Best Anniversary Gift Ever!

"My husband surprised me and filled a book with 13 years of memories and photos of our wedding, travels, and life - then wrote captions and love notes on each of the pages, and filled the pockets in the front and back cover with our collection of past anniversary cards to each other. What a precious and beautiful book!"
