Our 34th Wedding Anniversary

We have had a very fun two days as we celebrated our 34th wedding annivesary! We were married on June 20, 1975 in the Salt Lake Temple in Salt Lake City, Utah. Wow! That seems like forever ago. We have had a great life...so far...together. We have covered the globe and enjoyed life with family and friends. Last night we went to a dinner and theatrical play of "Bye Bye Birdie". It was great! I remember seeing the movie in 1963 or 1964 when I was a little girl in Newfoundland, Canada. Apparently the movie was based on the stage play. I have always liked the fun movie. Some scenes are re-arranged in the movie. It was good to laugh!
Then we went to the Mesa Arizona Temple this morning. We spent several hours there doing a variety of things. Saw the Lundstrom's from Tucson there! Matt was getting his endowments! Then we went to lunch at Legacy Suites Resort and sat on the patio of the golf club and listened to great oldies while we ate.
This is what we look like today! 2009

This is what we looked like on our wedding day. It rained! So all my curls left, and Curtis' got more so. This photo was taken just before our reception which was held at the Kaysville Stake Center in Utah. Same building I was baptized in only 3 years prior. I sure love this man I married!

Celebrating Peter

Friday evening of June 12th 15 of us went to Carrabas' Italian Restaurant in Avondale to celebrate Peter's great accomplishment. Jason and Carrie had to leave early (hence no photos of them) so their babysitter could go to his own birthday party! We all had a great time visiting and eating!
