Beautiful Day

ByMarci

What a beautiful day for a wedding! Yesterday we had the honor of witnessing two people make a vow to love ~ honor~ and respect from that day forward. Michael Vennerstrom’s and his new bride AnnMarie was breathtaking as  she walked down the isle to “Great is Thy Faithfulness”.

We were thankful we were able to make the trip from California to Minnesota for the very special event. We remember when Michael, now a college graduate with a passion for others, was a perfect stand in for Dennis the Menice.

John and I just celebrated 26 years of marriage. Every time I see a young couple start their lives together it reminds me of the day we made similar vows.

We wish the new couple all the best as they begin this very excited new chapter in their lives together.

Congratulations!

    [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HC8MWwi6r6Y[/youtube] One day John asked why he always ends up with at least one single sock every laundry day. I told him the only rational explanation I knew, “The washing machine eats them!” “Are you expecting me to believe that?” John asked. He is such a skeptic when it comes to temperamental household appliances. “Seriously,”…

    What an experience to sit in a small airplane on a beautiful day and know that your sixteen year old is flying the plane..or at least learning to fly. Today was Scott’s first official flight as a student. I can remember Scott sitting in the jogging stroller next to Amy. He had a small remote…

    A few years ago I went with Scott and his Civil Air Patrol to Rosecrans Cemetery on Point Loma. We broke into teams and were given wreaths along with the sites where they were to be placed. The cadets respectfully set each wreath against a headstone, paused, and saluted. With a wreath in hand, we…
