My Parents got married straight out of high school. And by straight out of high school I mean my mom typed her wedding invitations in typing class Senior year. They have been married for 37 years and are great partners and friends. My Grandparents have been married for close to 60 years. The way my grandpa tells it he proposed in 6th grade. My grandma is my guidepost for so many things and this is no exception. They are amazing together. I once overheard my grandma say at a family dinner, "Look at the mess we made Dad" to my Grandpa in reference to our family. I love this way of looking at things.
They've been great examples for a strong marriage and I can only hope that Steve and I will be able to provide an equally good example to our kids.
Happy Valentine's Day everyone!Thanks for reading.

Yay! You're back! Great post...love the pics.
That's really a great post. You are so blessed to have that example to encourage you. My maternal grandparents were married 70 years, then both died within 6 months of one another. Lots to learn from examples like that!
