We were married at St. Edmonds Catholic Church on August 8, 1981 in Lafayette, Louisiana.  We settled in Houston, Texas area; eventually moving to League City, Texas where we raised our 4 children.  In the last 20 years we have celebrated 4 college graduations, and 4 Catholic weddings which added 4 amazing individuals to our family.  The family has continued to grow as we have welcomed 12 grandchildren in the last 16 years and more on the way!     

Our prayer is that the Bullseye Marriage book strengthens and encourages couples to continuously shoot for the bullseye of a Sacramental relationship where God is named and recognized as the center of their everyday life together.
