Below are pictures from our anniversary evening. We spent a little bit of time at Dick's parents to get to see Dick's nephew Japheth Stauffer and his family who were stopping in enroute from a week with her family in Virginia back to their home in Minnesota. Japheth and Aimee have five adorable little children.
Then we took Destiny to my friend Rose's house and went to Olive Garden with John and Elaine Nissley. I think we two couples could spend a week together and still not be finished talking. Dick and John grew up together as neighbor boys. Elaine and I grew up together at Manheim Christian Day School and Lancaster Mennonite. When we two couples began dating we had so many fun times together. When our children were young we spent a lot of time together, but as they've grown up and we've both become busy with life, we need to schedule events in order to have time to catch up with each other. It's a really neat thing to be still be friends with someone we have been close to since childhood. Thank you, John and Elaine, for a very special evening together!

There is nothing like good friends who share our genes and those who share our history. I am so glad that you and Dick had a good time with your friends. And to celebrate another anniversary! That is really great. (WhyfordidyounotgotoCrackerBarrel?) And I believe that I have seen Dick's nephew's Xanga site somewhere along the way. I think that one of "my" girls was in Canada with him when she was a child (Gracegiven). She is actually my cousin's daughter, but she lived with us for a while before she got married, and now is a member of the Bible study group. I am still sorry that I didn't get to see you when we were up there week before last. When there are five people to think about schedules really do funny things. Hopefully it can happen another time. Have a great week!
