The Big 5-0

No, not Marc, he still has a few years before he hits that milestone.  I’m talking about my parents wedding anniversary!  My parents were married in the Los Angeles LDS Temple on September 12, 1968.  Unfortunately we lost my dad about 7 years ago to the ugly “Big C”  but that doesn’t mean we couldn’t celebrate with my mom.  My siblings and I had 50 yellow roses delivered to mom on the 12th.  Those are the official flower for 50th wedding anniversary.  We also had a fun gathering after our monthly family Sunday dinner.  Mom’s siblings came, as well as our local cousins.  Nicole made a beautiful cake, cupcakes, as well as a cute board with facts from the year they were married.  We watched a fun video of pictures from their wedding and a few of our family as it has grown over the years.  Creston also surprised us with a video of Dad.  Creston had video interviewed dad a few months before his passing.  We got to watch the portion of the interview from my dad’s perspective about when my parents met.  It was really special.  We even got to FaceTime Audrey during the videos so she could watch them too.  It was a very nice evening visiting with family and reminiscing.  I love my parents and am so incredibly grateful for their love and their example to our family.  Because of them, we are an eternal family.
