On April 15, my in-laws will have been married for 40 years.

Forty years. F-O-R-T-Y years.

And they’re still really young, which is a pro for having kids in your early 20s.

While the rest of you are celebrating St. Patrick’s Day, we will be with them celebrating this amazing accomplishment.

They’re the consummate couple, too. You know the one. The one where you think, “They make it look so easy!” The one that you hold your own marriage up to and hope you can be half as successful as them. That one.

It’s a huge deal. I’m very proud of them.

While I finish my day so I can be ready to see them, I’ll leave you with Gin and Topics.

Be ready. There is one that tops them all. You’ll know as soon as you see it.

Thanks to Dwayne Alicie, Mr. D., Mattie Dietrich, and my momma for their help this week! (more…)
