Mount St. Helens memories: An anniversary to remember

Mount St. Helens blew one day before our first wedding anniversary.

My wife said I didn’t have to do anything that big ever again for our anniversary. Staying indoors for a few days just added to the festivities.

It must have made quite the impression because we are still married after 31 years!
