What Happened in April -2

My husband and I at the Oregon Coast. 

 He drove over to spend a nice night away from home...

after my first class for Archery Certification.

We RARELY get to get away! I scored a great price at a simple hotel.. 

We had a nice dinner... then got to see the sun set.. with 3 minutes to spare!

We had a really rough month, as I shared in an early post..update-on-hubby

His MS is terrible to deal with some days.. But he makes the most 

out of each day.  I read his que's when he struggling or needs to let it out.

That day was a good day.  Love you babe! >3
