36 Years!!

So today 36 years ago Mike and I entered the Provo Temple and were sealed for Time and all Eternity!! Little did we realize the joys and trials that we would get to go through together. It doesn't seem possible that 36 years has gone by! Mike gave me a card this morning that says it all....I will share it with you becasue I feel the same way!

I don't know what I ever did without you,

before I ever saw your special smile,

before I ever had you here to turn to,

to laugh with, and to talk with for a while.

I don't know what I ever did without you,

before I had you always by my side,

before you ever warmed my heart with kindness,

before you ever filled my heart with pride.

I don't know what I ever did without you,

for you've become a part of me somehow,

and since I've had you here to love--

and love me--

I know I couldn't do without you now.

We have had 36 wonderful years! We have 5 children that we are so proud of. We love them, they are our life. They have brought so much joy and happiness into our life. We have 8 beautiful grandchilden who are our hearts delight ( I know that sounds corny but it is true!). We have had our share of trial and hard times but we have come together as a family and weathered them. We thank our Heavenly Father for the many blessings of peace and comfort and hope that He gives to us.

So here is to 36 more wonderful years! I love you Michael!!
