In Lieu of an Anniversary Trip, 23 Things for 23 Years

Today is a big day for BooBoo & the Honey Badger.  Today we've been a mighty, married duo for the same number of years as when we said "I do."

This 23-year adventure hasn't always been an easy one.  But it's been ours, and I think that we've weathered the storms with strength, respect and love.

There's nothing fancy about today.  We're enjoying the quiet, swinging by the Sprinkles to pick-up our favorite red velvet vegan goodness and reminiscing about past adventures (except Jayme keeps bringing up wishful, future adventures; he has the memory of a gnat.).
