Happy 40th!!!




I couldn't let the month of September pass by without paying homage to my wonderful parents who celebrated their 40th wedding anniversary this month. Being married only 5 years, I realize this is no small feat--marriage is hard at times and constantly a work in progress but they are great role models.  Throughout the years I have learned so much from the two of them.

They've taught us how to argue effectively.  


How to laugh at ourselves (and I should also add here the importance of a good education.)
They've shown me how to be a better and more patient parent.




They've taught us that amazing experiences in life far outweigh amazing material things. We never had the most impressive wardrobe growing up but I can bet you we had some of the best family vacations!



Most importantly they taught us to always stick together...
 




 ...and the true meaning...
...of love!
 
Here's to 40 more fabulous years together! Love you!
