Today is my parents’ 40th wedding anniversary! I think it’s so befitting and beautiful that my brother is getting married the same week my parents did just 40 years later. Happy Anniversary Mom and Dad. Thank you for staying at it, sticking it out and being there for each other. I love you both dearly and am so excited to see you on Monday. It’s going to be a great week! xo

(Editor’s note: I’ve been looking through my parents wedding album as long as I have been able to reach it on the front closet shelf. I’ll scan in my favorite photos of their wedding when I am visiting next week and share them on the blog.)
