I was born in the Bronx but my parents hated living in the Bronx so they moved to Oregon when I was 6 months old. I first lived in Beaverton -- I went to West Hills Daycare and then I went to Montclair Elementary School and then Whitford. After my parents split up my mother moved to Lake Oswego and I went to Lake Oswego High School.

At which point I notice, for the first time, the huge diamond on her left ring finger. 'Oh yeah, I'm engaged,' she says, so casually I assume she's joking. 'No, I'm engaged!' she repeats.
