Then…
and Now!!!
Today is our 26th wedding anniversary. My love now for Stan is so much deeper and stronger than it was then. We have weathered the storms of life, we have had our ups and downs but some how through it all have become a little better.
“ A happy marriage and family is a 1,000 times greater than any happiness you can experience in this life”
Boyd K. Packer
I have experienced true happiness that’s for sure. In my patriarchal blessing it tells me that “life will be sweet unto you”. I think the Lord knew Stan would be the sweet part. Reflecting on these past 26 years we have:
- moved 11 times
- been pregnant 13 times
- given birth to 6 extraordinary children
- had 7 jobs
- 35 plus callings in the church between the two of us
- married off 2 beautiful daughters
- sent 1 son on a mission
- had 3 grandchildren
- had one adventure after another
- supported each other
I can’t wait for the next 26 years. To spend eternity with MY perfect match sounds like sure bliss.
Remember to keep kissing, dating, serving and loving unconditionally the one you love.
