Valentine’s Day
“I love my extended family so much! This is only about a third of my cousins, aunts, and uncles at my cousin’s wedding in Florida a couple weeks ago. We really needed a chance to get together and celebrate and be joyful after 3 deaths in the family last year— the most we’d ever experienced.”

Out & About
“This is what I love, my husband and our best friends. Married 35 years this November, and best friends for 30+ years (Mark and Amy Kennedy). Our anniversaries are 2 days apart, so we tend to travel together. Cancun, Nov. 2022. BFFs for life!”
