While creating a slideshow for the family Christmas party this year, Pedar came across this photo. I believe the year is 2001. We were married just nine months. Pedar is dressed as Nisse, the Norwegian Santa for his family Christmas party. We were living in a cute apartment and paying off our wedding. We went to Italy that April and would buy a house that August. We had no idea what was ahead of us.

Next month we celebrate 15 years of marriage. I am so grateful for love.
