50 Years!

It is amazing to think that you could really be with somebody for 50 years. I have so much admiration for those couples who will never let go of the love that they have for each other. March 26, 2010, my Grandma Connie and Grandpa Russell were married for 50 years. It is like that saying "Grow old with me, the best is yet to be". That is so true. We get older, and lose our once amazing bodies, hair turns grey, and yet you still have that special someone who does not look at you any differently and loves you through all the good times and the bad. It was so amazing to see what an amazing family the Nelson Crew started. It started with a young man and woman who fell in love...Grandpa saved my Grandma from a hurtful situation and they never looked back. First came Aunt Lynn...then my mom....and then the youngest yet biggest of them all Unlce Jess. All lessons that my grandparents taught their kids have made us all who we are today. Families are forever, and that will never change. Here is to eternity.......



Grandma and Grandpa did not have a cake at their wedding so Aunt Dashay made this beautiful cake and we made sure that they knew it was just for them. Wylie and his buddy Dusty thought it would be great to decorate Grandma and Grandpa's car. I helped and they were right, it was a blast!!!



Bryken was very curious about Grandpa, he seemed to be talking to him and telling him things that only he would understand. Grandpa would grab his little hands and just look at him. I love the fact that both my little boys have had the blessing from being around this great man.



Uncle Jess looks just like Grandpa, even though he is the youngster, he stands taller than everyone!







We are so blessed to be a part of this family and learn from the values that it possess! Thank you Grandma and Grandpa for your great example of what true love really is.
