It has not been a bed of roses for us; however, we see the Lord\u2019s hand in our day-to-day life.<br \/>\nAs has been our tradition to write a rather detailed article at the end of every month; this time, instead, I would like to make a flashback on our little journey covered so far. I&#8217;ll post a few photos to help illustrate the most significant moments of our journey right from the time we first met in Italy up to date.
