Hi family and friends. We hope you are all well and we are looking forward to celebrating with you in September! Having you with us will be the greatest gift we could ask for.

Throughout our lives and most recently outfitting the new house, we have accumulated almost all of the housewares that we need to make our home together, which brings us to Traveler's Joy. This registry offers guests the option of helping us have a fabulous honeymoon. Should you prefer a traditional registry, we are also registered at Bed Bath and Beyond.

We are planning a honeymoon to the Southeast quadrant of New Mexico. Even though Charles is a New Mexico native, he has never had the opportunity to visit the wonders located in that area. Besides the natural wonders of Carlsbad Caverns and White Sands, we plan to visit historical sites and stay in local hotels with historic architecture and significance including the Lodge in Cloudcroft, Trinity Hotel in Carlsbad (former bank building) and the Ellis Store in Lincoln (actual site where Billy the Kid was held for a few days). Of course there will be time for relaxation, wine sipping and soaking up the breathtaking scenery of the area.

Thank you all for your love, support, and generosity. We can't wait to see you on our wedding day!

Lots of love,

Cindy and Charles
