Surprise Party is this wkd! June 11th starting at 2pm!

So we've been counting down the days until June 11th to celebrate our surprise 40th anniversary party for our parents.  It's a little daunting as I was a part of a wedding shower with my Mom last weekend which she had planned.  The food was so beautiful that we were afraid to eat it!  It's hard to compete with excellence.
Here are some recent memories of my mom and dad.
Rob: taking my car on the weekend so he could go buy building materials to work on the house.  Coming back and filling up my car's gas tank.  What a thoughtful guy!   Him sharing with me all of the books that he's recently read and all of the other books that he's interested in reading.  He'd do well to retire and then start a new degree in ???
Lynne: making a gluten free cake for a friend and covering it in fresh fruit so that it looked like a giant umbrella.  Her taking Friday morning to help me clean up my classroom before the end of the school year.  Watching her hem someone's wedding dress and someone else's bridesmaid dress.  Even with her arm being in pain she's still taking time to do odd jobs to bless people.  It's all very humbling.
Rob and Lynne: spending their Sunday afternoon to care for Rob's Mom and spend time with her.  Singing, dancing, walking, talking and and playing at the senior's residence.  What great children they are to their Mom.
You know, my Dad called me late Sunday night 'cause I'd called and asked him to pray for something that I'd lost.  He said to me "did you find your portfolio yet?"  Yep!  Excellent.  Then he invited me to come join him at his Sunday night bible study.  Typical Rob eh?
We're really excited that this party is coming up and can't wait to celebrate with all the amazing guests who have RSVP'ed.
Please feel free to comment and add on other memories.

P.S.  One of my fondest memories of my Dad was when he sold his favorite thing in the whole wide world, his MGB.  You know why he sold it?  So we could have a second bathroom with a shower in the basement.  What an amazing guy!  Come on out and celebrate!
