Escapades Banner

Welcome to the timeline of us: our life together starting from the moment we met. If you scroll all the way to the bottom, that’s the very beginning and the best place to start. As we have new experiences and make new memories, we can add to the collection. You’ve always been there for me and I’m eternally grateful for that. I hope this shows just how much you mean to me, and how much you have always meant to me throughout our lives. Happy almost birthday, bear.
