Al and I were married 23 years ago today - tenth month, tenth day, at ten o'clock. (We made it easy for him to remember.) We spent our dating months going to baseball games and fishing and hunting (yes, even I went hunting with Al before we were married) in the canyons. Now looking back, I have to admit that we are the perfect example that "the more things change, the more they stay the same." Our time is still spent going to games - now to watch the kids instead of Al; and there are always fishing and hunting trips - most of them involve the four boys. Life has not been perfect, but it has certainly been good.
We have been blessed with five great kids. We live in a wonderful neighborhood surrounded by genuinely good people. Our kids have found fabulous friends and have enjoyed many happy times. We are privileged to have grandparents close-by and extended family close to our hearts. There are days when I forget how blessed I am. But on those days I am always grateful that I don't have to face the challenges alone. I have Al.

Happy Anniversary you two! Wow, it seems hard to believe how much has happened. We love you and miss not being able to see you more!
Hey Joni & Al, I was thinking of you on 10.10 -- that was such a fun day. I love the hunting photo of the 4 -- that is a classic shot.
The girls and I are on the countdown for your arrival -- they are already making plans of what we are going to do. Can't wait to see you. Love ya.
