Last year, I made my dad's favorite - sacher torte - in honor of their milestone accomplishment.  The Austrian dinner we prepared to go with it was a complete success.  It's too bad that my paranoia landed me in the hospital sitting on the fetal monitor only to learn that my little O was just fine.  Worrying is the sign of a good mom, I guess.  Looking forward to celebrating 41 years with my parents this year.  We've been married almost 7, and sometimes that seems like an eternity....can't even imagine how it feels after 41 years!!
