Today is my parents' 42nd Wedding Anniversary. Just like all couples who have made a marriage last this long, they have an incredible love story to tell. They have climbed mountains and made their way through valleys the past 42 years making them stronger as a team and as individuals. Their love for each other is rooted in their faith in God and serving him comes first in their lives.
Growing up, my mother always had dinner ready when Daddy got home. We would wait for Daddy to get home and then sit around the table and usually laugh at Josh for being so silly. I never remember a dirty dish being in the sink or dirty clothes in the laundry basket. It always amazed me, and still does, that she can magically get things done! :)
Daddy worked hard to make sure that Josh and I had what we needed and what we wanted. He was firm with us about how we behaved and taught us to always put God first! He is the most generous person I know - making sure that EVERYONE around him is taken care of.
Together they are an amazing couple that spend their time and energy taking care of each other, their kids and grand-kids, and working for YHWH. I couldn't have better parents!!
Happy Anniversary, Mom and Dad! Love you - bunches, more, too, promise!
What a handsome couple...then and now.
