Three years ago, Dean and I were married at St. Dominic’s Church in San Francisco in a small Catholic ceremony, then celebrated with all of our friends and family in Palm Springs a week later. We are heading to Palm Springs today for the holiday weekend—our first time back since 2010.
In our three years of marriage:
- We’ve lived in the same apartment complex in Lower Nob Hill, San Francisco and paid between $1,200-1,700 in rent.
- Rented out for several years, and finally sold my 1-bedroom condo in Lower Pacific Heights.
- Gone to Burning Man.
- Traveled to: Austin, LA, New York, Scottsdale, British Columbia Canada, Italy, Roatan Honduras, and England.
- Conceived and lost 2 angel babies.
- Hiked and raced hundreds of miles.
- Consumed hundreds of bottles of wine.
- Done yoga and zumba together.
- Started a movie club.
- Gone to church regularly (i.e., I got Dean to go to church.).
- Watched Everton football in Liverpool and San Francisco. Both wins!
- Watched the San Francisco Giants win two world series.
Happy Labor Day Weekend Everyone! Enjoy!
Happy anniversary! I absolutely love the photo on the steps 3 years later!! Adorable!! You’ve had some adventures (and some very sad happenings) and done a lot in your three years of marriage. Here’s to a lifetime more of memories and love! –Lisa

Happy Anniversary, Catherine 🙂 Three years is a wonderful anni to celebrate. You’ve done some amazing things together, and it’s so lovely to see them all there in a list.
Thank you Lizzi. By the way, do you celebrate Labor Day in England? We were on vacation this holiday weekend with my in-laws including my mum-in-law who is from Liverpool. Now I know where my husband gets his alcohol drinking capacity from!
No, we don’t have it here. We have the imaginatively named ‘August Bank Holiday’ the weekend prior to Labor day though – then nothing til Christmas.
And yes, some members of my nation tend to be quite hardcore drinkers…
Such a simple post but such a very sweet, telling post. TIme flies. I wish you and Dean a very happy anniversary! Enjoy your anniversary friend!

That looks like St. Dominic church. Not St. Ignatius….?
good catch, yes that’s st. dominic’s, not st. ignatius!
