What 26 years will do.



Inez and I met in August 1982 at BYU. We lived in the dorms (Helaman Halls, May hall) and hit it off from the moment we met. That was 26 years ago! At that time our lives were pretty much under control...we were in college, knew what we were doing and where our lives should go. College, marriage, kids...All before we were 30 of course!

Here in the first picture (on the left) you see Inez and I in October 1982 with her family on the deer hunt. The second picture is with our other wonderful friend, Lisa. That was taken in April 1985 just after Lisa's bridal shower. We met her in the dorms also. The 3 of us have our birthdays within 1 week of each other.... Great girls--so thankful they are my friends!! The picture on the right was taken just this last May. Inez is there with Neal, her 3rd (a surprise child) and me with my 1st, Jacob. Lisa, who took the picture of us has 4 children and her oldest daughter just got married in June!

We used to joke that Lisa would be rocking her grandchildren as we were rocking our own children. Who knows when her daughter will have children, but her grandkids could be playing with our kids! Weird! My how different life can turn out to be!
