The Exception

A few days late but you know what they say...

Feb. 24, 2011 was my parents' 32nd wedding anniversary. On that day a boy who was 18 (and exactly four days) old married his high school sweetheart.

Although it wasn't all that uncommon back then for kids to marry at an early age, it is uncommon for it to last. It wasn't until recently that I realized just how lucky I was to have grown up with the parents I had. My world wouldn't make sense if I didn't have them in my life as a happily married couple.

I can't thank them enough for being the exception to the rule. It's why I still believe in a happy ending and why I know two people can make it work. It's why I know that I don't want just a husband, I want a partner. They never said it would be easy, but they did say it would be worth it.

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY, MOM AND DAD!
