This weekend my family and I took a trip to Milwaukee Wisconsin.  All my family lives in Wisconsin, and I usually make the drive by myself, but this time my husband came with me. 

that’s because my grandparents celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary.  They were not going to do anything to mark the occasion but at last minute invited the extended family to a catered party at a local restaurant.

We all attended a mass where they renewed their wedding vows and then celebrated with food and a games after.  A 60th anniversary is called a “diamond anniversary.”  So the 50 of use played a game of baseball “diamond” trivia.  We were all tested on how well we knew my grandparents.

After being married for 6 years myself, I know how hard marriage can be.  It was great to celebrate the commitment they have made and kept for 60 years.
