Today is my parents’ 35th wedding anniversary. Sadly, these days many marriages never last that long, but theirs has. Congratulations! Lisa, Phillip, and Jenny cooked them a fabulous meal at Lisa’s house Sunday night to celebrate. I should have asked them how closely their lives today match what they had expected back when they got married. 35 years sounds like such a long time until I realize it’s only about 5 years longer than I’ve been alive. =) Jenny and I are both blessed to have parents who are still together, which is probably a bit rare these days, and we’re very thankful for that.

Jenny and I are set to reach 6 years in January. It’s hard to imagine what our lives will be like in 29 years when we’ll be approaching the 35 year mark (Lord willing). Brenden could be through with school, married, maybe even with a child by then. So could his brother/sister, assuming he gets one someday. I’ll be 59. Jenny will be 61. It boggles the mind.
