Celebrating Forty

My parents were born the same day, the same year, in the same hospital. They grew up a few miles apart and dated through high school. My mom waited for my dad on his mission and today, they are celebrating FORTY years of marriage.

They raised 7 children. I don't know how we were so lucky to get them as parents. They have done so much for each one of us. In forty years this family of 9 has grown into 35!


You have both set such a great example of hard-work, compassion, and love. We love you. Happy Anniversary.

Thanks for putting that dvd together, Jen. I've heard mom (and dad) bragging about it to everyone who comes, calls, etc. It was super fun to see you guys and swimming was awesome.

Forty years, remember it goes so fast. It was so good to see you. I have fond memories of the fun times with your family. What a great family.
