There is a LOT of preparation work that goes into these parties and thankfully Ashley & I are pro's in planning parties so we were able to pull it off without a hitch for the family, well mostly. Between Ian's GOOSE EGG on his head and my little trip to the ER for stitches in my hand after cutting it doing dishes, you can say we had little bumps in the road, but what party wouldn't be complete without them. Thankfully Nick & Ashley were kind enough to open their home for the celebration (Thanks a LOT guys! Very much appreciated). We were able to get the Love Bird's out to the house where Rich and Lorraine truly had NO IDEA!!!! It was GREAT to see the excitement on their faces as they opened the door to their loved ones where hugs & tears of joy were then shed. The Love Birds enjoyed seeing friends & family from both near and far and reminiscing their 40 years of marriage. I had also worked on a slide show for the party taking our family photos, the siblings pictures, & sneakily getting some from Rich and Lorraine's house. (A night Madie will NEVER forget nor let me forget for some time- she was a great Look out watcher!!, thanks honey) Little touches such as the slide show, music from their earlier days, & personalized pictures on the favors made it all a huge success! It was a Wonderful party to celebrate many years of a great marriage!!!

The Whole Gardow Family:
As Jon & I celebrated our 10th Anniversary this summer we reflected on our many blessings and all we are grateful for in our family. Seeing Rich & Lorraine we look forward to another 20 years and hope our family will give us as much joy as it did for Rich and Lorraine over the years.
Congratulations to Rich and Lorraine!!
