Happy Anniversary!

It's been 28 years!  It's hard to believe... since we are still in our 20's ;)



Thanks for the beautiful flowers!

Also... for taking me to see my favorite singer (besides you!) at the 
BYU Homecoming Spectacular!


The BYU Men's Chorus
(James sang with them 30 years ago!)

BYU International Folk Dancers
(I danced with a Ballroom Dance Team all through High School... we hosted the Folk Dancers at a festival in Las Vegas...  Our team also studied with their director many years ago!)

Young Ambassador's!

Brian Stokes Mitchell singing "Impossible Dream"... amazing!  We first saw him at the OC Tanner Gift of Music at the Conference Center two years ago.  We had never heard of him before but he sounded familiar, he has the most beautiful voice!  He has been in several shows on Broadway like Man of La Mancha and Ragtime.  We cried through every song he sang that night.  He also sang "Through Heaven's Eyes" from Prince of Egypt.  When we got home we looked at our Prince of Egypt Soundtrack and realized that's where we had heard his voice before!  He was then invited to sing with the Tabernacle Choir in their Christmas Concert that year.  We weren't lucky enough to get tickets that year...  We did get tickets as he was a featured guest in the 24th of July Concert with the Choir this year.  Then BYU announced he would be singing at the Homecoming Spectacular... on our Anniversary Weekend!  Wahoo!!!  Everyone who hears him falls in love with his voice and personality.  He has become a favorite here in Utah, and he seems to love coming here too!


Finale with all of the performers...

We had a wonderful time.  We are so lucky to be able to see such amazing talent on a regular basis.  We love the power of great music!
