Happy Anniversary to US!


Twenty-four years ago today at 10:30 a.m., with 113° heat outside, we were married in the Mesa, Arizona LDS temple. Here is the checklist from my journal listing the qualities I was looking for in the man I hoped to find and marry:



January 23, 1983 (4 months before meeting him!)
Eternal Companion Check List
~honors priesthood
~has leadership qualities
~Returned Missionary (espanol??)
~my best friend
~sense of humor
~treats me like a queen and with respect
~wants to understand me and DOES
~interested in other people’s welfare – sincere
~has knowledge of the gospel
~ambitious
~honest










Except for speaking Spanish, my sweet eternal companion hits every mark, and more. I am “Richly” blessed. I love you, Richie!
