HAPPY ANNIVERSARY 65 TIMES

My in-laws celebrated their 65th wedding anniversary over the weekend. We drove up to Tulsa Friday, arriving at midnight. I'm one of the luckiest/blessed people in the world to be apart of this family. I've never, in 27 years of marriage, had a cross word with either of them. They are Godly, unselfish people with old fashioned values. My father in law has had many health issues and we always thought he'd be the one to have problems. But about five or six years ago, my mil, began having weird problems with her legs. It started out as "restless leg syndrome" and escalated through the years until they diagnosed her with Neuropathy. This amazing lady gets around with a walker if she's going to church or just out a little bit but most of the time, she uses her scooter. To watch her not be able to care for us the way she wants (cooking til she's blue in the face) has been heartbreaking. She's in alot of pain, yet she never complains. They moved away from our hometown three years ago to be near their daughter. This has added two more hours onto our long drive home, so it's really a big deal if we go without a three day weekend. Here they are feeding each other cake

Aren't they sweet?

It was also my fil's 84th birthday. He had his own cake with cupcakes (didn't want him to be left out)

This bizarre pic is of D & his bro. They are 19 months apart and when the two of them get together, they are nuts. I think there was something about the vulcan mind grip or something here. Either that, or they are just really weird......
This is my niece, Brooke. She and Jordan are a two years apart and are two peas in a pod. They crack each other up and talk to each other quite a bit. They live in Arkansas. We think she and J look more alike than any other two in the family.
Are you still reading? Here's a pic from 1981 just for you LR.

I remember when the photographer took this pic that I was hoping my hair wasn't messed up...it was. Our football team went to the state finals that year. We lost, but it was fun to go and play in the big stadium in Tulsa.

Happy Monday everyone.
