From the moment we found out we were expecting a boy, we’ve joked with our best friends that our son would grow up to marry their daughter Rose. The relationship was off to a promising start, until Wednesday when Rose decided to marry her friend Logan instead. Poor Noah. 🙂 But he doesn’t need to be disheartened because…
"Initial" Inspirations
