Seeing Family and My Grandparent's 50th Anniversary
Hey everyone! I have not dropped off the face of the planet! As many of you know I have been in Florida spending time with my family and friends down here. It has been such a blast to see everyone I have been able to see. I feel so privileged and blessed to have been able to see a lot of my family, and church family. The holidays were a blast. Christmas Eve we (Jew, Papa, Mama, Dad and the Olivers) were at United Methodist to Madison, Max, Mona, and John sing and play in their Christmas Eve service. It was really a lot of fun! I really enjoyed seeing them, and sing Christmas Carols with everyone! Then of course we went to Jew’s house for Christmas Eve. I really enjoyed spending time with everyone! Nana was a hoot! It was cool too because Jamie and Justine and Angie came. Jew had gotten them barking dogs and they just loved their toys soooooo much!!!! They were so ecstatic. It was cool to still have kids around! Then we had Christmas at my Mama’s house with the couples. It was a blessing to see everyone. Tristen and I went out and did some BB gun shooting. Just for fun. He was a hoot!
Today and the week before were really an exciting one. Today it was such an honor to celebrate my grandparent’s 50th Anniversary! It was such a pledge and an honor to be there and celebrate with them and our family. That is not something you do every day! Especially now with divorce at such a high rate. They had started planning last year about what to do. It was so much fun going through and getting ready for it. My grandmother asked if we could show her dress at the reception. So one night I went over and opened it to see if was still together. It was so cool to see her open it up. I of course got my camera and was like ohhh we have to take pictures of this. It was like looking at a piece of history. Not just any history our history. It was so cool to see her just get so excited looking at it.
I feel so blessed to have such awesome grandparents! They have really done so much for my family. They are just wow. They really have left a Legacy to live up to. One is 50 years. I know they have been through a lot, but they did not give up. Two is definitely they loved and would do anything for family. When I was in college, they would come and help my mom move me out of the dorms every year. They were at so many recitals, anytime any of us sang or dance or did anything they were there. Papa would take my brother and me out every Saturday to get an orange soda and peanuts when my brother and I were kids. Jew taught my brother by home school till he graduated. They would do anything for us. They just know how to die to their selves and love unconditionally. They even got me the plane ticket home to be able to be here for the anniversary. It is a good remodel to look up to. Three, which is how they made it through one and two, is the Lord. They definitely left behind a legacy of personal relationship with the Lord. They even were short term missionaries to the Guatemala and my grandpa went to the Philippines (they probably rubbed off on me a bit). The funny thing is they ask me where you got what you are doing from. Hahahaha. The fourth, I think friendship is something they have really captured too. They have three couple best friends, and a number of good friends. They just really enjoy their friends. Just other day though, we were cleaning Jew’s house and she was like you gotta keep good friends. They help you in many ways, one of them is it helps you to clean your house. They definitely are a couple to look up too. I pray that they will be blessed. I feel honored to be a part of their family and legacy here.
I like what our friend Larry said that going to this event was like getting ready for the ultimate wedding to Jesus. The time will have passed. Everyone will be there. It will be just so much fun!!! Anxiously awaiting!
