This last Saturday (November 21st) was a very special day for my parents; it was their 40th wedding anniversary. They've done a lot in forty years. Just to name a few: lived in four different states (Utah, Texas, Nebraska, and California. Did I miss any?) been in the army (they lived on a base camp in Texas where my brother Aaron was born. Did you know his delivery only cost $8?) went to law school AFTER having 7 kids, they have 7 kids (3 boys, 4 girls), one daughter-in-law, 4 son-in-laws, have 4 children that served missions, have 11 granddaughters and 3 grandsons, they've traveled to many different states and countries (the Caribbean, Mexico, Brazil, Uruguay, Paraguay, and Argentina) BUT they've only just begun. They just bought a house in Idaho and plan on moving there in March. They would also like to serve a mission together soon, and continue visiting grandkids as they keep coming. They've really been trying to eat healthy and exercise so that they can see all their grandkids' blessings, baptisms, graduations, weddings, and, one day, have kids of their own. What an amazing legacy they have, one that keeps on growing. Happy Anniversary mom and dad, and thanks for not stopping after having 6 kids!

Congratulations to your folks. They are great people, and we are sure glad that they had that last little girl (who is now one of our girls too!)
Oh, my gosh--your mom is such a hottie in that picture!!! Rrroowwl! No wonder your dad's been hanging around all those years. ;) You look so much like her--I can see you in her eyes and in her smile. Congratulations to them!
(My parents just celebrated their 18th anniversary, which always makes me laugh to say, since it makes ME sound like an illegitimate child! You gotta love stepfamilies.)
