Last night our family celebrated my grandparent's 60th wedding anniversary. It's a milestone that not many folks reach - a very special occasion, and we treated it as such. All of the Warners got together to share a meal, some drinks, stories, laughs and lots of love. We had a fantastic time being together to honor this classy, generous and wonderful couple. They are an excellent example of true love that we all look up to.
I love my grandma and grandpa so much. We've always had a very special relationship. I could not have been blessed with better grandparents. I am so grateful that my children are also getting the chance to build a strong, and loving bond with them... It actually makes me glad to be here in Iowa for this extended time. There are memories being made every day that we will all cherish for our lifetimes.

It is amazing to look at our now large family and acknowledge that we are all here because of these two people. Through their love, they brought three sons into this world... and the rest is history. Our family has been blessed with beautiful, healthy, fun and smart children. My grandparents legacy will live on through all of us. I hope that all I have learned from them about life and love sticks with me forever, and that I can live in such a way that makes them proud. Really, if there were ever two people that I look up to, it is them.

Beautiful photo's, and family. I went to school with Steve and haven't seen him for YEARS. He looks great. It's weird to see him with longer hair, beard and mustache. He ALWAYS had his hair perfectly short. I like the look!
