Celebrating 34 years together 9/14/2009

Where have the years gone.   I remember when I would hear that someone was celebrating their 25th or 30th wedding anniversary and think wow that's a long time together. Well here I am celebrating my 34th wedding anniversary to the most wonderful man in the world! He's absolutely the best and I'm blessed to be sharing 34 years with Charlie. As I think back to our wedding day, I remember how special my parents made our wedding, as we only gave them 6 weeks to plan the event. It was a beautiful and incredible day, shared with the man I love, family and friends. Now here we are 34 years later. 4 wonderful kids, (grown kids i add) , 3 amazing and beautiful grandkids. I know my kids are now the ones thinking.....34 years wow that's a long time. Well you just wait it to see how fast time passes by when your as blessed as I have been. I can only hope that we have 34 more together! That would make us 87 YIKES! that's not old right? There is no greater gift then to love and be loved.

Mom and Dad We miss you! Happy 4th of July

We had a great 4th of July spent with family and friends. I was so busy didn't even take one picture. that's just crazy. Wanted to share however an amazing picture. I went to visit my mother and fathers grave while in danville illinois. They are both buried at the national cementary. As I sat down on the grass, I looked down where they both were laid to rest. couldn't belive what I saw in the grass........ I miss you mom and dad :(
