About This Quote

When Angela and Justin were first married, they spent a lot of time apart. Angela had to work and Justin was often traveling for his job. As the two grew closer, the couple decided to spend more time together. They realized that they had missed out on many important moments together during their separation.

Fortunately, they documented all of these precious moments in a spiral notebook. The notebook was small enough to take anywhere but big enough to capture their experiences. The book was also filled with love notes from Angela that told stories about the time she spent with Justin.
