We had so much fun going to Disneyland with Maggie's Cheer squad. We didn't entertain the girls much we had FREE time. So we enjoyed the rides especially ScReAmInG we rode it twice. Soarin is always a favorite, check out Doug working while we were trying to Play!!! The Cheerleaders had so much fun.

So Courtney planned dinner for Darin's family and us at the Mandarin in Bountiful. At the end of Dinner they brought out Fortune Cookies that said...Darin and Courtney are having a baby. I screamed...Doug didn't take one and Missy's cookie didn't have a fortune in it. Michelle giggled and laughed and Rod and everyone else didn't know what to do. It was a great Night....Thanks Darin and Courtney we are all so excited to start shopping for someone else.

Thank you for being the best mother-in-law that I could ask for. Thanks for always being so willing to babysit my kids no matter what time of day. Thanks for giving Doug good genes so that we could have beautiful children. Thanks for saying weird words that we could get a big chuckle out every time you said it.<br />I love you and will miss all the good times we had teasing you, hanging with you and just being able to always know that you loved me too.

After a hot afternoon and waiting around we got our spots 3 rows back from the front of the stage. In the mean time other people decided that they could just show up and not wait in the HOT sun and get a good spot. We had several fights trying to hold our ground. Doug had girls grinding on him so he would move but we stood our ground and got a good spot. David almost beat the crap out of a few girls and Darin had to tell a chick to quit smoking pot but other than that we enjoyed our favorite Jack Johnson songs and sang along and felt like we were in Hawaii.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2911904947542191788-4447731800925391821?l=gretchenanddoug.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>the glendenning familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13890296446017185619noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2911904947542191788.post-8017835681687179982008-08-12T13:32:00.000-07:002008-08-12T14:57:07.138-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_CNm2FC8jcBU/SKH4lFCZ9_I/AAAAAAAAAFE/C_1gPuXWtx8/s1600-h/DSC05998.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_CNm2FC8jcBU/SKH4lFCZ9_I/AAAAAAAAAFE/C_1gPuXWtx8/s320/DSC05998.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5233737557872343026" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_CNm2FC8jcBU/SKH4lnURo5I/AAAAAAAAAFM/MFwa-NvNZlM/s1600-h/DSC05989.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_CNm2FC8jcBU/SKH4lnURo5I/AAAAAAAAAFM/MFwa-NvNZlM/s320/DSC05989.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5233737567074100114" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_CNm2FC8jcBU/SKH4mIM8HxI/AAAAAAAAAFU/Xb8r2MfijU4/s1600-h/DSC05985.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_CNm2FC8jcBU/SKH4mIM8HxI/AAAAAAAAAFU/Xb8r2MfijU4/s320/DSC05985.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5233737575901699858" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_CNm2FC8jcBU/SKH4mSGb9WI/AAAAAAAAAFc/55yhZD9uP5E/s1600-h/DSC05987.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_CNm2FC8jcBU/SKH4mSGb9WI/AAAAAAAAAFc/55yhZD9uP5E/s320/DSC05987.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5233737578558780770" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_CNm2FC8jcBU/SKH4mj8rKDI/AAAAAAAAAFk/Vaf3eisTpFg/s1600-h/DSC06001.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_CNm2FC8jcBU/SKH4mj8rKDI/AAAAAAAAAFk/Vaf3eisTpFg/s320/DSC06001.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5233737583349671986" /></a><br />Doug, Mags and I went to New York for the very last week of Summer! Maggie starts school on August 12! YUCK!!<br />So we stayed at the Trump International and it was the week of Famous People. Our first encounter was Luke Wilson. Oh Course Mags and I were still catching zzz's but Doug saw him. Then we were leaving the Hotel and we noticed that there were some BIG shoes sitting in the Lobby. We turned around and there was Shaq! We were to shy to ask for a picture so sorry SHAQ fans. Then we went to Little Mermaid and paparazzi were everywhere. Katie Holmes and Suri were there. Little Mermaid was so good, Disney sure knows how to put on a show! We took a train ride to Wilmington DE for a look at a new Firebirds that had just opened. It's nice to be able to put a star on my map for DE and Penn. I never been there before so that was fun and eating at Firebirds is always good. We stuffed ourselves and then enjoyed the Train home. We also ran in Central Park and saw commercials and movies. WE enjoyed the Met this time visiting the Superhero, fashion...That was fun. But then we went and saw Chorus Line with Mario Lopez!!! need I say more? He is so cute! It was so good. But on Friday when we were leaving the Jonas Brothers were staying at our Hotel. The old bag that I am I didn't really know who they are but Maggie wanted to stick around to see them, So we didn't get to Magnolias for some cupcakes...And we never got to see them either. We had a great time! We enjoyed a Bread basket at every restaurant and now we are paying the Price!