This past December, Mom and Dad Heidinger marked their 40th wedding anniversary. To celebrate, my little sister carefully planned a surprise party at the church we attended growing up. It was a cool to be at the church again -- a place that I have early, early memories -- this time with my daughter in tow, and surrounded by people that have been friends with my parents from all different periods of their marriage. People that knew them when they kept alchohol in the oven, before they had kids, throughout raising their family, and in the recent years. It was definately a blast from the past. In fact, at one point I introduced myself to an old church member. She immediately told me, "Oh, I know who you are, sweetie. I recognized you the minute I walked in." Even though she hadn't seen me since I was a teeny-bopper, and I had no idea who she was!!
Anyway, good party Michelle. Thanks for your carefully planning. You pulled it off!

HaHa-the alcohol was in the old dishwasher that didn't work!!! You never would have found it. But then again, you never lived in that house!! Yes, it was a wonderful party and wonderful to see so many friends from long ago. Thank you girls-we love you all so much!!
