HAPPY 26th ANNIVERSARY!

26 years ago today we said our vows at the Soldier Lutheran Church in Soldier, Iowa! I was a WHOLE lot thinner then - you had a head full of black hair - and we had 3 little girls to raise!

We've lived in 5 states since then - Iowa, Arizona, Texas, Ohio and now Colorado where we plan on retiring!

You've held numerous jobs since we married: farming, mechanic, sales rep for truck driving, director of a truck driving school, blackjack dealer, sales rep for heat detectors, sales rep for Sears, and now your own company, Mountain Aspen, with a fantastic granite business!

We've travelled far and wide the last 26 years - Alaska, Disneyworld, Jamaica, Canada, California, North Carolina, Montana, Las Vegas, and the Mexico towns of Puerto Vallarta, Yelapa, Tulum, Playa Del Carmen, Puerto Morales, Cabo, Loreto, La Paz, Kino Bay, Isla Mujures, Zihuatanejo and Cozumel - and yet some of my favorite times have been spent in our little camper, camping in the Colorado mountains and riding our ATV!

My one wish when we moved to Colorado 22 years ago was to live in a log house - and you've made that wish come true - more importantly, it's a home that was built by YOU and that's what makes it all the more special!

Our lives revolve around our children and grandchildren and neither of us would have it any other way - we both look forward to the years ahead, spoiling each and every one of them!

It's been 26 fantastic years spent with you - lots of laughter, lots of unknowns, and lots of just darn good fun!! HAPPY ANNIVERSARY GLENN - may the next 26 be just as great!!
