Milestones and Memories

Happy Monday ladies! Today Iā€™m sharing a life update. As you know, Iā€™ve been having a fabulous visit with my daughter this week and our adventures continued through the weekend. Saturday morning my husband, she and I drove up to spend family time with my son and grandson.

My daughter hasnā€™t been here since Christmas so we had lots of catching up to do.

My grandson’s language skills are growing so quicklyĀ itā€™s a hoot to teach him newĀ things words. MyĀ husband caught a video of me trying to teach my grandson how to wiggle his ears šŸ˜‰ He can already raise each eyebrow independently…but not voluntrily yet so we’ll work on it. The joys of grandchildren are endless.

On Sunday my husband and I celebrated our 40th wedding anniversary. How did that happen so fast?

Over the weekend our kids asked what our recipe was for a 40 year marriage. My husband had an eloquent answer immediately. I didnā€™t but the longer I thought about it, the more I realized my recipe was simple. Not the marriage, the formula.

We are a team, and team members play differently than independents. He always has my back, and I always have his. A 40-year marriage takes love, respect, and laughter. Always laughter because when times are tough you have to be able to laugh.

Thanks for reading and have a great day!
