"never-ending happiness"

True, enduring happiness, with the accompanying strength, courage, and capacity to overcome the greatest difficulties, will come as you center your life in Jesus Christ. Obedience to His teachings provides a secure ascent in the journey of life. That takes effort. While there is no guarantee of overnight results, there is the assurance that, in the Lord's time, solutions will come, peace will prevail, and happiness will be yours." Richard G. Scott, Ensign, Nov. 2006, 41

43 Years!

Yesterday was our 43 year anniversary and they have been great years and we are looking forward to many more. We had our struggles and our challenges but they have been worth it to be where we are now. Kristi sent congratulations and added the note "It's a very happy day to celebrate for so many of us." Yes we have been blessed with great kids, great sons and daughters in-laws, and OH those wonderful kids called grandchildren. How blessed we are to have this beautiful family of 34 and more to come. What a way to celebrate!

Our first house and car - this was in Okinawa. We were married in the Oakland Temple, had a one day honeymoon before flying off to Okinawa for the next year.
