This Sunday, August 9, is my parents' wedding anniversary. Married 51 years. Last year we had the big shindig, and even though they won't be feted in quite the same extravagant way this time, I still want to thank them for continuing to show the world how it's done. The best parents a kid could have (even a grown-up kid), they are the model of a Christian marriage. Love you guys forever!

Awww...I love this post and ....we have had a wonderful marriage. God is so good to help us find each other in the first place. He has also blessed us with four children of which we are so proud. Last year we were all together for the big event! This year won't be quite the same, but we know you are thinking of us and sending your wishes our way. We got the top of our wedding cake from last year out of the freezer, and it tastes great. You would never know it was a year old. Tomorrow, after church, we are going to take a day-trip and it looks like the destination is Tawas City. Hope it doesn't rain, but if it does, that's ok too.

I remember last year's post about the big celebration!
Your folks really have been blessed. I hope they have many more years together. And I sure hope my husband and I have as many great years as the Opels--we're halfway there.
