January 28th is a very special day and I intend to spoil my Chris silly for our very first birthday together, physically in the same country. Hope you’ll join me in wishing him a wonderful birthday and a spectacular year. I won’t tell you how old, that’s up to him, but I’m still with a [...]
Thanks Chris for making my inaugural Australia Day so enjoyable! Australians really know how to celebrate their fair country…their love and patriotism were obvious everywhere today.
