It's hard to believe that my honey and I were married 31 years ago today! We look back and realize we had no idea what we were getting into! :)
Here we are 31 years later and by the grace of God we are still happily married. Sure, we've had our share of problems and struggles but God has been faithful and carried us through each situation.
On a side note: We found out recently that the pastor who married us started a new church in town a few years later. That church has now grown to over 7500 people and we have the privilege of worshipping there each week! He no longer pastors there but is still active in the church. We would love to connect with him and let him know we are still married - 31 years later!
**Songs sung at our wedding: "The Wedding Song (There is Love)" and "You Light Up My Life".

Gorgeous Weather!
Is it really March? We've had the most gorgeous weather the last few days. A little windy but in the 70's.
As I took a a quick walk around the building at work this afternoon, I was just amazed at the weather. The sky was so blue and the mountains looked awesome!
The weatherman does say that March can bring some heavy snowfall. Just hope it doesn't happen in May or June!

Beware of Telephone Scams!
It really upsets me that scammers prey off of senior citizens. We've all heard the horror stories of how the elderly have lost thousands of dollars to these lowlifes.
Just recently it really hit home when it was MY PARENTS who received the scam call. The caller indentified himself as their grandson, Chad, and said he was in jail in Canada. He asked them for $3500.
Mom got on the phone and started asking questions. When she said she could only send $100, the caller said forget it and slammed down the phone.
I'm so glad this story has a happy ending. As you've already figured out, Chad was not in jail and not in Canada for that matter. He was very upset when he found out about all this. It's still a mystery to us how someone connected my parents in one state with Chad in another state and knew he was their grandson.
The story of being in Canada in jail must be pretty popular right now. A few days later we read this story online: Telephone Scam

23 Years Ago Today
It may be Friday the 13th but today our family is remembering my father-in-law who passed away on this date 23 years ago.
Lowelldean Arthur Christenson, “Christy” to his friends, was a loving father and grandfather and is greatly missed. He left this earth way too early. We think about him often and miss him so much.
After all these years, I still think of Christy when I hear the song “I’ll Fly Away” that was sung at his funeral. Just a few weeks before he left this earth, he asked Jesus to be his Lord and Savior. We know he is in heaven and our great joy is that we will again see him one day!

Connecting with Old Friends
Through all our moves around the country we lost track of many old friends.
When I met Steve back in the 70s, his two closest friends started dating two of my best friends. We all married in 1978 and later were all stationed together in Germany.
As we moved around with the military, I lost track of these friends. Thanks to the internet we did find one of them a few weeks ago and he gave us the phone numbers of the others.
It was wonderful to reconnect and reminisce.
