The last days of the Maggi TWO

It has recently hit me (like a ton of bricks) that after 4 more weeks, the TWO of us will become THREE and it will never be just us TWO again. I have been reflecting on the past 8 years of our relationship (5 years of it married) So, to reflect, celebrate, and to close this chapter of our lives, I invite you to take a look at some pictures from our past.

These two pictures were taken at Christmas time….. either last year, or the year before. . . I am having trouble remembering.  I am THINKING two years ago.. from old computer 1644 from old computer 1722

As you can see, after we got married, we stopped taking so many pictures together. We have enjoyed our time together. . and even though I know the chapter of just us two is ending, I am so sure that we will love our little boy and any other children to come, that it will just add to the romance…Or, well, so I hope. :)

We love you guys for reading our blog of our life together, and hope that things get even more interesting to read when Daniel arrives in a few SHORT SHORT weeks. :)

Love to you all.

Merry Christmas- -

and a happy new chapter to you as well. :)

Dennis looks like Obama in the "Night before we were married..." pic.
Age has treated him well, so maybe there's hope for me. Tell him no need to thank me!
awaiting word to see if you can guess who this is from...
