25. Take Lucy to Jamaica to show her where we got married.

Seven years ago today I married my favorite person in the world. He’s still my favorite and I love him more today than I did 7 years ago.

We got married in a little fishing village in Jamaica called Treasure Beach. It was amazing. I want to share that with Lucy too.

Here are our anniversary flowers that I picked out at the Farmer’s Market. My favorite-peonies and alliums.

In very sad news, my Zoe kitty died peacefully in her sleep today. I made an appointment to have her put down today but when I went to get her, she had already died. We were able to give her lots of love before she went and I know that it was her time to go.

It’s hitting me much harder than I thought it would. I’m really sad but I know that she had a happy life with me.
