This weekend was all planned out... or so I thought! Dad came to see us and we were so excited. We had a great time! Saturday night he took us to Katie's choice of restaurant in Tulsa for her 18th.... and also celebrated my birthday! Little did I realize that while we left my home was being converted by Becky and friends for a 50th birthday celebration... mine!!!
I was shocked... to put it mildly. My mind couldn't take all the new information in... like I saw Becky... it took time to compute! Then I saw others, and finallly noticed my brother, Monte and Ryan... they said I had looked at them and didn't comprehend!!! The Weichbrodt's were here too!! Paige, Zippy, Corgans.. what can I say? It was a huge spread of wonderful food, great friends and lots of love poured out to me... especially by my dear daughters, Becky and Katie, who did so much planning and work. Girls, what a great job you did... and what memories you made for me!!!
Dearest to my heart are the people... my friends and family.... who make life wonderful. God has, in His wonderful plan given each of them to me... and I delight in His gift to me through each one. I cannot imagine life without those relationships that go beyond superficiality... and loves and cares as Christ. There is no other more significant understanding in life than to understand that those around me are blessings... put there by the Almighty God himself to show me His love for me. In all this I give great thanks... 50 years worth!!
Love you all... especially my Becky, Ryan, Katie and Jonathan. You are all incredible...He deems it so!!!
