Due to a nasty stomach bug, I wasn't able to finish the last 2 posts of December. We made it so far into January, that I wasn't going to go back and do these posts. But then I found these pictures on my camera, and I liked them (and the night), so I decided to post just 1...
My parents got married 3 days after Christmas. So, when we are together for the holidays, we always try to make sure our time includes their anniversary to celebrate together. This year, Lucas and I decided they needed to go to a restaurant that used to be one of our favorite places to celebrate an anniversary. The Melting Pot.
Dad & Mom enjoying yummy things dipped in chocolate!
I have to say that this meal goes into my top 5 meals of all time. I have enjoyed every meal I've had at the Melting Pot (all 3...), but this one was especially delicious. I have never heard so many yummy noises during a meal! Every bite was scrumptious. I was sad (albeit VERY full) when it was over.Lucas and I check to see if our yummy treats are ready.
I'm pretty sure that this was 31 years for my parents. I'm so lucky (really, Lucas and I are both so lucky) to have parents with long-lasting marriages whom we can model. When asked by the waitress the secret to so many years of marriage, my parents had a hard time coming up with an answer. They made a few jokes about being too afraid of life alone, but I know their secret - always having each other's backs, always communicating and working things out, remembering (even when fighting) that they love each other, and having God as their center.
Happy Anniversary Mom & Dad!
Note: This was the only picture I got with both of their eyes opened, and they were laughing so hard they could barely control it :)
