My parents. My mom just reached the ripe, crisp old age of 50 this past weekend. (Sorry, mom!) But it does sound a little ancient...I mean, next is 60 and then 70 and then....Yikes, lets not go there! Alas, this might be me someday. Might not. I guess it's a fact of life. We're all getting older...it just is weird to think that my parents are half a century old. But I wouldn't trade my parents for anything in this world so I guess I'll just have to get over their old age! And I pray that we have many days left together on Earth, and forever in eternity, since that is really what matters.
To celebrate, the family surprised mom for supper Thursday night. Dad had tried to get mom to let him take her somewhere out for dinner (and the rest of the family would show up) but mom decided to through a wrench in our plans and started dragging her feet 2 days before...so dad conned up the idea to have Jesse and I both "have plans" thursday night so he could tell mom that he'd cook her up a steak and have a romantic candle-light dinner. Jesse and I put on our poker faces and *ahem* told some white lies.... to through her off. Long story short, dad snuck more than just 2 steaks on the grill and the whole family showed up with the rest of them meal! It worked marvelous! And I think she enjoyed it much more than having a huge bash, or even just going to a restaraunt like we planned in the first place.
