Twelve Years and Counting....

Today Jay and I celebrated our 12th wedding anniversary. We were married October 11, 1997 in the Salt Lake LDS Temple in Salt Lake City, Utah. We honeymooned in New Orleans, one of our favorite cities in the world, and had wedding receptions at Caffe Molise in Salt Lake City (the restaurant where we had our first date) and in Birmingham.

In some ways it doesn't seem like we've been married for twelve years and in some ways it seems longer than that, if it makes any sense. We've had our share of sorrows and had more than our share of joys. But we are happy together and love each other more than we did when we got married, so I think we're doing OK. We had planned to go out to dinner on Saturday night to celebrate - we even had a babysitter booked and Jay spent the week perusing menus online - but the kids were sick (coughs, fever, probably the flu) so we had to cancel. Instead we got takeout and watched a rental DVD. It really doesn't matter what we did to celebrate, anyway, as long as we were together.

I don't have a recent picture of us together and I haven't converted our wedding pictures and earlier photos to digital yet. That's something to add to the to-do list, I suppose. But in the past twelve years, this is what we've accomplished:


Not too shabby.

How appropriate and wonderful!!!
One time several people at Jefferson State were discussing
their investments. Then, your
dad was asked about his investments. He said that he
had three and that they were walking around!!!

You and Jay's thoughts obviously
run along the same lines.

Congratulations.


Love
