In Celebration of Our 22nd Anniversary




We were married on the "21st night, September" 1996. It was a simple wedding, officiated by our pastor, Steve Murrell.

Although the clothes and the circumstances were less than ideal, the Lord did bless our union that day. And even after two decades, 5 pregnancies, a sea of tears and a million "shoulda-coulda-woulda's", I can honestly say today that I am so blessed to be married to the man of my dreams.

    The Chosen Vessels! Remember that name of our dance team? Well, that is where we became close friends. One of us here by the way went to the Lord already, Gina Bulanadi from PLM(3rd from Left)
