Eleven Years

It’s our eleven year anniversary this weekend.  Wow.  Where does the time go?  I am grateful every day to have found such an honest, loving, loyal man in Mr. Petrie. Have a great day. p.s. This picture was taken while hiking at the Valles Caldera in northern New Mexico, near Los Alamos.
