THE BIG 40!!!!!

Wow! Our parents will have been married for 40 years this upcoming June 6^th!

We have been trying to come up with ideas to make this year’s anniversary extra special and we finally came up with something…. Mom and dad have really been wanting to take a trip to Alaska and we would like to surprise them by helping them pay for a trip.
