Since tomorrow is my parents 35th Wedding Anniversary, I wanted to say a little something and show off one of my all time favorite photos. I've always loved this picture of them. It feels like you caught them in this little moment, the one right at the beginning when you start to fall in love. (kinda cheesey, I know but oh, well...)I have such a soft spot for those two kids just starting out, for some reason this picture helps me put things into perspective. To recognize that we all started out somewhere and that we are forever growing and changing. I know, it's a lot to get from such a little picture but that's how it's always struck me.
My Mom and Dad met in high school when they were 17 and dated their senior year. They waited an unheard of 5 years before they got married when all of their friends were getting married right out of high school. Amazingly, they waited another 5 years to have me at 27 years old they were considered very old to be having children. People just didn't wait that long!
I think that all of the waiting is what made their marriage so strong. They got to know each other and themselves before they committed to a life together and to raising a child together. I consider myself pretty luck to have them as parents and to be able to continually witness their love for one another.
Thanks Mom and Dad and here's wishing many, many more anniversaries to come!

This is so sweet! They look so young and in love.
I'm hoping your waiting theory works for Brian and I. We dated for 6 years before we got married, then waited 4 more before having a baby. :)
aw, look how cute they are!
And I can totally see your parents now in that photo back then. So sweet. Happy Anniversary!
