These South Dakota lovebirds were married 40 years ago in their home town, right after Paul had joined the US Navy.  Their honeymoon was a cross-country drive to his new home port of San Diego. After his time in the Navy, which included time in my old Navy-brat home of Yokosuka Japan, they came back to their beloved South Dakota and raised their three daughters.  God has blessed Paul and Lori with sons-in-law and adorable grandbabies (with more to come!), and they brought the entire family out to San Diego to celebrate their 40th wedding anniversary in San Diego.

We met on Coronado and ventured out to the beach on North Island NAS to create wonderful family portraits and memories for the entire family.

Happy Anniversary Paul and Lori!  Anchors Away, and God Bless Our Troops!
