31 years and we are happily together.
We celebrated the day with our XYZ group — the wise and mature gang! They even had a floral arrangement for us.
Some of them even remember . . . 1976 and I had just started pastoring here in Kindersley. From May until October the phone bills were expensive. My fiancee was in Toronto — I was thousands of miles away in Kindersley. The beginning of October I climbed in the car with my grandmother and a friend of hers. We were off to the wedding. And a great time it was. We had two weeks of honeymoon (actually two weeks from the wedding I was to report to Kindersley Alliance Church). On our way to Kindersley we stopped in Prince Albert, Saskatchewan. There we attended a youth conference while still on our honeymoon. My wife met the group we would minister to for four years.
I guess our married life has never been lived totally alone! So, thanks XYZ, for hosting a great anniversary dinner and for joining us on our anniversary.
