Christmas Revisited



John and I were married 35 years ago this very day. During that time we've moved nine times. We've owned nine different cars. (Only one of them was new when we bought it.) We've raised four children, planted dozens of trees, and tended too many gardens to count. We've shared our homes with dogs, cats, birds, snakes, turtles, lizards, hedgehogs, mice, hamsters, gerbils, tropical fish and houseplants. We’ve gone on four cruises (so far), and made regular pilgrimages to Disneyland and Walt Disney World. Together we’ve visited Mexico, Germany, England, Scotland, France, Holland, Denmark, Sweden, Finland, Russia, Estonia and the Cayman Islands. We’ve attended scores of softball games, soccer matches, youth concerts and recitals. We’ve helped each other through dozens of theatrical productions and church callings. Our marriage has been a series of adventures, one right after the other. I can hardly wait to see what comes next. Happy Anniversary, John!
