Lauren and I have built many memories over the past 5 years of living in Cleveland. And here are just a few of the many photos to prove it:

When Jonathan proposed to me on April 14th, 2007
Lauren was there taking pictures.
She was the first person I got to giggle with about being engaged.

Even though it is the end of a chapter in our lives, I know we will have many more memories to come.
And as Dr. Seuss perfectly stated, "Don't cry because it's over. Smile because it happened." {Although I have to admit I shed a few tears while gathering these photos for this post...}
You are loved, Lauren. And you will be greatly missed!
