Days of Our Lives

This past weekend, my parents took part in something that i didn't realize would make everyone so emotional. They renewed their marraige vows. They have now been married 25 long years and ready to continue their journey together. Up until the time the ceremony was to start, the day had been ridiculously chaotic. I had to work @ 9:30 am til sometime in the afternoon. What sux about thsi is the fact that I didn't even have a dress yet for the damn ceremony. SO..... as soon as i got off, i had to take a shower and go look for a dress. I made it back to my sister's house around 4 pm and started to get ready. I rolled my hair up and called my mom. It's 5 pm and she informs me she wants me there in a friggin hour????WHAAAAATTT??? ARe u kidding me? I'm not even ready and i still had to pick up my friend Ryan. SHit. Well, go figure, i was rushing to get out the door. I get there @ 6 and help everyone set up. I look around the corner and there's a HUGE ice sculpture with the numbers 25. It was beautiful. (don't worry, i will add pics l8er) 7:20-ish pm comes around and my mom and dad show up in a stretch limo her best friend got for her. By 8:30-9:00, the place was packed, the food was served, and it was time to get down to business. Me and sonja took our places on the stage and the actual ceremony began. Sonja had a hard time reading the introduction, trying to keep the tears back. Then i continued with the vows. Never have i wanted to cry more tears of joy. My dad presented her with this gorgeous blue ring. It was HUUUUUGE and had her birthstone in it. Finally, they had the first dance and everybody was ready to PARTY. Before the night was over, i got a lil' vodka and orange juice and was just chilllin and talkin' to my some of my family and friends i hadn't seen in years(literally). What a good time to celebrate, u know? Til this day, i still had no idea that it was going to be as big as it was. But that's when i really started to think. I mean damn just how many couples stay together that long ne more, u know? That's something to not only be proud of but to be thankful for. If only i am that lucky down the line. someone to endlessly love, care for, have as a partner, have as a friend, have as a lover, and a huge part of my life. I guess it's something to strive for...I luv u, mom and dad. KUDOS TO YOU
