| Our annual visit to the SLC temple where we were married. |
What did we know when we started out on our marriage on June 16, 1979? We were babies! We loved each other and we were ready to join our lives together, but we really had no idea that we were in for the ride of our lives. Through the stress of graduate school, birthing and raising our four babies, deaths of our loved ones, sicknesses, cancer, travel, home buying, financial struggles, compromise, time demanding church callings and service, relationship challenges, community service, extended family interaction, idiosyncrasies, employment, individual interests, ideas and ways of doing things ...our lives have forged into one. We are truly two parts of one whole. He is still a man and I am still a woman with our own God given talents and abilities (think Mars and Venus here), but we have survived and even flourished through it all. Are perfect? No. Do we disagree on stuff? Yes. Have we learned how to deal with differences. I hope so! We are still standing. We are still in love. We are still a couple and we still love, respect and support each other in all we do.

That means OUR Anniversary is just around the corner. Thanks for the reminder. [we may or may not have forgotten it in the past]
And Happy Anniversary!
Thanks for the post, Vonnie. It is a wonderful ride. I love you more now than I did then, and am so thankful that you said yes, all those years ago! Love you.
