'How pleasant it is to spend an evening in this way! I declare that after all there is no enjoyment like reading! How much sooner one tires of any thing than of a book! — When I have a house of my own, I shall be miserable if I have not an excellent library.' No one made any reply. She then yawned again, threw aside her book, and cast her eyes round the room in quest of some amusement. — from Pride and Prejudice, by Jane Austen (1775-1817)

The only thing more beautiful than these two, then...




... is these two, now.


My mom and dad were married sixty years ago today! 
I'm so in awe of this, and so filled with love, and we are all so blessed.
