Happy 49th Anniversary to Ron

Our romance started in Rome in September 1968 on our way back from Kenya. We first kissed the Trevi Fountain so it is appropriate to post this picture of us there this past December.  Ron and I threw 3 coins in the fountain in 1968 and wished  to return to Kenya. That happened in 1988 when our family moved to Kenya. So our connection to Rome is strong and we had not anticipated returning to Rome. I did throw 3 more coins into the fountain and made another wish. No reports on that wish yet.

Ron and  have have many wonderful travel experiences through the years. We have been blessed with family and friends that have supported us, prayed for us, and encouraged us wherever we have lived. Today on our 49th wedding anniversary, July 17, 12018 we are not together. I leave Rome tomorrow and Ron leaves Oregon where we will meet at the Washington Dulles Airport and then go to our son, Mark's house for be with family. On Friday we go on our final grand children's trip with Rania and Micah to Costa Rica. We are blessed.  - Nancy

Indeed, what an incredible blessing - and so excited that you will be reunited in just a few minutes (my guess) on the 18th after this time apart. So serendipitous and such a blessing that after the summer of 1968, you ended up back in Kenya for such formative years for our family - and then a year in Rome - what an amazing blessing.

Enjoy the next chapter!
