Yes- That is the Taj Mahal in Agra, India and
Yes- That is my husband and I wearing our "Witness" shirts and holding a Cavaliers flag.

Our love for the Cavaliers travels with us always, even to the heart of India.

It's kind of funny- neither my husband, Carl, nor myself grew up playing basketball. I grew up in Willowick, OH and was a gymnast for most of my young life. In high school I also ran track and played tennis. In college, I cheered for Cleveland State. I was a casual Cavs fan during those years but I can't say I really followed the team closely (I was more into college basketball and the Browns).

Everything changed during the 2002-2003 season. The Cavaliers started a group called the Cavalry, which was the featured cheerleading performance group (the pre-cursor to the Cavalier Girls). I made the squad and have been on the court and a die-hard fan ever since. After my season on the Cavalry, I spent 2 seasons as a member of the Scream Team and the current 08-09 season is my 3rd as a member of the Cavs Crew (you can see me on the court during the Taco Bell ball toss and during the other fun in-game promotions).

I've grown to love the Cavs not just for the in-game experience (which is the best in the NBA), but also because of the friends I've gained and all of the amazing people I've met. Most notably, it was through the Cavs that I met the man that became my husband. He works in the Group Sales department for the team and we began dating after the 02-03 season.

On April 13, 2006, during the Cavs v. Knicks game, Carl proposed to me while I was wearing my Cavs Crew uniform and it was broadcast on the Q-tube for all 20,000+ fans to see. This Cavs theme carried straight into our wedding:

• Our wedding programs were designed to look like the Cavs "Tip Off Tonight" programs
• Ahmaad, the Cavs in-game host and the one that introduces the players at every Cavs game, introduced our wedding party
• Everyone at the wedding received a rally towel
• The table numbers and name cards looked like Cavs jerseys
• We took our wedding photos at the Q!
• The Cavs video guys (QTV) helped make our slide show
• The Cavs graphics guys designed our wedding logo (which was inspired by the Cavs playoff logo)
• All of the guests received a game ticket

I've seen a lot in my years at the Q- I was there for the down times when we only won 17 games. Conversely, I was on the court when we beat the Pistons and were crowned Eastern Conference Champions!- All of the experiences have been truly special and the Cavs will always be dear to my heart. I know that I will not be able to be on the court forever but I do know that no matter where life takes me, I will always be a Cavs fan...and a Cavs Fanatic!
