May 20, 2019 By Tammy Leave a Comment

November 16, 2004 San Jose Forever!!! 🙂 Last night, we had a birthday party for Fr. Aba. He turned 34 yesterday – and today celebrates his 8th year as a priest. Yey for Fr. Aba. Among the guests was my cousin, Tim. He’s my age, fresh out of college. Unlike a lot of my friends […]
