As We Began Our Journey....


It is hard to believe that today is my 38th wedding anniversary! 

This was one of our favorite wedding photos, taken in a Brooklyn park after our church wedding ceremony.  We felt it portrayed our feeling that we were about to begin our journey through life together. We were so very young, so in love, and so excited to see what the future would bring!

After 38 years we now say we can count our bad days on one hand, as we have been very fortunate all our marriage. God blessed us with two wonderful children, their spouses, and two grandchildren, with another grandchild on the way. Life has been full!



Happy anniversary to the love of my life!  May our path together continue for many, many, many, more years!


 ♥ I love you!

    Oh yes, LA freeways are unique. I used to live in the heart of LA near the busiest interchange in the system. I've had my fill of LA traffic.

  38. Pat - I was so touched by the photos and your words "... can count on one hand the bad days." You two are a shining example of a good marriage. I had to smile too because your dress was so similar to what I wore when I got married in 1970. I'll have to send you a photo sometime. Hope it was a wonderful celebration. Hugs to you and Vinny.

  52. How sweet! I am sorry I am late seeing this! Life is busy, no 5 gchild Baptism this weekend, and I am doing the take home breads and centerpieces again, reception for 100. Seems like I just did this...I did! May was another gchild First Communion.
    Happy Anniversary, I am 4 ahead of you, but the same era.
    Good health to you both! Good luck with the house, it is a big endeavor. It took me a year to get over moving after being in the same house for 27 yrs, but I don't miss it at all. It was in the town I grew up in too, but a new house is so much fun!
