Oh #430....one of my favorite songs EVER. I read this and chills covered my legs as the words began playing in my head.
The photos are so sweet and I am so glad that your weekend was filled with love, conversation, food, family time, and sweet memory making.
And that video cracks me up EVERY TIME!!!
This is a great list! I truly believe you and Vipul are being so faithful in following God that He is going to bless you beyond what you can imagine now. Keep your eyes on Him.
