~Happy 16th Anniversary~

Sixteen years ago, to this day, Michael John Sebo (Daddy) did one of the most wonderful things in the world! He married a sweet and faithful, loving, young lady, Linda Rosette Chrispens (Mama).

Daddy and Mama 16 years ago on their wedding day.

They were married in a little store front church (Abounding Faith Fellowship) and the reception was held at a small Chinese restaurant: The Silver Palace. Three years ago, we started a tradition of going there as a family on Daddy and Mama's anniversary.

Now, a lot different.....

We entered the Silver Palace and were seated at the same table Daddy and Mama sat at 16 years ago to this day!!!! We had a lovely time and Daddy read to us Psalm 127 and 128.

Daddy's orange chicken...look good?

Afterwards, we visited the Holland-American Dutch store (where Daddy frequently went as a child) where we bought some goodies and visited our friend Oma Cathy, who works there.

Natey-shopping!

What's a Dutch store without dutch shoes?

We left the store and headed home, but all romance stories must have adventure- Daddy meant to get gas in Bellflower, but in all the excitement, he forgot... we ran out of gas in Huntington Beach! We managed to pull into the parking lot of a Coco's restaurant, (the same one where the men's breakfast's were held) and called AAA. The day being hot, we all went in and ordered a bottomless drink. The AAA man came and gave us fuel, and we were soon happily on our way home.

What a day!

Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh. (KJV)

Genesis 2:24
