cameron and I could not have asked for a better celebration of God’s love and His work in our relationship. We are officially Mr. and Mrs. Smith! Our biggest dream for our wedding day was to show God […]
I have to admit that I love buying Christmas presents way more than I like wrapping them in pretty packages.
