Silver State

My brother has been married for twenty-five years. Amazing how quickly the time has gone by!

He's my brother so it's much easier for me to think of the things he's done that drive me nuts..but I have to say that he made no mistake marrying my wonderful sister-in-law! I knew he must have been head-over-heels the first time I saw them together--they were wearing matching Mickey Mouse t-shirts.

They had the smallest wedding I've ever been to--but it was like watching a fairy tale come to life as they posed for their wedding photos. Happily ever after has included two great kids, new homes, life-threatening illnesses, furniture refinishing, losing parents too early, landscaping, gnomes, employment challenges, a few grey hairs and a couple extra pounds.

Twenty-five years later, they still have a twinkle in their eyes when they look at each other.
