40 Years!!!!
June 11, 1977
14,600 Days
350,400 Hours
2,080+ Choir Rehearsals
2 Sons
2 Daughters-in-Love
5 Marvelous Grandchildren 
All because two people fell in love…this family!!! 
Here we are, on our way, married just a “minute!”
Married now for 21,024,000 minutes!
Thank you Gary for leading and loving well.
There has been much JOY in the Journey and I look forward to
walking with you as we walk out this life together!
This rolling pin is also 40 years old…
It’s rolled out lots of biscuits, pie dough and dumplings…
I love the way the flour fills in the etching of our names and wedding date.
I pray one of my grandchildren will cherish this old rolling pin as much as I have.
I’ve loved my life as your wife, Gary. I’m thankful for the man, minister, husband, father, father-in-law, grandfather, and friend you are. God blessed me with you and I’m thankful for every minute (over 21 million of them). The hard times and the good times have blended to make us stronger together. You are a gift straight from the Hand of God to me and I’ll love you forever. After all, we’ve got 40 years invested in each other…let’s keep on going!

Happy anniversary. As I look at your wedding photos of your dress and cake, my dress looks like yours and so did my cake!
