It Was a Nice Visit in Tuscaloosa For Larry's and Genell's 25th Anniversary Celebration!

Twenty-five years make a lot of difference, don't they! It was wonderful to see the love shared between Larry and Genell and to see how the family how grown. When they married in 1982, Genell had one young daughter, Kim, and Larry had two young teenagers, Yvonne and Chris. (Thinking about that, Chris probably hadn't quite reached his teenage years.) ANYWAY, Larry and Genell married and some three years later, the Lord blessed them with a daughter whom they named Krystle.

In the years since, Yvonne married her high school sweetheart, Tim. They traveled to Russia nearly 5 years ago and adopted their darling daughter, Emily. Kim married Tim and they have two sons: Jake and Colton. Chris married Bonnie and is a wonderful dad to her children, Alex and Alyson. And this past May, Larry's and Genell's "baby" girl Krystle graduated from college!
We told Larry and Genell that if they will plan to attend our 50th in fifteen years, we will plan to attend their 50th in twenty-five years. The deal was sealed ~~ the Lord willing.

Below is the pic of Larry and Genell with Kim, Yvonne and Chris at the time of their marriage. The 2nd picture was made at their 25th annivesary celebration and includes their daughter Krystle.

Happy 25th Anniversary to Larry and Genell

Hebrews 13:4~~ Marriage is honourable in all...

We are headed off to Tuscaloosa today to join in the celebration of (Richard's brother) Larry's and Genell's 25th wedding anniversary where we will enjoy seeing them (we haven't seen Larry and Genell since last December) and their family: Yvonne and her family: hubby Tim and daughter Emily; Chris and his family: wife Bonnie and kids Alex and Alyson; Kim and her family: hubby Tim and sons Jake and Colton; and last by not least, their daughter Krystle who is recently graduated from college. We will attend the first hour of the celebration at Cottondale Baptist Church and then motor on up to the Huntsville area to spend the night with Chip and attend his church on Sunday. We will enjoy the day with him ~~ though Sundays are his busy day. We usually have real good fellowship with him after church on Sunday nights. He invited us to come so we can only assume it is a good time for him for us to visit! We will leave by 8:00 a.m. on Monday morning to make the 5-1/2 hr. trip home. It will be a nice get-away.

We will come home on Monday and may have to make hurricane preparations depending on the track of IKE by then. It is looking like he will come into the Gulf so we will have to keep a wary eye on him. Oh well....... we'll worry about that come Monday. For now, we will go to Tuscaloosa and enjoy seeing a lot, if not all, of our "D" family there as well as a host of friends at our "home" church, and then enjoy being at Chip's for 2 nights and a day. We are enjoying the freedom of being retired!!
