Or in this case silver…as in silver anniversary. My parents are getting ready to celebrate
their 25th, or silver anniversary.
Holy smokes that’s a long time!
In celebration of this milestone we decided to throw them a surprise
party. It started in February with the
planning and everything and it ended this past weekend with an awesome
party.
On Friday I went to my moms house
to paint her nails, then headed to Uncle B’s house where the party was
happening, and we started setting up the tables and things. Saturday we finished decorating and I went to
my parents house to do my moms hair and make-up. My brothers and I gave my mom a locket from
Origami Owl (check it out here) (thanks Misty!!) so she could wear it to the
party. The evening turned out better
then I could have asked for! Uncle B smoked chicken and tri-tip, Nana made
potatoes and green beans, Grammie made baked beans, and we got rolls from Uncle
T at Genova bakery. Grandma Stone made a
cake that looked like it was out of a magazine and tasted so DELICIOUS. It was a smaller party with close family and
friends and it was perfect. I can’t
believe that my parents have been married for 25 year, and wow is that such an
example to me.
Being the oldest child I
think I remember the majority of their marriage and I know they’ve gone through
a lot and have had a lot of ups and downs but they’ve worked it all out and
have made the best of things, and have made it to a quarter of a century. I know we live in a time where a lot of
people get divorced with things don’t go how they want, or when things get hard
and it’s such a blessing to me to have grown up seeing the hard work and
perseverance they’ve put into their marriage.
It gives me hope that if my marriage isn’t going the way I want, or when
I feel like its to hard, I know I just need to push through it and work things
out and that eventually we’ll get through it.
I love my parents so much and am SO grateful for them and all they’ve
done for me and my brothers. Happy 25th
Mom and Dad!
