We would like to invite everyone to our 10 year anniversary party! We will be hosting it on Sunday, June 14th at Jess’ house! We wanted to wait until the summer months so we can make it outside (mainly so we can have more of this ^^)🤩
Please let us know by commenting, messaging or signing up in the office if you plan to attend! We would also LOVE to see all of our kids who have gone onto college (and even graduated from college 🫣) as well as their families! So please let us know if you can make it!
