At the reception center that evening with our parents.

Here is the line...I still like the rainbow colors

April 25

Thursday the 28th, is our wedding anniversary. We were married on a Thursday. It's been 45 years. The time went by so fast.......it doesn't seem possible. We were so young and hopeful on this day. It was a beautiful spring day, warm and still. The blossoms were out. This photo was taken at the Reception center ..... "The Crestwood Villa". We had a live band and dancing going on. Lots of guests came, and I remember my face actually hurt from smiling so much.

April 17 2011 Changing up the blog!

I have decided to take my personal blog in a new direction. I will be posting on Sundays...mostly old photos with a little story or facts from my life. This is the home that I grew up in, in Murray Utah. My parents bought this house when I was three years old. I still remember when they first looked at it, and I wanted them to buy it because there was a table downstairs with a little airplane sitting on it!!! I lived here until I married at 22 years of age. My parents sold the home in 1978 when they moved to St George for my mother's health problems. I had five children at that time, and I felt like the world would end with my mom moving 300 miles away. This house didn't look like much when my parents bought it... but mom landscaped it and cared for it, and it was beautiful inside and out. Not so today... I can hardly stand to drive past it now. It looks so bad. But...this is how it is in my memory. Stay tuned for childhood stories that happened here.
