OK, BEFORE vacation, we gave my parents a surprise 50th wedding anniversary party. It actually remained a total surprise. My folks' faces were priceless. There were about 60 people there - balloons, smiles, tears, a surprise musician from Mom's first 4th grade class, 2 members of their actual wedding party, lots of old and new friends, all the kids and grandkids. Mom said it was her very first surprise party. Wow!It made me think of what an incredible milestone 50 years of marriage is...and unfortunately not a normal number to reach. I am proud of my parents and the example they are. I have been blessed to have my parents remain married, remain in love...and remain friends. In fact, I think they love (and like) each other more now than ever before. Dennis and I are coming on 2 years, and I would love to see us reach an "Abraham & Sarah style" 50th. I would love to have another party for my parents on their 75th. Regardless, I am taking my "cue" from Mom & Dad to make every moment count and build a life of love and joy and friendship and future and destiny and purpose and hope and dreams with the love of my life.
Rock ON, Mom & Dad! I love you!

I'm so glad the party went well and remained a surprise. You are truly blessed to have the parents you do. They are incredible people that should be looked up to and admired. Modeling yours and Dennis' marriage after theirs can only bring about a great life for the two of you.
