here they are the summer of 1979, the year before getting married:
here they are in good ol' 1983: (my favorite picture of them)
here they are now:
in 30 years they raised 8 children. 7 of the 8 have graduated high school. 3 of the 8 have graduated college. 3 of the 8 are currently in college. 1 of the 8 is studying to get her masters. 2 of the 8 are married. 1 of the 8 has children. 3 of the 8 live in Utah. 3 of the 8 live on the East Coast. 2 of the 8 live in London. they have raised a hamster, a cat, about a dozen fish and two puppies.
in 30 years they have lived in 4 different states. they have lived in two different countries.
you might think that this is somehow impressive, but what you don't realize is that my parents are the most amazing people i know. only truly amazing people would be able to raise 8 children and have them turn out half decent.
so, happy anniversary parents! i'm glad you did it.

If Leslie was not alive do those states count?
Happy Anniversary Dave and Rachelle!
I love your parents too and I'm so happy they're coming to visit soon. (Though I wish you were coming, too! Just bring the dogs. They can have their visit with Frodo.)
