Our Journey to Olivia Video

Hello! While we were in China, Philip put together a wonderful video capturing a few special moments of our trip. Please make sure that the sound is working on your computer. The song is "When Love Takes You In" by Steven Curtis Chapman. I hope you enjoy this as much as I do.

Have a great evening!

Here's the link in case the embedded video doesn't show on your screen:
