Meeting Laura was the best surprise I ever received. However, it almost didn't happen.
I’ve got sunshine on a cloudy day! In a few more months, we will be wed in May! I’d guess you’d say, “What can make me feel this way?” Laura! I’m in love. Sorry for the mushy stuff here, but really, you can’t blame me! If you experienced feelings similar to how I feel about […]
