so one of the reasons we went up to colorado besides the family reunion, was for george (my dad's younger brother) and joan's (george's wife) 50th wedding anniversary.

they had a big party and everyone was invited. george truck drove for a good portion of their marriage. there's some people, i think, who survive marriage because of the strength of their love. then i think there are other people who survive marriage by lots of hard ass work.

not to sound disparaging, but i think george and joan fall into the latter category. they don't seem like a great love story. in fact, i get the feeling that that faded a long time ago. not the love, per say, but the romantic love. i think what they have with each other now is more like friendship. you should have friendship but i think more needs to survive also.

aww well. 50 years. that's a heck of a long time. they're still together so who am i to analyze their relationship?
