So I have not blogged in awhile! And I’m not very good at it so this is just gonna be one huge blog post with like the last year all combined into one post! Warning! This could get very long!

| These pictures are going to be very out of order...just how they uploaded and after trying to fix it for a while I gave up. In February, Rachel and Elizabeth traveled with Angelé down to SD. To visit Ben Emily and Cedric and so that Matt and and Angelé could get their engagement pictures done. Here is Rachel and Cedric doing some baking together! |
