Happy 25th Anniversary Sue and Dad!!
Last Sunday (1/10/10) was Sue and Dad's 25th Anniversary! They wanted to celebrate by going to The Machine Shed for dinner. It was a fun night and I feel so blessed to have 2 great step-parents in my life.
I will never forget the night we met Sue. My dad told Lauren and I that a special person was coming to dinner. We were so excited to meet this new person. We were just hoping beyond hoping that it was someone he was dating. When Sue came to the door (keep in mind it was the middle of winter) she was wearing a puffy coat and it was kind of hard to see her. Lauren yelled to my dad "Dad, there's some man here to see you!" Yeah, it was Sue! She had dinner with us that night and we were just as smitten as my dad. In fact he was so smitten that he asked her to marry him the next week and they were married a few short weeks later. Seriously. They had their first date the weekend after Thanksgiving 1984 and were married January 10th, 1985.
Here we are 25 years later! Sue and Dad have been such a blessing to us over the years and I can't wait to see what the next 25 years will bring them!
Surprise! We thought it fitting that for their 25th anniversary they have a cake with 2500 calories. The thing was hugely ridiculous!
This is AFTER 10 people had eaten it!
Great night with a great family!
I am only posting this pic, because that chin and hopefully 50 pounds will be gone by their anniversary next year. There you have it...in writing. My New Years Resolution as cliche as it may sound. The.weight.will.come.off.
P.S. - Let me add that I DID NOT have ANY of the aforementioned chocolate cake. Mainly because I don't like chocolate, but also because that would definitely not be helping the cause. :)

Congratulations Mike and Sue. I didn't even realize what a short time they had been married in Aug of 1989 when I was introduced to the fam.
