Surprise!

Yesterday Jerry brought an article to me to read that was in the newspaper. It was our 50th anniversary write up on the society page! There were two pictures: our wedding photo and a more recent close up photo. It was well written and was a total surprise to us! I was going to put it in the paper but with our trip to Malaysia, and then jet lag, I just hadn't taken the time to do yet. But I had determined to get it in this week! So who did it? Would you believe our son-in-law? Yup, Gene is the guilty one! He even did it before our trip! The last time they were here visiting he actually got into my computer to get our wedding picture, e-mailed it to himself, then deleted the e-mail from my computer so I wouldn't find it! He sent the article to our newspaper on-line before we left on our trip and had it come out after he was sure we'd be home! What a guy!

Here's basically what he wrote: "Gerald (Jerry) and Anita celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary recently. The former Anita W. married Jerry A. on June 13, 1959. They have five children: Pamela B. of Chicago, IL; Ted A. of Holland, MI; Christy B. of Columbia, SC; Tim A. of Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada; and Rob A. They also have 13 grandchildren. Jerry is retired. Anita is a homemaker. They will celebrate Sunday, July 12, with an open house at their home for family and friends."

Lord, thank you for Gene! He's a very thoughtful son-in-law. He took such good care of us on our trip to Malaysia. Please be with him in these difficult days of job hunting. Bless him with Your Presence.
