         Happy Anniversary to my sweetheart!  We celebrated 44 years of marriage today serving in the Tegucigalpa Temple and looked back to where it all began, in the Idaho Falls Temple on June 12, 1970.  Our love has grown beyond expectations.  We have been blessed with the best family ever and have experienced the highs and lows in our lives that have provided stretching, learning, loving, and finding joy. 

Eight fantastic children challenged and enriched us, brought us eight additional sons and daughters (the awesome in-laws) 27 plus one on-the-way adorable grandchildren, and the launch of the next generation with a granddaughter-in-law, two great grandsons, and a soon-to-be grandson-in-law.  The ripples from our family’s small beginning have been set in motion and continue to spread far and wide, helping to make the world a better place.  Our greatest joy is to see our children making and keeping sacred covenants, loving each other, and loving and serving the Lord.  May it ever be so.

Perhaps our best years are yet to come as we devote our time to each other and to our service.  All my love to my wonderful husband!
