Thirty-Eight

Today is our wedding anniversary. We were married in 1974. We honeymooned in San Diego. Actually, CoolGuy was stationed in San Diego in the Navy, and we lived there. So after the celebration in Wyoming, we just went back home. But, hey! We did fun things, and lolled around, and ate food, and rode the motorcycle. So it was like a honeymoon. Just another bonus of living in a vacation mecca: you can do all the cool things, then go home and sleep in  your own bed.

Wow...if you want to feel old, then look at the wedding picture on your 38th anniversary...whew.

Six short years later, we'd expanded the family quite a bit, huh? Another wedding---this time, my sister's. (1980)

Four more years went by, we've been married for ten years.

This was at my father's funeral. (1984)

Seven more years...everyone is growing up--except the parents.

We're ageless.  (1991)

Five more years, living across the country....(1996)

We always have to take a photo here...(2004)

Here is it...almost 38 years. Everyone is grown

and yet we're still smiling and standing up

together. (2011)

There are so many more photos. Weddings, missions, grandchildren, beach visits. Moving from state to state, and one of them twice. Funerals and birthdays, graduations and surgeries--we've done lots of all four. We're shooting for fifty years---just to amaze ourselves. Who knew??
