47 Years

How do you measure 47 years of marriage? Is it the dates you had at your favorite pizza parlors in New York City? Is it the many places you traveled around the world, exploring new places together? Is it the birth of your children, and the blessing of watching them grow into adulthood and motherhood? Is it the challenges you faced over the years, and how you worked together to over come them? Is it fond memories of family vacations and spending time together? Is it holding hands all the time while out in public, and giving each other a kiss goodnight. Is it years of hard work in school and multiple career changes? Is it retiring and living in a place you always dreamed of, with your best friend. It is all of that, and so much more!
My mom told me, "forty seven years flew by Heather,  just wait and you will see." I can't wait for that day....a long time from now! How cute are my parents ;).
Happy 47th Anniversary, dad and mom. We love you!
