50, 30, 25, 15

i got suckered in to spending the afternoon w/ relatives. as much as i like my family, i just...

find my mother to be way overbearing.

the sad thing is: i'm just like her.

i had heard of the plans for this afternoon a couple days in advance and made it clear to my parents that i didn't want to come along in a crowded car and ride around... the "aunties" sucked me in and i had to squish in the backseat between my mom and cousin. whatever came out of my mom's mouth was just so negative and put a damper on things. i just... *sigh... pray that God changes me in this department.


my auntie and uncle celebrated their 50th anniversary today at this chinese (what i call "dive")and it was interesting seeing some cousins i haven't seen in YEARS...

50 years... that's half a century! My cousin, Laurie, and her husband, Wayne (far right) have been married 30 years. My parents have been married 25 years, and my cousins, Willard and Kay (far left second row) have been married 15 years. I believe these are true examples of couples that have stood the test of time. When I asked my auntie and uncle (bottom row) for advice, they just remarked how truly old they were.

I want a love that's lasting. a love with passion.

that's it for now.
