05.05.2023 Happy anniversary (and Cinco de Mayo) t 05.05.2023 Happy anniversary (and Cinco de Mayo) to these lovely birds.  So glad they found each other in orientation at UTEP. They have weathered some storms. But like a good Timex watch they've taken a licking and kept on ticking. 

I love you both and those precious babies you've cooked.
