40 years!


https://www.printeryhouse.org/ProdPage.asp?prod=CL60600


Anniversary Shout-out!πŸ’’
It is our 40th Anniversary! Sean and I were married at St. Bridget's Catholic Church in Pacific Beach on June 28, 1980. Fr. Bill Diamond and Fr. Ginty were the guest priests who officiated at our wedding Mass. Mr. and Mrs. May (our La Mesa next door neighbors) commented that "they had seen marriages that didn't last as long as our ceremony!"

A good seque...40 years later! 
If you will bear with me...I wrote a little poem in honor of this milestone anniversary!

Forty years have come and gone
Since I married a man named Sean.
It has been quite a ride
Living life side by side.
Through all the trials and joys
We've been blessed with two boys.
We've watched them grow through the years
With joy and laughter and ... a few tears.
For our family of four
There's still more in store.
Our faith remains in God above
He strengthens us in our daily love.
My little pun
Is almost done.
Here's a toast to many more years...
A time to be grateful....Cheers!

    1. You are too cute! Yes, the dress was purchased in Ireland... 4th of July 1979; traveling with Nancy. We toured a convent in Limerick Ireland where they make lace items! ! The nun’s name was Sister Agnes, but her real name was Maura... she kept calling me her little namesake! Meant to be... Sean didn’t stand a chance! ❤️πŸ™πŸ₯°
