Clay and I met at Novato's local bowling alley, Nave Lanes, about 10 years ago. It was WOW! at first sight. It is amazing when you find someone who can make you laugh so hard you can't breathe. The feeling you get when you realize that the one you met gives you unconditional love is undescribable.

Clay arranged to have a dinner for my mom at the Hilltop Cafe` for her birthday that was actually for me, where he surprised me by having my family and friends there, so they could bear witness to our engagement. It was incredible and I was in complete awe the whole night. We have been engaged for 5 years and let me tell you, we are ready to celebrate our upcoming wedding.

We hope to see you all there, but understand for those who can't make it. I decided to go to Hawaii for our honeymoon because it is beautiful and Clay would love to see a bit of history of WWII.

We chose to do a honeymoon registery because after living with each other for 6 years, we really didn't need anything else for the house. We also thought this would be a nice way for the family to give into one big gift that we will always remember and treasury through our lifetime.

Thank you!
