IT ALL STARTED 40 YEARS AGO!

How did that happen? Where has the time gone? It is truly amazing to think that Steve and I began a new branch of the Price family by making covenants with each other and God for all eternity in Idaho Falls LDS Temple 40 years ago! It was a dream come true day for me as we made our way north to celebrate this momentous occasion. We stopped at Hilary and Adam's to drop of the pickup and had lunch with them. It was a quick but fun visit. With a brief stop at the Pepperidge Farm outlet to stock up on Tim Tam cookies, we made it to Idaho Falls where we attended a temple session and had a nice prime rib dinner in the cafeteria. Here's my anniversary gift to Steve. This "tree of life" bowl was fresh out of the kiln of a local potter on Thursday. It seemed so appropriate for the celebration of our family tree.

After our temple session, we headed north to Heather and Aaron's to stay overnight in our Idaho vacation home.
Elsie loves her "Papa"!

Don't you love Quinn's "mohawk" hairstyle?
The kids loved showing us how the construction of their new home is coming along. It is a beautiful, well-designed family home.


These new kitchen cabinets are partially installed. You're gonna love it, baby.


Heather and Aaron's office is awesome.


Here's the family room/theatre room.

Saturday we drove an hour south to join the Lewis family for Cole's baptism. Here's Uncle Brent with some of their grandchildren.

Cole was so cute and so excited! Marci did a fantastic job of planning and organizing.


Then we made a stop by Jake and Marci's new house. It is going to be gorgeous and of course, it has a fabulous garage too. They will be living just down the road from Brent and Kathy.

There were six cars and trucks in the drive way and the funny thing was that every one of them was white.

We had a delightful weekend. It was nice to just spend time together even though we did a lot of driving. We love our family and feel so blessed. When we celebrate our 50th, we hope to go back to the Idaho Falls Temple again only this time with all of our children and their spouses. Ten years goes by quickly so put it on your calendar now!

I'm glad you had a nice anniversary. We were thinking about you! 40 years is a BIG DEAL!!! Definitely worth a celebration. I'm glad you were able to pause to reflect on your "accomplishment."

Congratulations on 40 years together! What a blessing! It was nice to see you guys even for just a few moments.

Funny how you live right around the corner but we don't see you very often and when we do it's hundreds of miles from home!
