Today is my parent's wedding anniversary. This marks 47 years for them. I'm sure there were lots of difficulties in that many years of marriage, but they have stuck it out--together--and I honor that achievement today. They are also a great example of putting each other first and working toward something together.
They began this adventure together when they were both pretty young. I'm sure they had some exciting and fun times but they also knew that marriage was a commitment and, through thick and thin, they have lives their commitment to each other.
It is a nice legacy to me. Genius Golfer and I will celebrate 19 years married this spring, and some days it feels like it has just flown past, but other times each day feels like a bog to get through. Our communication and attitude determine the differences and the combinations of those times two people, can be pretty vacillating at times. But, I know I am in it for the long haul--the good, the bad, and the ugly.
Just like my parents! Happy Anniversary, Mom and Dad. I love you and thank you for the example you have set for us.

Happy anniversary to your folks! How lucky they are to still have each other. You look so much like your beautiful mom :) I hope to some day reach 47+ years with my honey ;D
I didn't know your parents anniversary was so close to my parent's anniversary. They were married on the 12th of Jan of 57. Isn't it wonderful to have such a great example?
