Forty-three Years!

Today, my parents have been married 43 years! I really wanted to scan in a picture of their wedding day, but it's still in a box, that I haven't unpacked and I don't want to take the time to search for it. I might do that a little later and add the picture later. I believe these pictures were taken in their early years of marriage.


It is a true blessing to have parents that are still married and are honoring the commitment they made to each other on their wedding day. I remember as a child, becoming aware of divorce and how many friends' parents were divorced or were divorcing. I must have shared my concern with my mom, because I can remember to this day, her promising that her and dad would never get divorced. I held onto that promise all through my childhood. I never worried about it. I took my mom at her word.



There are times were they are "grouchy" with each other. There have been times I've wondered how they could live with each other. But they are an honorable example of loving each other and staying committed to the one they made vows to.

Happy Anniversary

and thank you both for loving each other

and loving us girls in your own ways.

I LOVE you!

It's pretty sad to say, but this was the last picture of us all as a family. It was taken June 2007.
