i'm so proud of him.  how hard he's worked, how little he's slept, how much he's learned, how much he's grown.

 {our new decorations above our baking table!}

i cannot say it's gone by fast.  moving to birmy three years ago seems like a lifetime ago.  a wonderful, fun, & amazing lifetime ago.

 {mexican lime bars with a graham cracker crust & a hint of spice!

what kind of spice??  sri racha!!

in the whipped cream, in the lime bar, & in the crust.

this might be my favorite thing i've made in awhile.

more spice next time :)}

to everyone who said the greatest thing we could do for our marriage was move away - you were totally right.  it's been amazing & challenging & we've done it all together.
