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!!

If you are itching to read our story... the cover story is in PDF format here!

If you are a current member of the HLAA, you should be getting the Hearing Loss Magazine every two months.

The HLAA conference in Crystal City was a BLAST!!!!  This was my first time attending the event but I wasn't going there as a attendee.. I volunteered my time with Advanced Bionics booth to show the consumers how great AB's implant is!  Even though we are not 'back' on the market. We were able to show off our SKIN-ITs which are like really durable and thick stickers for our CI.  Mine lasted for almost a year!

I got to see my AB gang such as Sam, Evelyn, Jen, Dot, Becky and the list goes on and on and on!!!!

If you have never gone, promise yourself to save up the money and go one year!  You will have the best time of your life!  And the highlight is seeing WICKED in captioned!! My first play ever in caption.... I even sat in the very front row with my best friend Meredith who is a dwarf and needed to be seated closer to the stage so she can see the captions and the performance as well!

Enjoy the photos!! (They are compiled by all of my friends and me!) (and in no particular order!)

Sam pointing at Evelyn on the screen!  Here she is in person!!!!

My fiancee Tom doing a side handstand on the light pole!  Perfect timing with taking the photo!
