I was born in England, moved to Ethiopia when I was four, then to America when I was seven. In American, I have lived in eight states. Bob and I were married in January 2010 and we currently live in California and North Carolina.

Yesterday, after getting engaged, we did some wedding planning. We went to Wayfarer’s Chapel (see below), to a couple potential honeymoon locations, then to Trump Country Club for a food tasting. The food was five star delicious and the service matched the food.

On Sunday, I had a photoshoot with “B”. What a great baby. Last night the parents watched the slideshow with the pictures. Both were in tears…a good way!
