Thirty years ago, we placed our marriage in God’s hands, trusting Him to lead our lives as one. Through every season, our love has been strengthened by faith, prayer, and the promise to walk together in His grace. God blessed us with two perfect sons, Chris and Matthew, the greatest gifts of our union, and a growing family that includes many beloved nieces and nephews.

We have traveled near and far, grateful for the beauty of the world and the memories made side by side. We have also endured profound loss, the Matriarch in the

Gonzalez family our mother Carmen, as well as my cherished grandparents. Our beloved parents of Anselmo, mama Celsa and papa Ramon are also our guardian angels in Heaven. Leaning always on God’s comfort and on each other when our hearts were heavy.

As we celebrate 30 years of marriage, we give thanks to God for His faithfulness, for a love refined through joy and sorrow, and for the journey that continues under His guidance—hand in hand, forever committed to His plan for our lives.
