Happy 40th Anniversary Mom and Dad!

On Saturday my sister, Corryn, and I threw a get-together for our parents. Mom and Dad, John and Sharon, joined in wedded bliss 40 years ago on August 25th, 1967. Ok,
so bliss it wasn't always but they have done a great job in modeling what a loving, Christian marriage is supposed to look like. In a world where divorce is becoming more common than staying married, I am so proud of them, that even through the difficult times, they have overcome. I remember as a child, when friends parents were divorcing, always wondering if that would happen to my parents. I am so blessed to only have two sets of parents, Shannon's and my own. Thanks Mom and Dad, for loving each other and supporting each other for so long. I pray for many, many more happy years together!

Yup! They still kiss!

Beautiful pictures of a beautiful family I'm so grateful to know. I'm thankful for the same, having "two sets of parents" myself. It is indeed becoming a rarity. It was lovely to see you all on Saturday, and I hope it isn't long before I see you again. It's a privilege to keep up with you through your blog even though we don't see you guys often.

What a lucky girl you are to have your parents still married! It stinks to have your parents divorced. And remarried, and divorced, and remarried and divorced and remarried.
Donnie's parents are still married, too. But they don't still kiss as far as I can tell, lol.
Congrats to your parents!

Can you believe my dad is going to be 60 this year?
