We met at Nate's 20th birthday party August 24th, 1995. I talked with him for a long time and remembered he said he wanted to be an artist, that was intriguing. The next day I called my friend who invited me to his party to get his number. After getting the courage to call I asked him out on a date. When he arrived at my parents house he was running late. My sister and mom passed him on the way in and said he has a beautiful car. His blue mustang. We drove into Seattle, our first date.

The most fantastic date so far was a trip to Napa Valley. We try to go once a year. We attended a Valentine Ball at Castillo Di Amorosa. The castle is a dream come true. We arrived in style, a convertible of course. Enjoyed a tour of the castle and entertainment, wine and food Parisian style in the wine cavern. We were dressed to the nines and had a glorious time!

We both have worked very hard throughout our marriage to stay financially afloat. To reward us for our hard work we love to plan fun trips. I would use half the money to pay off bills and the other half for a European cruise for our 30th wedding anniversary, which is 8/31/2027. Nate is half Italian and I spent my first three years in Italy so I think it would be amazing for us to go there, the ultimate date! Thank you for asking, dreams can come true.
