Our first date was miniature golfing, dinner at a Japanese restaurant, and then down for a walk along the beach. We were married 5 months later in a "surprise" wedding ceremony. Brian invited 30 of our closest family and friends to dinner under the pretense that he wanted them all to be there when he proposed to me... which he did.

Workplace
I have recently started my own business.... a scrapbooking store. It's called The Scrapbook Garden and it's located on the corner of Beach Blvd. and Talbert Avenue in Huntington Beach. This is a dream of mine that I've had for a while and after a lot of hard work, it's finally a reality! Stop on by and have a look. There will be lots of fun classes, crop nights, and great shopping! You can visit my website at the scrapbook garden dot com. Hope to see you soon!
