Love, Live and Laugh...

Brief intro: We met for the 1st time at the Transitions young adult retreat in September 2007. Later that year, I got involved in BT kids and Todd happened to work for BT kids at the time. We got to know each other through ministry and became good friends. In January 2008, Todd launched Project compassion, which was the outreach component of Transitions. I was chosen to be part of the leadership team and we worked closer together. End of March my lease was up, and Todd helped me move in with a friend that lived 2 blocks from him. We then had a great excuse to go and leave the church together, and the rest became history. We officially started courting in July 2008, we got engaged July 2009 and we got married December 2009. And here we are today married for 1 yr 2 months. I have to tell you when we reached our 1 yr anniversary, we rejoiced and said we maid it ;-) The first 6 months you will say “Wow we are married” or you will ask: “What is wrong with you?” Bullet points:
