A BASKIN ROBBINS ANNIVERSARY

Yes, that is what Merrill called yesterday, Our "Baskin Robbins Anniversary" We celebrated our 31st anniversary. It is hard to believe that we have been married that long. Our life together has sure been filled with ups and downs, but we have always been committed to each other and I can say that our love for each other has never wavered. It has grown and matured, just like the two of us.

It is fun to reflect on our life together. Where we have been, where we are and where we hope to go. I honestly feel that our life together has been nothing short of amazing. I loved the fact that we have been really rather stable as far as a couple. We have lived in this very house for nearly 20 years. It is a wonderful feeling for us that all of our children have lived in this home. It is really our roots that we have given to them. It is our hope and our dream that this will always be their home, the place they remember and the place they love to come back to with their families.

Yesterday was a rather simple day. It is the kind we enjoy. We drove over to Sacramento to eat at Joe's Crab Shack. I love crab, Merrill on the other hand eats it because I love it. He hates how much work is involved :o)

We did a little shopping and then drove back home. It was just nice to have a little time to ourselves. It is something that we rarely get. Okay Merrill, we have set the bar high....Here is to many more years together.

I sure do love you. Matter of fact, I love you more today than yesterday, but not as much as tomorrow!!

It is sad for me knowing that I will never have what you two have, but at the same time I am so happy knowing that y'all have weathered so many storms and are stronger, better together as a couple and more in Love than ever. I can only pray that some day God will bring a man into my life who will love me as much as Merrill loves you, and vica-versa. Congratulations on so many wonderful years together. May God bless you with at least 30 more. Love ya both. Your sissy, Tammy

PROUD DAY TO BE PARENTS :o)

I am not too sure that it gets much better than this at this stage of life. I wanted to post this yesterday, but I just ran out of time. Merrill and I received a letter informing us that LisaMarie was in the second grade math Olympics at school. Now this in and of itself is a huge accomplishment. Only the top five students from each class were chosen. So Merrill took off and I got a babysitter for MacGyver. Off we went. Now I am a little sadden to say that we did not really expect much to happen. We felt it an honor that LisaMarie had made it this far. We got there a little early, got a good seat and sat back to enjoy the competition. Oh my, let me tell you we were on the edge of our seats after about three rounds. LisaMarie was faster than we even knew she could be. She was confident, poised and all together in control, not like her parents sitting out in the crowd. Maybe it helps to be the only girl at home with so many boys, you tend to have it more together than most....LOL. Roun...

TOTALLY AMAZING NEWS

WOW, first of all, I am in shock with the email that I have received. It is unreal that someone even thinks this highly about this family. We see us as a mom and a dad to many children...that is true....but something this wonderful...well, I am not sure about that. Rather than try to explain it, here are excerpts from the email.... The nationwide famous and wealthy PEW Foundation contacted us at Sierra Association of Foster Families.. they asked us to give them info on a family in Nevada who has adopted children and who is AN OUTSTANDING ADOPTIVE FAMILY in our state.. I wrote the nomination about you two.. and your family WHEN you win.. you will be invited ( i'm sure all expenses paid) to Capital Hill to receive the CONGRESSIONAL COALITION ADOPTION ANGEL AWARD and a big dinner with the politicians including maybe...

JUNE 30, 1978

HAPPY 30th ANNIVERSARY!!!! How does one even begin to express the joy that I feel in my heart and soul for being blessed to have been married to the most wonderful man for 30 years? The bottom line, I can't Anything I write here is a feeble attempt to try to convey what is in my heart. My cup truly runneth over. My wishes, that both of my parents were alive to see this day. My daddy came close, my mom not so. They had their doubts about Merrill and in the end they both knew that he was all that I ever really needed and in him I could really have everything I ever dreamed of. How does one really reflect over the past 30 years of life. Life in and of itself is just amazing. We all go through up and downs. We all face day to day challenges that at times we are not sure we will ride it out. Many times we lose the battles, but in the end we really win the war. We have had to say goodbye to so many people that we loved and cherished. Some of those went in a proper time frame, many of tho...
