40 years, that's amazing! My parents celebrated their 40th wedding anniversary on January 6th. Plans were changed a few times but eventually we were able to go out for a celebratory dinner to the Pilot House (great sushi). My father has the pics so as soon as I see him again I will post them.
Actually Mom and Dad Smith also celebrated their 40th wedding anniversary back on September 9th. We celebrated at a restaurant in Philly, good times!
I really do think it is amazing to hear a couple say that they are married 40 years! To think, being with the same person for 40 years, it's not just about love; you really have to like them too! After the honeymoon phase when dirty dishes are piled high, clothes balled in a corner, screaming kids (or barking pups), hectic work schedules, ups and downs, your heart is a little deflated, you have to look at your spouse and realize that you really do like him/her. I know that Hubby and I have a long way to go, many roads to cross and we haven't even experienced a quarter of what life/marriage has to offer but we are happy to know that we both have parents who have made it 40 years and still like each other! Hopefully one day, Hubby and I will be celebrating our 40th wedding anniversary, with Barney and Kelcey by our sides and looking back at our teachers and thanking them for leading by example.
Happy Anniversary Mom and Dad and Mom and Dad! Many happy, healthy and blessed years ahead for all of you!!
