Last week I was sent some pictures from my Grandmother’s Sister and Husband who recently celebrated their 60th Wedding Anniversary.  60 YEARS!?! Holy crap that is a long time and something you do NOT see very often these days.  I’m so proud to have family members who can be that example of what a long and happy marriage can be.  I don’t often get to see these family members as it seems to be only at family reunions every 3-4 years but from what I know, they have an absolutely wonderful marriage and have withstood the test of time.  I’m sure they’ve been through some thick and thin areas as do most couples but it’s how those events are handled that makes a marriage of 60 years work. 

I am inspired by this and look to be the same kind of example for not only my kids but my kids kids and hope they too live out long happy marriages.  Congrats Helen and Bob, all the best to you guys as you move into your 61st year!

Lots of Love!
