This week the Handsome Husband and I had our ten year anniversary. TEN YEARS. Which is mostly weird because it means we've been adults for over a decade. A quick aside: I measure our anniversary from when we started dating, because it's pretty weird to throw half a decade of your life out the window … Continue reading #RelationshipGoals
