I think they are the perfect people to ask for such advice. My parents will be celebrating their 50th Wedding Anniversary this coming summer. It’s amazing to think about spending 50 years with the same person, your best friend, the father/mother of your children, your supporter, your love. I am lucky to be following in their footsteps with my own 14th Anniversary this summer, which happens to be within a few days of my parents’ own anniversary.

Since it was Valentine’s week I thought I’d blog these images. I took these pictures of them last July during my yearly trip home to North Dakota. My dad recently purchased this 1957 Crown Victoria. It’s similar to the one he drove when he dated my mother in high school. I love that he purchased this car, to recapture his youth. I even had a chance to drive with it’s stick shift on the steering wheel and no power steering. It was a fun feeling cruising down the highway with the windows down. It made me appreciate my more modern vehicle!

Thank you Mom & Dad for setting such a wonderful example for our family. We love you.

As I sit here writing this, I can see the snow falling outside. Don’t get me wrong, I love snow. I grew up in northern North Dakota, so I’ve seen my fair share of cold weather. We are bracing for a huge storm here in DC as they are forecasting 20-30″. I thought today would be a perfect day to post some springtime photos to brighten our mood. In springtime, the big hill in our neighborhood blossoms with wild white daisies. The girls are always asking to go and pick some. Here are a few captures I made of us flower picking. It won’t be long and spring will be here again, at least I hope so!

I was able to accompany my daughter on her preschool field trip to the pumpkin patch. This place is a pumpkin patch mecca. They had so many fun slides, a hayride, tons of farm animals and of course pumpkins. We really had a great time.
