First Date...

Our First Date - 32 Years Ago Today

Lagoon Opera House 

"The Unsinkable Molly Brown"

Ferris Wheel Ride After

Double Date With

Dwight Epperson & Jillyn Cahoon

Doug had just returned, a few days prior, from the Texas Dallas Mission.

When Doug phoned to ask me out, I thought to myself, "Why Not?"

Our Courtship & Engagement 

was Magical!

Marriage...LOTS OF WORK!!!

I wish I could offer up a Testimonial that intimated that Marriage is absolute Bliss!

At least, it hasn't been for us.  It has required a lot of compromise, sometimes heated disagreements, tremendous patience, respect & communication.

Mostly, it's about loving the other person more than ourselves!

Selflessness...And Empathy.

Our Marriage has had its "Ups & Downs"

and knowing what I know now, 

I still would have said, "Yes," to a First Date with Doug.

Some 32 years later...

Doug, you still keep me guessing,

You make me laugh,

You surprise me,

You can still make my heart skip a beat,

and unquestionably,

I wonder what's around the next bend of the road you've taken me on?

But it is YOU that I want to share EVERY ADVENTURE with!
I guess I should be asking myself, "Why Wouldn't I?"
 

Happy Anniversary, Doug! 
Thanks So Much For Our Hike Today!
