Me and my husband are featured on the cover of the January/February edition of the Hearing Loss Magazine which is from HLAA (Hearing Loss Association of America). We talked about our relationship, how we met and how we became friends and later became a couple and now happily married!

Here is the front cover of the magazine! This is actually our engagement photo! :)

We wanted others to hear about how we met, how we struggle with our hearing losses and how supportive we are to each other. 

Here is the story cover...

We had a wonderful photographer named Cindy Dyer and her friend Ed. They captured wonderful photos of our wedding day and couldn't be more happier with them!!!! You can check out Cindy's blog here. Cindy is also the photographer and the graphic designer for the Hearing Loss magazine as well!!

I finally tied the knot to my best friend I met 8 years ago thru an CART reporter in college.  If it weren't for Fran, my transcriber - I would have never met Tom who can understand my frustrations, challenges, and goals in my life.  Tom also has a hearing loss whom wears bilateral hearing aids.

Our wedding day couldn't be more perfect. We had the perfect weather and everything went off without a hitch.  But we were both SO sick with bronchitis the week before the wedding.  We weren't so sure if we were going to make our honeymoon or not. I got better the day before the wedding and my husband, Tom got better the morning of the wedding!

We had a fabulous wedding photographer that I found thru a really nice lady who I still haven't met to this day. Her name is Abbie. She mentored me over two years ago when I was in the process of getting an CI.  She got married last year and her photos were exactly what I wanted for my album. Cindy Dyer is a photographer and graphic artist for Hearing Loss magazine that is by HLAA.

Cindy did our engagement photos and our wedding photos and I couldn't be more pleased! Here is a few photos from my family and our photographer.

Can you believe it? Just less than a month away til I say I do!

I had a huge bridal shower that was given by my family - Katie and Debbie. It was supposed to be Matt's graduation party. Me and my fiancée dressed up in the Raven's gear since they were playing that day! They sure surprised me! My entire family was there including my fiancée's. My grandfather's sisters were there as well his sister-inlaws. It was so good to see everyone!!

Then there was another one given by my best friend BrookeAnn and Jen. It was small but it sure was so much fun!!! There are a few photos of it below.

And finally, my work gave me one. The best part, they surprised me with my mom. I was in shock on how she got to Washington DC!!!! There are also photos below for that one too!!!

Brookeann, Me, Kim, Jen and Faith
