Celebrate!

July 23, 2006 -
Today marks our 40th wedding anniversary and believe me - it has just flown by. I guess that is what happens when you marry your best friend.
Today is a beautiful day, the heat has finally broken for a little while and it is not quite as hot as it was 40 years ago today.
Mom and I had a ball planning my wedding, Mom did most of the church planning because I was in Kansas City teaching and the wedding was in St.Louis.
Jim and Skip were a big part of the wedding and we also had so much help from Aunt Winnie. Aunt Winnie made all of the head pieces including mine, the bridesmaids, Mom's and her own. When Aunt Winnie was walked down the aisle - everyone thought Mom walked down twice.
We had a wonderful morning at church this morning, it was listed in the bulletin that we had been married 40 years today and our Pastor even included us in a special prayer.
A quiet day just visiting with family was a perfect way to celebrate our 40 years of happiness.
