40 Years and Counting...

Whoever would have thought that June 1968 to June of 2008, a total of 40 years, would have gone by so quickly. During that 40 years of marriage our home has been blessed with four of the greatest children and spouses, and, so far, nine grandchildren that bring us a lot of joy. We just wish our little granddaughters were closer (oh, and Mike and Kim, of course). Our kids and their couins surprised us with a Sunday afternoon breakfast brunch at Curtis and Shandy's and also with an overnight stay at the Marriott in Park City. The Lybberts joined in on the send-off with a decorated car, balloons, and confetti which, by the way, we are still finding all over the place. We had a "grande" time in Park City, even without a piano...you interpret as you wish...

Here's the happy couple forty years later; we still look good, huh?!!


The decorated Prius--the back window read "Been There, Done That;" the side windows "Hoot Katoosh," and "Gosh Dang It!" Also, balloons and golf balls dragging behind.

Our own mini anniversary cake, along with sparkling cider and classy flower-decorated goblets.

Rather than shoving the cake in each other's mouths, we decided to be a little more subdued.
Here's a good-looking hunky Park City tourist!

Belated Happy Anniversary!!! Wow, 40 years. That's awesome. It makes me and Brian's upcoming 10 year anniversary sound insignificant. LOL Love the pics, it looks like it was a fun celebration. Congrats again! P.S. I've 'tagged' you on my website - I wanna hear those quirks! :)
