Word's can't express what I feel today. I have spent 32 years with a man that I love with all my heart. A man who still makes my heart do funny things; my heart stops at times when I look at him and know how blessed I am to share life with him, it still skips a beat when I see him, it races when we are together or just holding his hand. I love to feel his touch, to laugh, cry, talk, share, explore, just be together and share space without words, and to be enveloped in his arms. He is my lover, best friend, companion, spiritual leader, protector, provider, my true earthly joy, life is wonderful because of him. I can't wait to spend Eternity with him, I never grow tired of being with him. He is an awesome husband, wonderful father, caring son, true friend, who wouldn't want him in your life.
Now brace yourself, here is a couple of pictures of our life together, OK more than a couple but I wanted to put so many more. I didn't even get to the ones where he is with the Grandkids. Some of those are my favorites. He is just the best!!!
This is Mark and I on our very first date, 5 days after he returned home from Argentina on his mission, April 1976.
February 4, 1977--We are young and eager to share life and all it brings.
My how we grow.
I love this group! I know that everyone isn't here, but as of today Mark and I have gone from 2, to 19, who would of ever imagined. Time flies by so fast.
Nostalgia.
Mark and Scott on his (Scott's) blessing day.
Mark and Jodi and her family on his graduation day.
Mark and Nicole the day they blessed adam.
Heidi and I at her visit. (Not my favorite picture but I added it from the small thumb nail, it looked better small, sorry Heidi--I owe you a better pic of us)
Thanksgiving 2006, Utah.
This picture was for our wedding announcement.
I love this man!
We took this picture tonight after we got home from dinner. February 4, 2008--32 years, and all I ask for is Eternity with him.

What beautiful people! How blessed we are to have you two as our loving parents! Congrats, Congrats! Especially liked the pic from today and the engagement picture...
I love you both so much. We are all so blessed to have you. Amazing parents, grandparents, and friends. Congratulations and thanks and all of the things you are supposed to say for an anniversary.
We love you and miss you.
CONGRATULATIONS!! By today's standards 32 years is quite the accomplishment... you two are the example of what a married couple should be. You have always been fantastic parents, and examples to us all. Anyone who knows you can see how happy you are to be together. It sets quite a high standard for the rest of us to try to follow... Thanks for sharing your thoughts and your pictures, and even though mine's not the best ;) I was noticing all the shiny happy people- all big smiles because we simply love to be together! Thanks for not only being an example of a great couple but for creating a great family! Love you and miss you both so much!
Congratulations! I know that you both have been an example to me. Just those few months at your house you both showed me love and were very nice to me. I truly enjoyed living there and wish I would have finished out my senior year with you guys..but you can always look back and see what you were supposed to do! Well keep up the good work!
Happy 32 years!! I loved all of the pictures. I think you are both so great and I'm glad you are so happy! :)
Congratulations! I hope that three decades from now Phillip and I have established a family as loving and fun as yours. :)
Congratulations! 32 years is amazing....LOVE all of the fun old pictures....you both look great! Thanks for sharing!
I'm glad you two found each other. I think based on this post that Connie may need to get her heart checked after stopping and starting and racing like that all the time. Thanks for being the bestest friends ever and Happy Anniversary.
