2011 was a year of passages!  We were blessed with many safe and fun filled passages around the country; visiting loved ones, new & old friends and places of interest.  We made a formal passage when choosing to add marriage to our partnership and we continue to pursue personal & professional passages; creating a lifestyle that includes living our dreams.
