Marriage is a lot of work.  period.  I see a lot of people at the very beginning of their marriage.  Happy and full of life.  They can’t wait for what their life together will hold.  You wonder how some couples lose their way sometimes.  My parents have been married for 34 years, and the spark is still most definitely there.  Almost to the point where I have to tell my parents to get a room.   There’s something odd about saying that.  But really I can only hope to have the spark that they have when Cody and I are their age.  I think it’s easy to be nieve in the beginning, but as time goes by you realize there’s way more to this marriage thing then you thought, good and bad.  

While I was visiting my parents we sat around a fire pit, when out of no where my dad starts laughing.  And my dad can have a odd sense of humor sometimes, so you never really know what’s going to come out of his mouth.  Both my mom and I looked at him with confused looks and asked what was so funny.  He looks at me and says ‘your mom is hot.’  For many people that’d be enough to loose their cookies.   I just laughed and told him to get a room.   I’m not sure there’s really a point to that story other then, I love that my parents are hot after each other.  Even after 34 years and three kids.   Thru thick and thin they’ve been their for each other and I know without a doubt they will be for the rest of their lives.  

Here’s to you Mom and Dad, Happy Anniversary!
