My brother and his wife Aja, the ones who have been living by us in the desert (and then moved away:(, put on a wedding last week. Yep, their daughter got married, and it was such a beautiful day! Love this new couple. Loved seeing these two cousins who have grown up together as bride…
I think I mentioned before that I got to be with Max on his birthday. Yep. My niece got married that same day, so it was just a giant party I tell you! I got in super late the night before and Grace picked me up. Being the good-birthday-idea-girl she is, we rounded up some…
