As cliche as it sounds we are truly best friends above all else. We love spending time together and are always down for silly adventures.
We would like to thank you for supporting The Starneses in this year's competition. Your participation allows us to aid both the Los Angeles Regional Food Bank and Oceana in their respective missions to support hunger relief and ocean conservation.
We met in college when a mutual acquaintance invited me over to do laundry at what I thought was her apartment (anything is better than the laundry mat) She said she’d run to the store and left me in what turned out to be CLAYTON’S apartment. When he came home and found a stranger sitting on his couch, he was oddly calm about it. We spent the next few hours talking and even went out for ice cream before he took me home (she never came back!) We had our first official date later that week.
What is your favorite memory you've shared as a couple?Our favorite pastime is traveling to new places, but nothing tops our very first road trip. We had only been dating a couple of months and Clayton took Raya to his hometown to meet his family. At a gas station stop, Clayton asked for a cinnamon roll; Raya brought him a bear claw instead. That innocent mix up sparked our first argument, now famously know as The Bear Claw Incident. It became such a defining moment that we both mentioned it in our wedding vows.
What would you do with $20,000?Starting a gourmet hotdog stand has been is a secret dream of ours. We spend our weekends trying out new creative flavor combinations and serving them to our family and friends. We would use the $20,000 to kick start our passion project.
