We were normal once too!

Rob & Millie 2006

      Okay...maybe not completely normal. ;) Rob and I met in the beautiful mountainous state of Pennsylvania! I was spending my days waitressing and finishing up a Partial Hospitalization program that I had been apart of for the last year. Rob came fresh off the mission field into our cold cultured society which proved to him to be clueless and insensitive to re-entry culture shock. We met at a coffee house held in a church we were attending. Life was vast for us as we were young and open minded. Life would never be the same.

Rob & Millie's Wedding 2007

Just a few months later, on New Years Eve 2006 Rob proposed to me on a mountaintop in Pennsylvania. With a candle lit he bent down on one knee and revealed a beautiful princess cut diamond engagement band that glittered to the glow of the candle. The man of my dreams was asking me to marry him. Was I dreaming? Of course, I said "Yes!"

Rob & Millie, Ottawa Parliament 2007

We had our wedding just 3 months later on March 3rd, 2007. It was a beautiful day and the ground was snow covered as we marched together into the park surrounded by a beautiful frozen lake. There we got dubbed husband and wife with a sword by the pastor dressed in a kings outfit. It was like a fairytale and it was all we could have dreamed of and more!

That's when we seemed to have caught travel bug. We geared up for our honeymoon in blizzarding Ottawa, Ontario, Canada the next day! After some time there, we hopped in our car and headed for Florida where we had decided that we would start our life together since it was were Rob spent his childhood. 

Leaving Everything 2007

      After sometime of working 2 - 3 jobs to survive we felt a calling into full time ministry. So many questions flooded our mind. How would we do it? How would we survive? How do you go from working so much just to survive to living solely on faith? We had no answers but we knew what we had to do. We quickly gave notice to our jobs and by the direction of the Holy Spirit we were packing up our things and heading back North to Pennsylvania!

We were off...by faith we stepped into the unknown, and we never did look back!
