Daddy has an appointment this Tuesday with the cardiologist, and I am hoping they will tell him to go ahead and get a pacemaker. His heart rate almost daily now gets as low as the 30's, and he looks miserable, can barely even move. They have planned on going on an anniversary trip to D.C. in early April, so please pray that he can have the pacemaker done (if needed) as soon as possible.
I am really beginning to feel guilty about keeping this party a secret from them, mainly because they think we aren't doing anything for them. Well, Becky told them we will take them to Atlanta to a nice restaurant, but I know what Daddy is thinking - "we have 4 daughters, 4 son-in-laws, and 11 grandchildren- looks like they could come up with something better than that."
So I think that I'll tell them this week we are planning on doing something bigger when we have our big family vacation this summer- that would make sense b/c everyone will be there.
And y'all, I think this is so funny- my father in law and sister in law and her daughter want to come b/c they like Mama and Daddy that much- isn't that sweet? So they will be staying at our house that weekend- it will be so much fun!
It's getting closer! 1 1/2 months till the big party!

Detailed Plans
Video: we are trying to put together video of all the grandchildren sharing some memories, and will have this edited to use between pictures - Terri is in charge of the end product.
Program:
Guests to arrive at 1pm- we will immediately begin the buffet line and have everyone seated, then will have Mama and Daddy come in after 1:30- they may be so blown away- we might have to let them sit down right away- if they are OK, we'll let them go around to the tables for a little while.
*Mary Jo and Bob Givens have agreed to be MCs, we will ask uncle Dub and Felix to speak, and a few others from out of town friends who will hopefully be able to make the long trip, but of course anyone can share if they'd like to speak.
We would like to share how they met and all the places they have lived during their lifetime.
*Mary Turner, Erin and Haley's voice/piano teacher will be playing for us during lunch and accompanying them during a few songs.
*Video
* Let Mama and Daddy speak if they would like, then cut the cake- then mingling until the end.
We decided on a 4 tiered wedding cake (they never had one after their wedding by a justice of the peace) with pale green icing, white lace detail, topped by blue hydrangeas. 2 layers of chocolate cake, one vanilla with pineapple filling, one vanilla with raspberry filling- YUM!
Becky and Jana working on decorations and food, invitations went out this week, Terri working on video, Jill working on favors and program- did I leave anything out?
I'm getting really excited!! Hope many people come, and hope we can fit them in this fellowship hall!

Prayer Request
Please pray for my friend Monica's father, Dr. Dan Sanusi. He was playing tennis, fell, and sustained a skull fracture with multiple bleeds in the brain, is in VA in ICU on life support, has had some surgeries to relieve pressure on the brain, and he seems to be getting worse since this happend on Friday, March 7th. His wife, 3 children and their spouses are all there, most from out of town, and waiting and praying.
Thank you! Jana
