Happy Anniversary!!

Last night, we celebrated 60 years of wedded bliss with Big Pa and Grandma!!

All of the grown-ups went to the Gaylord Texan Hotel for dinner and a fun time with the family!! We ate at The Riverwalk Cafe and it was beyond yummy!! I ate some of the biggest shrimp I have ever seen - not like the kind we get to eat at home!!

But most of all, it was so great to be together with two people who have shaped my life in more ways than I can count. Big Pa and Grandma have always had a huge impact on my life. They are a part of some of my earliest memories and still influence and positively affect my life to this day. It is really amazing to look back at how the hand of God moved them to do the things they did and how it all worked out to His glory. They are truly two of the most special people on the planet!! Love you guys!!

Here's Big Pa holding a special collage of pictures that included a picture of him as a boy, a picture of Grandma as a young girl, a picture of them as a young family with 2 small girls, and a picture of them now. Every family got one of these to keep! Very cool!!
