My parents were married on May 20, 1969. It was the day before my mom turned 18, and my dad was home on military leave. They moved all around the country as my dad was transferred between different Army bases. They were young, and in love, and that was all that mattered.
I feel so blessed to have the greatest parents in the world who have been married 40 years! From watching them over the years, I have learned the importance of love and patience in my own marriage. I have learned that things won't always be perfect, but as long as you have the other person by your side, you can get through anything. And most importantly, I have learned (I hope) how to be a good parent. My parents have always been there for me and my sister, and if I can just take a little of that and apply it to my own children, they will be as lucky as me...

This weekend we had a party to celebrate my parents 40th Wedding Anniversary! We had the party at my sister's house and had a great time with great friends! Their friends told a lot of stories about my parents, and my dad told stories about how they met, their first date, etc. It was so sweet!
