Where is my beautiful wife?

Once upon a time, Alex was born. At some point, he decided that eating was good. So he did. And it was good.

Gena has lived in more countries than many of us have visited, but when she tells people where we went for our first trip together… she has to say “Belgium.”

I mean, seriously. Most people don’t even have pictures of their significant other drinking a Cantillon let alone walking down the hallowed steps from their grain storage attic.

What a sport.

Well folks, here it is.

We all knew it was coming, but not the specifics. A fella asks a question and hopefully, a lady says yes. And that’s why we’re all here.

Cheers!
