Tomorrow Michael and Anna Pearce will celebrate their 21st wedding anniversary. It's not hard to remember their anniversary since Bert and I were married the same date, same year. Looking back at us in 1986, we looked so young. But not so young we were ... I was 33 and Bert was 28. He married me and three daughters, two of whom were teenagers. Talk about trial by fire for a first-time husband and instant father. In 21 years we've had a lot of adventures. We've watched all three daughters marry and welcomed sons-in-laws and grandsons. These two decades and a year have been full of everything that makes life good. We're blessed -- Kerri Rankin Thoreson, Coeur d'Alene Press.