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2911904947542191788-801783568168717998?l=gretchenanddoug.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>the glendenning familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13890296446017185619noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2911904947542191788.post-65210127187294950682008-07-21T16:21:00.000-07:002008-07-21T17:14:37.014-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_CNm2FC8jcBU/SIUjq1PKDqI/AAAAAAAAAEc/HqDS9rCqqA8/s1600-h/DSC00636.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_CNm2FC8jcBU/SIUjq1PKDqI/AAAAAAAAAEc/HqDS9rCqqA8/s320/DSC00636.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5225622161385459362" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_CNm2FC8jcBU/SIUjrZqWcSI/AAAAAAAAAEk/MzuMXvflvto/s1600-h/DSC00660.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_CNm2FC8jcBU/SIUjrZqWcSI/AAAAAAAAAEk/MzuMXvflvto/s320/DSC00660.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5225622171163193634" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_CNm2FC8jcBU/SIUjrsDJ1sI/AAAAAAAAAEs/WtUVn4X-TLo/s1600-h/_MG_1659.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_CNm2FC8jcBU/SIUjrsDJ1sI/AAAAAAAAAEs/WtUVn4X-TLo/s320/_MG_1659.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5225622176099063490" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_CNm2FC8jcBU/SIUjsAjM__I/AAAAAAAAAE0/fxFnI0v_2GQ/s1600-h/DSC00650.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_CNm2FC8jcBU/SIUjsAjM__I/AAAAAAAAAE0/fxFnI0v_2GQ/s320/DSC00650.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5225622181602197490" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_CNm2FC8jcBU/SIUjsXzr2jI/AAAAAAAAAE8/PPpjzzhNXOY/s1600-h/DSC00666_2.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_CNm2FC8jcBU/SIUjsXzr2jI/AAAAAAAAAE8/PPpjzzhNXOY/s320/DSC00666_2.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5225622187845343794" /></a><br />The Groupie does it again...This gives a new meaning to the Pink Ladies. What a great feeling it is to help someone else. We finally found our "CAUSE". Chelsi's run gives us a new meaning and what a fun time we all had. It's so nice to know that you can help someone and still have fun. Nancy had a dream to have a race in Chelsi's name. We thought that we would have about 200 people or so support our cause. We were overwhelmed when we had 560 people preregister and and over 800 people show up. We felt like we were really successful. The money will go towards a Scholarship in Chelsi's name to local High school track athletes.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2911904947542191788-6521012718729495068?l=gretchenanddoug.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>the glendenning familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13890296446017185619noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2911904947542191788.post-89589493236247360822008-07-02T22:03:00.000-07:002008-07-02T22:10:50.915-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_CNm2FC8jcBU/SGxfKeR0ewI/AAAAAAAAADw/HxxsqrzPhas/s1600-h/DSC05758.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_CNm2FC8jcBU/SGxfKeR0ewI/AAAAAAAAADw/HxxsqrzPhas/s320/DSC05758.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5218650701746699010" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_CNm2FC8jcBU/SGxfKg-C02I/AAAAAAAAAD4/OId0qH4N5mI/s1600-h/DSC05751.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_CNm2FC8jcBU/SGxfKg-C02I/AAAAAAAAAD4/OId0qH4N5mI/s320/DSC05751.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5218650702469059426" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_CNm2FC8jcBU/SGxfLLXvP-I/AAAAAAAAAEA/SugAxyyECVE/s1600-h/DSC05775.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_CNm2FC8jcBU/SGxfLLXvP-I/AAAAAAAAAEA/SugAxyyECVE/s320/DSC05775.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5218650713851117538" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_CNm2FC8jcBU/SGxfLqZx8uI/AAAAAAAAAEI/43j6qOyUNZA/s1600-h/DSC05773.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_CNm2FC8jcBU/SGxfLqZx8uI/AAAAAAAAAEI/43j6qOyUNZA/s320/DSC05773.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5218650722181182178" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_CNm2FC8jcBU/SGxfL13RO4I/AAAAAAAAAEQ/z3pfxwMTTKg/s1600-h/DSC05756.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_CNm2FC8jcBU/SGxfL13RO4I/AAAAAAAAAEQ/z3pfxwMTTKg/s320/DSC05756.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5218650725257657218" /></a><br />Wow what a week!

I was so proud when I got the picture of his poster. He did learn something from his Mom. I remember all the late nights doing school projects. He did listen and learn after all!<br /><br />Okay well this week didn't go as bad as I thought it was going to go, but holy cow was I humbled on Friday. I got this number of some lady from Beijing, a potential investigator. People from Beijing have really good mandarin and they have a really thick accent so it is really hard to understand. I call this lady up and schedule her we meet with her on Friday and it was probably the roughest lesson I've taught. I just completely couldn't understand a word she said. I felt so worthless. Elder Whiting is a really good missionary, hard working, really fun, but the language is not clicking. He is only a move younger than me but I daresay my chinese coming out of the MTC is better than his is now, so basically its all me in lessons. So this was our first lesson together just me and him. All other lessons when I don't understand things I could just look over at my companion and he would understand or between the both of us we could get pretty close to figuring it out. Well we are trying to teach this lady and I just have no idea what is going on so I go to look at my companion like I usually do and that has no use anymore. It's like this, if I don't understand what's going on nobody does. I've never been more humbled. I got home and just got down on my knees and prayed so hard for Heavenly Father to help me, things seem to be getting better.<br /><br />I learned so much Saturday though. Saturday was statutories, statutory holidays are when the Government declares it a Holiday and all of these Phillipino workers get the day off. So one of the zones in our mission is called the international zone. If you serve international you speak english and work with all the international people but is what it is is phillipina work. You just teach and baptize philipinas. Its in the international zone where they have church everyday of the week for the phillipinas who only get one day a week off. When it is statutories there is just phillipinas everywhere. So saturday the international elder called us up and asked us to come and help them with statutories, because there are so many people out when its statutories we can go help the international elders for 4 hours. Lets just say English work and Chinese work is totally different. So there is this place called the world wide center and its just full of philipinas so everyday you just go there. So we get there at 12 and church starts at one. So we head down to World Wide and to pull people back to church, pull backs are definitely not the easiest thing either the church is like 3 subway stops away. So we head down there and we just start contacting people and itis just a steady flow of people. Well we end up pulling back the first philipina I contact. So we take her back to the church drop her off with these philipina members and go back to the world wide. It is amazing how good the members are in international. The branches are a mess because you have about 150-200 philipina women in a branch with no priesthood but they love the church its all they have. Well we go back and end up pulling back so more philipinas and you just put them in church then go back out its amazing. Time is up and I got to go this probably makes no sense, but I went in there thinking I was just going to pull back people like it was nobody's business and I did. But it got me thinking why don't I use that much faith in Chinese work? It got me thinking alot about how I do missionary work.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2911904947542191788-2863688468869244060?l=gretchenanddoug.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>the glendenning familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13890296446017185619noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2911904947542191788.post-12118364541941381522008-03-27T20:42:00.000-07:002008-03-27T20:46:36.855-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_CNm2FC8jcBU/R-xqBgiwSFI/AAAAAAAAACg/ge7wDU-PcAo/s1600-h/DSC05270.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_CNm2FC8jcBU/R-xqBgiwSFI/AAAAAAAAACg/ge7wDU-PcAo/s320/DSC05270.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5182633845344716882" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_CNm2FC8jcBU/R-xqCAiwSGI/AAAAAAAAACo/nXVEYP7oF-k/s1600-h/DSC05255.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_CNm2FC8jcBU/R-xqCAiwSGI/AAAAAAAAACo/nXVEYP7oF-k/s320/DSC05255.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5182633853934651490" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_CNm2FC8jcBU/R-xqCQiwSHI/AAAAAAAAACw/KFQ7lYswUl0/s1600-h/DSC05256.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_CNm2FC8jcBU/R-xqCQiwSHI/AAAAAAAAACw/KFQ7lYswUl0/s320/DSC05256.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5182633858229618802" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_CNm2FC8jcBU/R-xqCgiwSII/AAAAAAAAAC4/SybSmQrKQPQ/s1600-h/DSC05268.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_CNm2FC8jcBU/R-xqCgiwSII/AAAAAAAAAC4/SybSmQrKQPQ/s320/DSC05268.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5182633862524586114" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_CNm2FC8jcBU/R-xqDAiwSJI/AAAAAAAAADA/yhwC7K71MuA/s1600-h/DSC05259.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_CNm2FC8jcBU/R-xqDAiwSJI/AAAAAAAAADA/yhwC7K71MuA/s320/DSC05259.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5182633871114520722" /></a><br />What a beautiful Sunday for a Picnic.

It was very stressful with 37 girls trying out. But we were able to be on the winning side and made it! Courtney and Missy came down and we sat on pins and needles waiting for the text to come! She is one of 22 girls to make the squad. We are so happy for her. Go THUNDER!!! Shayli Petersen, Gentry Rynearson, Lexi Glauser, and Missy Turner are her friends that all made it.

I don't even know how to put it into words. The Week of Realizations might do it a little bit of justice. <br /><br />So it started off last p day. That night there was some huge lunar festival that we went to (thats some of the pics, Courtney how does that one look?). A bunch of missionaries were there so it was a lot of fun and there was a Chinese Opera that we stayed a little bit for. Everybody says the Chinese Opera is hen nan ting (very hard listen) but I didn't think it was that bad. It was pretty cool because it was all in Mandarin so it was fun to try and pick up what they were saying. I was really intrigued I wanted to stay longer but we had to get home. But earlier that day was one of the most spiritual coolest experiences I've had yet. We finally met the Prisoner, Siu Par Zu, out at Shek Pik Prison. So we go out there and it was kind of a miracle how we got in. He had allready had his 4 visitors a month so technically we weren't suppose to see him but one of the guards hooked us up and let us go back. He said if it was going to help his rehab it was all good. So we sit down and start talking with him and I have never been more touched in my life. His story is this. He was born in Hong Kong and at a young age he was baptized into the church. Late teens he went inactive and started doing his own thing. At about 20 he had a kid gets married (he's got an 18 year old daughter now) got divorced and some time he committed a sin. We didn't talk to him about what he did. So He does something in Hong Kong and flees to Taiwan scot free. He's in Taiwan for 5 years meanwhile he meets his fiancee and gets reactivated in the church and as he in his reactivation process he feels he needs to return to Hong Kong to make things right in his own life and to clear things up with God. I don't know how to describe my feelings when talking to him but for some reason it was so spiritual. You could just feel how repentant he was, you could just tell he feared God. It got me thinking alot about myself. Do I fear God that much? Could I do what he did? He talked to us alot about how depressing life in the prison is how life just sucks. We only had 30 minutes with him and we were separated by the glass and stuff but as we were leaving he stood there and waved at us and it was so hard to walk away. It made me feel really grateful for being able to walk outside and live life the way I wanted too. IDK it was just a really cool experience. This guy is in Prison for 7 years he gets out in 2011, I realize he is in prison for a reason you don't get a seven year sentence for doing nothing but eventhough he's a convict he's a hero in my eyes.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2911904947542191788-8142662383309879755?l=gretchenanddoug.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>the glendenning familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13890296446017185619noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2911904947542191788.post-1639613420598134992008-02-27T16:26:00.000-08:002008-02-27T16:29:38.113-08:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_CNm2FC8jcBU/R8YARWoKu9I/AAAAAAAAAAY/SgwqjdmuxX0/s1600-h/DSC02524.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_CNm2FC8jcBU/R8YARWoKu9I/AAAAAAAAAAY/SgwqjdmuxX0/s320/DSC02524.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5171821520213425106" /></a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2911904947542191788-163961342059813499?l=gretchenanddoug.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>the glendenning familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13890296446017185619noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2911904947542191788.post-55791763832314846472008-02-25T20:16:00.000-08:002008-02-25T20:20:40.212-08:00Doug and I just celebrated 25 years of marriage. It seems like just yesterday that we were getting married and moving to North Carolina. We had a great few days of celebrating. Doug surprised me with 25 gifts for 25 years. I had so much fun going around the house finding gifts.
