Just a sweet photo to share with you today.
Now that the Valentine’s day craziness is over, it seems only normal that I’d like to talk about love, right? 
I didn’t really plan it that way, but last week my best friend Soazic sent me this picture of her grand-parents…made my heart melt. Her grand-parents have been in love for over sixty years - that 6.0, people!!- and I don’t know, isn’t that beautifully crazy?
I’m not a super-duper romantic kind of girl – oh I love a weekend away with hubby and small attentions, but I’ve never really been into rose petals on the bed or Nicholas Sparks movies for that matter. But seeing that kind of endless, genuine love almost brings tears to my eyes. We all know that being in a relationship isn’t all filled with pink and unicorns, and it takes a great deal of work and understanding to make sure that love doesn’t die with time -but personally, I am up for the challenge. Because growing old with my best friend, that’s one of my biggest wishes, and really, I couldn’t imagine my life any other way but with my husband next to me, holding my hand and making silly jokes. Happy Monday, friends!

That photo is amazing. And you know that inside they feel like the 20-somethings they were when they first fell in love. I hope so much that my hubbie and I grow very old together too.

I love the look in my friend’s grand-mother’s eyes. Looks like she feels like the luckiest girl in the world
Awww, what an adorable picture! I do believe in true love and endless love because my grandparents have been married for almost 66 years and they still kiss and tell each other they love one another! It’s truly beautiful!!
wow 66 years! that’s amazing! Both of my grand-dads died at a pretty early age (never got to know them), so I never got to see my grand-mothers in that way. Would have loved that.
that is an adorable photo.
my grandparents were this way– right up to the very end, when my grandfather passed away, he would always talk about his sweet wife, who was his partner in life… and he suffered a bit from dementia, but the story he would tell over and over was just the moment when the two of them met. beautiful.
Erica – such a great story, your grandpa sounds like he was the sweetest of men! so so beautiful
So beautiful!
Made me smile! And I think you are right! A relationship is hard work – also between friends – but it’s absolutely worth it! 
I’m hoping that as many couples as possible work for and can be as happy as the two on the photo

This is so sweet – it totally made me smile. I’m with you on not being super duper romantic but I definitely want to grow old with the one I love!
This is such a beautiful photo. How lovely and inspiring to see these people so in love and together for so long. I’m up for the challenge too…and is it really a challenge? When you find the right person it’s pretty easy to imagine, no?
