The year is 1973 and we are at the Salt Lake City Airport. Jimbob and I are 19 years young and in just a few minutes he will board a plane to fly to Jolly Old England for two years. We look like little kids! (and Connie, does your mother approve of that short dress??) After all these years I still remember the ache in my heart as I watched his airplane disappear. In retrospect, we would not have traded those two years for anything. Two short years in an eternity of togetherness is not a long time at all...

You liar....that's a picture of Cassidy and you know it!!! Kidding.....but man, I cannot believe how much you two look alike!
I remember the day I was in JomBob's shoes. Kind of a hard thing to do, but worth it. Lisa and I followed in your footsteps.
And to think that was 35 years ago. Sheesh.
That is the cutest picture ever! I had no idea that you two did the waiting thing...good for you! Lance is right, your girls are definintly yours!!
Fabulous picture...makes us smile!
Hey! I kinda do look like you! Actually I really do... I know that ache in your heart feeling, It's not something I'd like to repeat. But it was surely worth it! You can check out my blog now, if you'd like- I did my first post just barely! http://cassandjared.blogspot.com/
You are so darling! I love that suit. You have the right perspective, too. Sometimes when I hear about girls waiting for missionaries or not wanting them to go, I think they don't get it. But you always have. And I'm so happy that I know you tow!
What do you mean "look like kids"? You are kids. By the way, speaking of looking like family, I had an ID photo taken at Sam's Club the other day. When he handed it to me, I thought it was a photo of Steven on my card.
Never thought yoood survive those 2 years! Remember when we tried to record us whistling a song in harmony, for Jimi (it didn't work, by the way--mostly we laughed in harmony!).
And we LOVED those shoes!
