TOGETHER!
A courtship that began with just one ride home.
A favor for a friend,
that resulted in my dad returning to see my mom again soon after,
and then deciding that he wanted to be the only one
to ever take her home again.
Which was perfectly fine with my mom;
she has been happy to ride by his side
ever since.
50 years...
of friendship,
marriage,
and business partners,
even still.
Finding love and happiness in each other.
Quite an accomplishment,
and blessing.
Congratulations
and
thank you.
As a little surprise for you,
here is your song.

Enjoy your trip and your most special day together.
I hope that my in-laws have fun celebrating their 50th today. I never imagined I could be so lucky to marry into such a special family. The two together are so kindhearted, and constantly give to others. I want to tell them thank you so much for all they've done for me. Times like recently taking me out on their new boat with such busy schedules, what a blast! To many many more happy years together, Happy 50th Anniversary!

Congrats Grandma and Grandpa!! 50 years is an amazing accomplishment. I am so grateful for grandparents like you. You are as Rachelle said, kind and generous, and I don't know what I'd do without you. I always felt special being born exactly between my grandparents' anniversaries!! (By the way, I LOVED the adorable birthday card you sent.) I hope you have a wonderful anniversary. You guys deserve it.

Thank you Mar for the wonderful present of the Armstrong Mansion. It was so great. We had lots of fun. It is a great place to stay and very close to lots of neat things. Thanks again. We love you.
I had to renew my license early this summer. It is due in October but they make us renew very early. Same hassle as Mar had. I didn't say have a good day. I just thought what a job. If they had to work in the real world they wouldn't make it.
Love,
Mom
