Parent's 30th wedding Anniversary!

This weekend we had a surprise 30th wedding anniversary party for my parents. It was a surprise for my mom, but not my dad since we needed the extra help planning seeing as I live in Arizona and couldn't do anything till I got out there on Friday, a day before the party. On Friday Derek and I drove to Cali and got there around 3pm. I hung out with my family that evening and Derek hung out with his. It was funny because my mom came into the living rooma nd asked my dad why there was bags of ice in the freezer. My dad said "just because" and my mom didn't ask why. I figured she knew about the party, but when she left Saturday morning for Morgan's bowling she had a not so cute shirt on. If my mom would have known she totally would have had a nice outfit on.

My parents showed up and drove into the back yard where everyone was and we all shouted "Surprise" and my mother was so confused! You see she is the party planner so she couldn't figure out why there was a party that she hadn't planned.

The party was so much fun. Just old friends and families getting together and hanging out!  I loved it. It was such a good day, not to mention the weather was amazing. Both Derek and I got a pretty good sunburn!

Saturday night we relaxed and went to dinner with the missionaries. Then Sunday we went to church and then drove home. It was such a short wonderful trip! It made me love my family even more and I am so grateful for the great example that my parents have set for me. I am grateful for the love that they share and have for 30 years! I truly have been blessed with goodly parents!
