Happy 20th Anniversary

Well, 20 years ago today at 9 am Utah time, Glen and I were wed in the St. George Temple.
Yesterday marked 21 years since we had met.
We don't have set plans for celebrating our marriage anniversary, but each year on the anniversary of when we met, Glen gives me silk roses. He gave me one red rose in 1989. Last night he gave me 21...that means that over the years I have received 231 red silk roses. That's a lot of roses.
As for celebrating our anniversary this year, I have never attended a General Conference in Salt Lake. So, in October, our plan is to do that (I was afraid of snow in April and Glen has a play that weekend anyway).
Happy Anniversary Sweetheart. Thanks for marrying me.

Friends and Intervention Night

Many years ago a few women in our ward started a scrapbooking get together. Once a month we would meet at someone's home and bring projects to work on...many of the original members have moved away, but we have found a few more to take their place.

A few years ago Jennifer said we should change the name from scrapbooking to something else, since scrapbooking was one of the least worked on activities when we met. Don't know who (think it was Terra?) suggested calling it Intervention Night. We loved the idea and have adopted that as our name.

Friday night I took a turn and had it at my house. What a wonderful time. We ate and talked and some even managed to get some things done as well (I worked on deciding what photos taken on our Alaskan cruise last July are worth printing...I'm only a little behind on printing my photos...). It truly is an intervention...for we all gain a little of our sanity back.

So thanks DonNell, Suzie, Jennifer, Terra, Heidi, Kim, and Jana for driving so far to come to my place, eat my food, and keep me mentally well. The fact that I got less than 3 hours sleep that night was well worth it.

So, who's having it next month?
