The Sweetest Occasion

Hello, friends! I hope everyone had a great week and is looking forward to the weekend. Here in Syracuse we’ve been blanketed in snow over the last day and we’re looking forward to a weekend of even more snow to come. My husband and I will be closing on our new home on Monday afternoon [...]
