KRISTEN: "My youth pastor introduced me to him and, even though he was basically broke, he was so much fun. I loved his sense of humor and how kind and generous he was. We had all sorts of silly, cheap, romantic dates: we'd go to free events, he'd come by on his motorcycle and take me to see the sunrise, we'd go get dollar chicken wings. After three weeks, we were inseparable. Then he got an out-of-state offer for a really good job, but he decided to stay in south Florida and take a lower-paying one so that we could keep seeing each other. We continued to date, got married, and May 22 is our 6th anniversary."
ERIC: "We moved to Memphis last year and have just fallen in love with it. Friends who visit say they can't believe how beautiful it is here. You have to make an effort though. If you give to the city, the city will give back to you. That's what we're doing today: we're with the Smith & Nephew Dragon Boat Team raising money for St. Jude. That's what's going on with all the orange. This isn't my real hair."

In addition to Eric's work with Smith & Nephew and Kristen's volunteer work with hospice ("She has the warmest heart," Eric declares), the couple also volunteers with Loving One by One Ministries and will participate in a medical missions trip to Uganda this summer to distribute free malaria medication to those unable to afford it. Kristen says: "We want to use our lives to help others. God has blessed us so much."
