We were friends before we loved. At the foundation of our relationship is a need to just be with each other.
We would like to thank you for supporting Heidi and Tim Hella in this year's competition. Your participation allows us to aid both the Los Angeles Regional Food Bank and Oceana in their respective missions to support hunger relief and ocean conservation.
I don’t think either of us know when our love story started but both of can recall times in which we noticed each other. We live in a small town. I noticed him when we were at our kids school open house; he noticed me when I was at the local grocery store. Our official friendship started in a laundry room of all places drying our kids soccer uniforms for a tournament. It was like the Ross/Rachel Uberwiess episode from friends…and to this day he calls me Uber. We fell in friendship before love.
What is your favorite memory you've shared as a couple?He is a rough tough dude; I’m fancy. He asked me to go on a trip to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. To this day he is pretty dramatic about the fact that he was wearing sports clothes and I was in a lace white bohemian styled dress. Let’s just say, we were not the best styled couple…and now, he’s upgraded his style, he loves his jewelry…and I’m now a little bit more cozy these days. We definitely helped each other evolve!
What would you do with $20,000?We are getting married in Sept after 6 years! We have both maintained our own houses to grow our kids and not make them merge households. They graduated in May so we are planning a fun party. I’d use the money to make it the best wedding we could ever have celebrating with our families!
