Test Postive for Coronavirus!
My husband has sadly tested positive for Coronavirus...we think he got it from his job. We live with my parents, so he and I will be quarantining in our rooms for the next two weeks.

I feel like the holidays are both amazing but also kinda emotional at the same time and let me explain why.
