January 2

When he was in high school, my dad sneaked into a dance. They were trying to throw him out so he hid underneath a refreshment table. He was on his hands and knees looking for a way to blend in with the crowd when he saw her.
My mom likes to point out that the boy she was dancing with, before my dad sprung out from under the table and cut in, went on to be a doctor. But from then on my mom and dad went to dances together. My dad even started paying to get in.
My parents have been married for thirty-eight years today. And I think that is pretty dang awesome.

This rolling pin was a wedding gift to my parents. It is still in their kitchen being put to good use. 

And this is my parents dancing at my wedding surrounded by five daughters, five sons in-law, and thirteen grandchildren. (They have two more now) I'd say over all, it's been a good 38 years.
