Happy Anniversary Mom and Dad B!
36 years today your legacy for the future began. You were young and in love, had the future in front of you and could only dream of what it would hold for the two of you; kids, happiness, grandchildren. I believe after spending the past 11 years with you that many of your dreams have come true and here are just a few reasons to support my theory.
We love you with all of our hearts and wish you many more happy memories to come.
June 15, 1974
A beautiful woman and a handsome man, begin what will become a wonderful life together.
The happiness continues throughout the years.
and even got better as you began to welcome children into your lives.
You were blessed with three amazing children, all wonderful and unique in their own ways.
Joel - The strong silent one (until his temper flares) A man of few words, but yet one that will do anything for you. He is truly a teddy bear.
Jen - Strong, independant, spiritual, loving, world traveler, and educated.
Amy - Strong, independant, young at heart, logical, a saver, private
These children are direct descendants of your hardwork and dedication to your family.
The men of the family
and the girls.
Then after a few years (which probably could have been a few more:) of perfecting the art of parenting , your oldest thought it was time for you to move on into bigger and better things.....
.
being a grandparent!
Granted, I am pretty sure it didn't happen quite like that, but none the less you accepted the job and have truly become some of this child's biggest supporters. You accepted him from day one, helped raise him into the young man he is today, and have always loved him unconditionally.
Then just when you thought your oldest was done giving you surprises and new people to love, I came along into the family on September 2, 2000. Our start together may have been a bit shaky at first, but I am so glad that we are on a straight path now. I truly have been blessed to be given a family like yours to love and spend the rest of my life with.
As Joel and my life continued together, we knew that more grandkids were in your future.
I know that I would not be able to accomplish as many things as I do without the love, support, guidance, and babysitting hours that you give to us.
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!
Today, June 15, 2010 our family! We could not be any happier for the two of you. Congratulations on 36 years together and we hope there are many more to follow.
