Two weekends ago B and I celebrated our 1-year wedding anniversary! 🙂 That sounds like such a small amount of time, but in that year, we've moved twice, dealt with unemployment and new jobs, bought a house, and a slew of other day-to-day stuff.

Ceiling Fan Masters!
We are MASTERS of installing ceiling fans. Masters. Two weekends ago, it was hotter than the gates of hell. Mid to high 90's and humid.
