this is just a few of the things we've done & learned along the way... but we're three & a half years in & i am happier now that i said yes to luke when he proposed than i was that night {& i was really happy then} because on my best and worst days... there's no one who loves me more [even knowing my worst flaws]. it's good to love & be loved.
happy 3 & 1/2 years luke:)
forever & ever kg
