Josh's 26th Birthday was yesterday. We celebrated with family at our house. The guys helped Josh work on finishing the basement and the girls cooked up a storm in the kitchen. The house was filled with the smells of good food and the sounds of laughter and good times. I wanted to take a moment and look back on life and recall the four and half years Josh and I have been married. I wanted to take time to remember my wonderful husband. Looking back my mind is flooded with thousands of pictures that each have a story. Here are just a few (26) memories that came to mind...
