Anniversary Weekend

Jerry and I had a nice weekend.  On Thursday night we celebrated our 36th wedding anniversary.  I just kept remembering off and on all day, what it was like 36th years ago driving from Chicago to Salt Lake City.  The temple was beautiful and so was the experience of being married for time and for all of eternity.  I made Jerry a card that I left where he would find it because I left so early for Seminary.  When I came home I found his card with an original poem, of course.  It made me laugh as it always does. He's like a fifth grader when it comes to poems, very sweet and it always rhymes.

That night we went over to help pack up an elderly couple who moved to Arizona. They were already gone and we helped their kids pack up what little was being shipped to them.


 On Friday we went to see the BYU "Living Legends" show.  It was at the Arlene Schnitzer theater in Portland.  It's very cool and their costumes are beautiful.  They are all of either Native American, Polynesian or Latin descendancy.  What I loved the most is that it was an actual show with a theme and a story (sort of like Cirque de Soleil only with dancing and singing), and that it was original, updated choreography.  It was obvious that these students are so talented, and they want to keep their traditions alive, but bring it into this century. I mean, I've seen fancy dancers, and these were the best I've ever seen.   If they come to your town, go see them.

Happy Anniversary! Sounds like you had a good one this year. I'm remembering the Ricks College dance show(can't remember what they called it at this moment), when Kelli was younger. That was awesome, so I'm sure the show you saw was awesome as well.
