Happy 50th Anniversary, Mom and Dad!

Stop ruining my moment, KASEY!

My parents celebrate their 50th Anniversary on October 15, 2016.

50 YEARS!!

It's hard to believe that only 50 years ago my mom was a 17-year-old blushing bride, holding her bouquet of flowers in front of her middle to hide my sister Kim, living inside. Back in the day when a man was expected to make good on a mistake. And more mistakes they would make, yessirreeee, 6 more to be exact, one of them being me!

I asked them both what they love about each other, after all this time. Their faces looked not unlike Hillary's and Donald's when asked to say "one positive" thing about the other.

They thought about it for a while and here were their responses:

MOM:

He takes care of everything that needs taking care of

He keeps the wolves away

He jiggles the toilet handle

He gets the spiders out of the bathrub

He changes the light bulbs

He went to work every day

DAD:

(...and he had to think about this for a long, long time)

After a snowstorm and I shoveled us all out, she'd make me a hot drink

I LOVE YOU GUYS --- CONGRATULATIONS!
