Alright, I left this post open for over a year hoping we would take that picture and get it posted. Well, it didn't happen. It was a fun tradition for the years it took place but I'm releasing the pressure to do this right now. 

As of 1/1/2020, we have been married for 9 years. It's been beautiful and hard and rewarding and refining and all of the things. I am super grateful for all of it. 

Grandmom and Granddad's 60th Anniversary Party

On June 6th, Matt's grandparents, Grandmom and Granddad, celebrated 60 years of marriage. Some of their friends planned a surprise dinner for them and it was such a sweet night. 

Their friends tricked them to get them there and it was pretty cute when they came in and saw all of us waiting for them! 

  

  

We ate a delicious meal and anyone who wanted to share stories was able to do that. It was sweet time with lots of laughter and some tears, too! 

  

  

Matt's mom shared a sweet poem about them. 

These pictures start the ones Matt took with his camera. He got some GREAT ones! The set up was super sweet and just perfect for Grandmom and Granddad.
