I love the photos, your heartfelt and eloquent words and your sweet sincerity. Your parents are too cute. What a great reminder to celebrate every year of marriage whether 6, 36 or 56. You are one-of-a-kind special, Becky! Happy Anniversary to your parents!

ahhh - i just read this "36" post. Happy Anniversary to your parents. My parents celebrated 36 years this year also in August. :)
What a beautiful post! I'm actually finding your blog after realizing that all those months ago, I could have totally responded to all the comments on my Myth of the Super Mom post at Scary Mommy! I hardly responded to anyone thinking it would be breaking some guest post etiquette- I was a new blogger. Well, better late than never!
