Mom and Dad's Anniversary

today would have been my parent's 48 wedding anniversary. i've always loved that they got married so close to Christmas. i'm on the hunt for their wedding picture so this one of them is a stand in until i can find the real thing. my mom looks beautiful. for those of you that knew her knew she hated having her picture taken so i don't have many. this grieves me. so, i love this picture because she is looking right at the camera and it is clear that she is so happy.

this second picture was taken at my granddad's funeral(my mom's dad). it had been a long day and we were back at the hotel letting off a little steam. this is one of my favorite pictures because it is how I want to remember her..laughing.
