50 years ago today my mother-in-law and father-in-law married. Their family and church family honored them this past Sunday with a reception after worship service...
 |
My favorite moment: when they toasted with their cake and Pepsi.
Having never had a wedding cake, that was extra special. :) |
 |
| Mr. and Mrs. Barnette with their four children: Stephen, Tim (my personal favorite), Stephanie, and Paul... |
 |
| ...and with their 10 grandchildren: Elizabeth, Lydia, Andrew, Bekah, Rachel, Tessa, Kaylee, Anna, John, and Christopher. |
 |
| Kudos to my sister-in-law Stephanie for making such a beautiful cake. |
 |
| Mary Lou and Desper. Desper worked with my grandfather, they were neighbors with my parents, and are friends with my in-laws. Now THAT is when you know you're in your hometown! |
 |
| Adele and Lisa Thumm. Adele was in our youth group when Tim was a youth pastor and we were newlyweds. She has grown-up to be a beautiful and lovely young woman. |
 |
| My in-laws' pastor: Pastor Tim. (That's a good name!) |
 |
| Our sister-in-law Tonya. |
 |
| Tim and Cousin Clydean. |
 |
| Our nieces Lydia... |
 |
| ...and Kaylee... |
 |
...and Elizabeth, who is a student at WVU.
(Man, I'm getting old! When Tim and I started dating, Elizabeth was in diapers!) |
Happy Anniversary Mr. and Mrs. Barnette! I sincerely thank you for raising such a Godly, responsible, and loving son who is a terrific husband to me and a tremendous father to my children. May the coming years be even sweeter for you both than the ones that have come thus far...
