was so impressed with the picture of you two that I had no choice but to share it‚ and what better way that via the mail! That night we went out to eat was such a blessing (minus your sushi dinner… maybe we can shoot for BBQ next time) and the Marsh Walk was absolutely beautiful. I was also lucky enough to enjoy the night with Ryan and the two people that raised him to be a man that I can say I trust whole-heartedly.
