My parents, Wayne and Carla were married on July 6th, 1973. They have had ups and downs like every married couple, but with God at the center of their marriage- 40 years, 4 Kids, and 11 Grandkids later, my parents are still happily married and going strong!
My siblings and I threw our parents a surprise 40th Wedding Anniversary Party and it was a success! They were very surprised and genuinely appreciative of our efforts. They sure deserved it and much more.
Here are a few pictures from that fun day. It was great weather and all the kids enjoyed my sister's pool!
Zak, my brother- Sam, and his son- Jack all having a great time swimming!
We all brainstormed and came up with some things about our Mom and Dad using the numbers, 1-40. We got pretty creative and somewhat mean (they know our insults come from love). My Mom plans to make an album with these cards, along with some pictures from their upcoming trip to Shipshewana. (A gift from their kids including an over-night stay at a Bed and Breakfast, dinner, a Christian concert, carriage ride, pastry basket, and breakfast the following day)
They will never know how much we really appreciate them and we could never do enough to show it, but we love y'all so very much! We have been blessed to have such great, supportive, honest, loving, Christian parents. Enjoy your weekend in Shipshewana, Mom and Dad!
Now to plan their 50th...
