WENDELL & MARILYN WEDDING ANNIVERSARY

JUNE 21, 1969
Wendell and I were married 37 years ago at the Manchester Reformed Presbyterian Church in Upper Burrell. We were the first couple to be wed in the present sanctuary. It was a beautiful sunny day... Perfect in every way. We had about 200 guests there that day as I remember.
If you check Wendy's blog, you can see a picture.
In those 37 years, we have shared good times and bad; happy and sad times. But we always did it together. We have 4 wonderful married children, and 4 wonderful son/daughter in laws. We also have 7 of the most wonderful and incredible grandchildren.
God has blessed us and continues to do so richly. Thank the Lord- he's been so good to us.
I can only pray that he gives us many many more years of time together.

Our first year of marriage was spent in Killeen Texas while Wendell finished out his tour of duty with the US Army. We returned to Butler when it was over, and we've been here ever since. His dad gave us a piece of property, and we built our present home there. 4 children were added to make our family complete ; and cats, dogs, a pet rat, a guinea pig, and even a horse.
We have no plans for our anniversary.. but will quietly celebrate at home.

I think I'll pass on jumping on the bed, thanks.. but perhaps Dad and I will get a chance to step out for the evening .. perhaps to Eat N Park?? for some fish..mmmmm
But likely we'll just spend a quiet evening here..getting the house in order for Saturday.. WOOHOO!!!!!!
