34 Years

Yes, it's 34 years of marriage (Feb. 12th) and we're off today on a long weekend trip leaving the kiddies behind.  When was the last time we did that?  It's been a while, but being grandparents we're off to see more kiddies.  Our trip takes us to Arizona to visit Billy, Chelsea, and Baby Ryan.  We're looking forward to spending some time with them.  We plan to go to the Mesa Temple, sit in on one of Bill's Seminary classes, a hike, play with Ryan, everything else is a debate.  We'll have fun!

"Marriage itself must be regarded as a sacred covenant before God. When parents themselves have complied with the ordinances of salvation, when they have set the example of a temple marriage, not only is their own marriage more likely to succeed, but their children are far more likely to follow their example."
