Happy Anniversary

          Today is a special day, my wonderful parents are celebrating their 37th wedding Anniversary. Some of you may think this is a long time, some of you may think not, I am just happy they are still together and here in my life. I am not saying they don't have their troubles which they do but it goes away faster then when it arrives. I think that it helps that my parents tend to talk about everything, when my Father comes home from work even if its after dinner and we all have eaten my Mother still sits with him at the table and they talk about his day or whatever is on his mind. I think this is sweet and every couple no matter how busy should do this. On my Dad's days off they have what I call 'Hunny Time' heck all I know is that sometimes they come home with groceries or they come back after picking up my boy from school, all I know is that's their alone time to talk or just spend time together. My parents actually have two Anniversaries and the other is when they married by church on March of 1999, I was lucky enough to be my Mother's maid-of-honor and my little brother was my Father's's best man. I remember this day, it was fun and the look on my Father's face when he turned to see people in the church pues, whom he did not expect,needless to say he was surprised he had made it clear that no one was to know but the imidiate family. Well unbeknownst to my Dad, my grandmother was so excited that she told the EXTENDED family! So needless to say we had the best reception party ever, well more like BBQ reception at our house, my Uncle and Aunt and various other relatives had gone to the trouble to have food and everything ready, and since I was in on it I expertly cleaned the house intermittently through the week between classes and work and papers due. Either way the day was priceless, the bummer was that we did not record the party but we do have remembrance of the wedding so my Dad can not deny it. haha I think that another thing that keeps my parents so happy and still together LAUGHTER my Dad jokes with my Mom and we all joke around together, not that we are not also serious but we know when to be and when not to be. I kinda sound a but Shakespearean there don't I? Well to end my ranting or bragging whatever I am to say this, if you are meant to be with the one your with that's great make it work, if you are married or are to be married then remember that life brings you ups and downs, you have to work it through and remember always keep laughing and communicate. Peace and God Bless you all....
     HAPPY ANNIVERSARY MOM AND DAD!!!!!

  1. I wish i knew your family back in 1999, sounds like a wonderful time that i can only hope i can have one day. I got teary eyed reading the last few sentences about what real love is, and you're right, it's not always walking on sunshine but knowing that if there's love and commitment assigning can be worked out. Congratulations to your Mom and Dad :-)
