Okay, here’s the story. Tim and I had gone to Louisville for our anniversary a few years back to get away from the kids and everything. We ended up at the Muhammad Ali Center and we were both just blown away by the history, by the struggle. When they asked us to pose for the requisite tourist shot, we both automatically struck a power to the people pose. If you live in Kentucky and still don’t understand why Black Lives Matter, visit the Ali Center and get some perspective. Silence is compliance. #blacklivesmatter #justiceforbreonnataylor #muhammadalicenterwatch #muhammadali #muhammedalicenter

No going out for our 30th last night due to many things, including Covid, but Tim got me a gorgeous bouquet from @alastingimpressionflorist and made what I was craving: Massaman curry. I supplied the Freixenet which was free flowing at our wedding (and for a week after, which wasn’t always for the best! 😂), but we survived...and then some. Love you @timungs ❤️❤️❤️!!! #happyanniversary
