For our first date I decided to take Helen for dinner and bowling at Bayside Bowl. We both made the mistake of ordering finger foods, but despite the greasy fingers I bowled one of my best games. It was then I knew that Helen was my good luck charm and I needed to keep her around.

For our anniversary, Hilmar surprised me with a trip to Bayside Bowl; where we had our first date. After a few turns I finally got a strike. When I turned around to celebrate, Hilmar was down on one knee. I think the first words out of my mouth were "Are you serious?" before I said "YES!" I then looked up to see some of our closest friends running towards us. We all played a few games then headed out on the town for drinks and dancing. This was one of the happiest nights of our lives and we hope to share the next ones with you!
