55th Anniversary!

here are my mom and dad with the majority of their grandchildren and great-grandchildren,(i think we were missing one of each in this photo).

tomorrow the family will be celebrating mommy and daddy's 55th wedding anniversary! can you imagine,55 years together?

my parents have always been great role models for my siblings and i and even more so,they have been wonderful parents.  we are a very close family and that doesn't mean we always get along and agree with each other.  but,the thing we have learned to do is forgive each other and try to be there for each other.

thanks mom and dad for this amazing life! thank you for believing in me,and for showing me that good things do happen thru love,work,and sheer determination!
