Still happy after all these years

February 14, 1980

It was a stormy day.
It was a stormy weekend.
It rained so much that some of the freeways in Los Angeles were closed.
We got stuck in water-flooded intersections twice trying to get from Ray's parents' home to my parents' home. We had to be towed out both times.
Many people couldn't make it to our reception.
We couldn't get to Big Bear for our honeymoon.
We couldn't get out of California to get back to Utah.

It was the best beginning to a marriage one could ever want - it had nowhere to go but up!

And that's exactly what it has done. Gotten better and sweeter every year. These first thirty years have flown by, and I hope to have thirty more that are even better and sweeter than these first thirty years.

I think that's what happens when you marry your very best friend.
