Happy Anniversary
Today Gary and I celebrate our 11 year wedding anniversary and 12 years together! It’s crazy that it still feels like we just got married and I love him more today than the day we got married feel blessed about that! The dude still gives me butterflies!
We got married in Boulder City Nevada at Chapel of the Holy Family a Southwestern style chapel on a 25 acre ranch called St. Jude Ranch that helps abused and neglected children, it’s pretty cool cause anyone that gets married there at least when we did all those years ago they put the money you pay toward helping the kids at the ranch.
Anywhoo the cake we had that night at our Wedding dinner was Red Velvet Cake one of our favs!! So I thought I would make some red velvet cupcakes for us and Amanda,Sunday is Mothers Day and Amanda is a mommy and she also loves red velvet!
