Thirty Seven Years Ago......


We were married! Today is our 37th anniversary. It doesn't seem possible that we've been married so long, and have children so old! It's been good. Very good, in fact. I have no idea how we will be celebrating, but I'm hoping it includes a trip to Nauvoo for dinner....soon!
These pictures are from our wedding in 1971.

My mom made all the dresses except Leslie's. Leslie's mom, Bonnie made the dress for Leslie. Mom also made the veil, and I believe the little flower girls hat too. It was a beautiful wedding on the hottest and most humid day of the whole decade! Still, none of the wedding party fainted, and the church didn't even have air conditioning!

Well, one mystery is solved. Dennis just called from his cell phone. He is mowing around our fields, and I can see him. In fact, I was watching him stop and use the phone when the house phone rang. But, I digress. Anyway, he called to say that it's taco night at Papa's, and if I didn't have anything already fixed for supper, we could go meet Travis and his family for tacos. Well, of course, I don't have anything fixed....because I've been working on this blog, so Wooo-Hooo! We're going out to eat. I'm STILL hoping to be taken to Nauvoo Hotel though. Soon!

Happy Anniversary from Florida. It is amazing to look at your wedding pictures and see how your life together has developed over the years, isn't it? Our grandkids look at ours and tell us how nerdy the clothes and haircuts look to them. It makes me laugh to hear them comment.
As you begin your 38th year, may you continue to experience God's blessings.
