Happy 14 years! That is a great family picture!! Who took it? Doesn't life fly by? In some ways it is fun to always be looking forward to the next fun thing but sometimes I look back and miss the simpler days. You have a CUTE family.
This girl is happy that Boy and Girl are in their ward and that they are friends. Congratulations on your anniversary! Next year you deserve a big trip.
