47 Years!

We've already celebrated our anniversary, but today is actually the day we were married--47 years ago in the Oakland Temple.  I'm not sure where the time went, but our little family of 2 in 1967 has increased by 20, and we're proud of all of them--children and grandchildren alike. And we batted 1000 with the sons and daughters-in-law. They sent us a beautiful mini rose bush which we left at the mission office where we could enjoy it, because we're there more that we're at our apartment. Did I remember to take a picture? Of course not. So I'll add that tomorrow.  Thank you to our exceptional family for their constant love and support.  We miss you terribly! That's the hardest part about a mission--not being able to be near the ones we love the most. But we do have phones, facetime, texting, emails and all the modern technology we need to keep us connected.
