Dear Husband, on this our 5 year and one week wedding anniversary, I can't think of any other way I'd rather spend it than passing time together and listening to Prairie Home while trying to outrace the Oregon rains to paint our home's exterior BY HAND. Thanks for taking the leap with me, on marriage and the aubergine paint color! I promise it will not look like a 2 story tall grape.
