Happy Anniversary, Baby

On Saturday, with a little help from friends and family, I hosted a surprise 10th anniversary party for Bethany. Despite a few close-calls, she never suspected a thing. After working Saturday, Bethany pulled into our driveway where 39 people were eagerly awaiting her arrival. (Most of you reading this now were probably there.) Her smile was so big and bright that it was clearly visible thru the tinted windows of her van. I am a joker sometimes (okay, a lot of the time), but all kidding aside, it was incredibly satisfying to see her that happy. The majority of our family and friends were able to attend, and we missed those who couldn't make it. Thank you to everyone who attended or sent along best wishes. You helped the luckiest husband alive make his wife the happiest woman alive.

A husband who considers himself the luckiest man alive after 10 years of marriage also just made me the happiest mother-in-law alive. After failing at marriage twice - I only made it 4 years each time - I am so proud and pleased that my daughters have married so well and are so happy.

blogdaddy and bladerunner, we got such a wonderful mother-in-law. She sure raised some great daughters! Mamaw wee - the marriages didn't fail, it was just God's way of helping getting you and the girls to where you are now.

Nevertheless, your daughters did marry exceptionally well.

Thanks for the kind words dhecker and yes blogdaddy my daughters did marry exceptionally well. Maybe that's because they all have wonderful mother-in-laws who did such a good job of raising sons.
