I know that the title of this post is a big statement, especially considering the events comprising the first Easter.

Here are some things you ought to know about Josh. First of all, he’s great! Second of all, he loves trips to warm weather and Disney. So, to escape January in Utah, we took a trip to Florida to enjoy warmer weather with David’s family and hit up some Disney while we were there! It […]
