The Perfect Fall Wedding

We’ve officially added to our family!
As I wrote a few weeks ago, my husband and I have been considering adopting another dog. We lost our sweet Reilly (our beagle of 14 years) to cancer in May.

I love the song Unanswered Prayers by Garth Brooks. I can’t believe it, but the song is more than 25 years old now. I think it’s staying power isn’t just thanks to the way Garth sings it, but really the words he crafted. For those that can’t recall the song, give it a listen. I… Continue reading Unanswered Prayers
