Happy Birthday Dad!
Louis Raymond Chambers' birthday is today!
I thought I'd take this time to write a little bit about him.
Mom and Lou were married on July 16, 1988, so last week they celebrated their 19th anniversary.
It took some time for them to find each other again. In high school they dated but then went their separate ways, Lou married and had 2 kids (Dusty and Brian) and mom married and had me. After 17 years of being apart and living separate lives, they found each other again!
I remember when I first met Lou, I was on my way to prom and he arrived at our home with long hair and a long scruffy beard. I also remember he was wearing white pants! (yikes! white pants who wears those? Thank goodness mom, stylized him) Anyway, I was very Leary seeing how in my very teenage eyes he looked like Grizzly Adams, but nonetheless he was very nice.
After that mom and Lou were inseparable, he went back to Oregon where he lived and so as you can imagine the phone was constantly busy. That surely didn't help my teenage social life, mom and I fought over the telephone constantly. After about 3 months they announced that they were getting married. I was excited to finally have a brother and sister. Dusty was only 2 years younger than me, we had such a great time together, I was 17 by this time and she was 15, so it was fun to be the big sister and drive her around everywhere. Brian was 4 years younger than me and I really enjoyed having a little brother to take care of.
On July 16, 1988, mom and Lou were married. It took some time and a few years later he had the missionaries come and teach him, shortly after that he as baptized.
I feel so fortunate to have such a loving and caring father who truly loves my mom. He's a great grandfather to our kids as well. We are so happy that after 16 years of cohearsing they are finally living here in Reno and have just bought their home less than a mile away from ours.
Hope you have a Wonderful Birthday! We love you so much!
