Blindsighted isn’t just a podcast—it’s a lifeline for those walking through the darkest valleys. Hosted by Karen and Todd Hornsby, this raw and unfiltered series invites you into a story marked by unimaginable pain, loss, and suffering.
But this isn’t just about our story. It’s about YOUR story, too.
We’re not here to sugarcoat suffering or offer feel-good inspiration that fades by morning. We’re here to validate the ache, the confusion, and the questions that come when life doesn’t make sense—and when God feels far away.
The name Blindsighted is rooted in the phenomenon of “blindsight”—where people without sight are still drawn to light they cannot see. That’s what faith feels like sometimes. And in our journey, we’ve learned:
- Faith doesn’t make life easy—it makes it possible.
- Trusting God’s plan doesn’t mean understanding it.
- Victory doesn’t mean escaping suffering—it means enduring with strength, honesty, and hope.
Each episode of Blindsighted peels back the layers of our journey through our daughter’s cancer battle, a near-fatal car accident, health diagnoses, and more. We speak candidly about the moments that broke us—and the God who met us there.
If you’re walking through something that feels impossible, we want you to know: you're not alone. There’s light—even if you can’t see it yet.
Join us. Let’s find victory in the midst of suffering, together.
Welcome back to Blindsighted . We're so glad you're here with us as we kick off season two, A season that's going to look a little different.
Speaker 2:Yep. Less tears, more laughter. At least that's the goal.
Speaker 1:This season, we're rewinding the clock to the beginning. How Todd and I met, fell in love, got married, and the whirlwind that followed. From National Guard deployments to the heartache of being told we couldn't have children, we're opening the door to our early story. The highs, the lows and everything in between.
Speaker 2:And let's be honest, some of it was a little chaotic, a little awkward and a lot hilarious.
Speaker 1:Very hilarious. But through it all, we can clearly see God's fingerprint on our path. This season is about remembering the moments that shaped us before the really hard seasons came.
Speaker 2:So join us today as we share in the winding path that brought us together and the unexpected adventures that followed.
Speaker 1:You might laugh, you might cry, but most of all, we hope you feel encouraged because the bonding helps fight the battle. And that's where our story begins. Okay, babe. So I think this is probably going to be one of my favorite episodes because we are going to be talking about how we met and all the fun, lovey stuff that us girls kinda like. But as we were preparing today, I was thinking this year we're celebrating twenty six years.
Speaker 1:And I know it's a little cliche and a little deep, but you know the question people ask all the time, what would you say to that 22 year old that was about to walk down the aisle to get married? What wisdom and wonderful words would you share with that person now looking back? Is that a little deep to start off That
Speaker 2:is deep, to get us started for sure. I would not want, at the time I was 27 and you were 22, I would not want either one of us to know all the storms of life that would proceed after that. It was Yeah. It was a lot.
Speaker 1:It was a lot.
Speaker 2:Would just tell both of us, younger versions, hey, maybe, you know, keep on exercising and maybe, you know, don't don't have snacks and stay away from the Snickers bars. Beyond that, I would say you're making the right choice. No. You absolutely are. Yeah.
Speaker 2:And keep God at the center of it. Way the way you feel now, and I've heard it said before, and I wish this was an original thought, you don't date someone to marry them. You marry them to date them. And all that means is each day you're just having to purposefully rekindle that relationship because the whole thing about falling in love and we're going to get into it and it's just a fairy tale. That's great initially.
Speaker 1:Sure.
Speaker 2:But that eventually wears off. The honeymoon ends and these dishes in the sink on Monday morning need to be washed.
Speaker 1:Lots of them. Yeah. And lots of dirty laundry and stuff to take care of as well.
Speaker 2:Absolutely. And so we're going to get started with how we first met. I said, when we met, I think I was 26 and you were 21.
Speaker 1:Yeah. Around that. But I want you to kinda tell the listeners, like, where were you? What was your mindset like? What what was your season like?
Speaker 1:What was Todd Hornsby's life like during the time that we met?
Speaker 2:Yeah. So as I say, I was in my mid twenties. I was raised up in church. My mom made sure I went to church as a kid. But when I got older, I had the option to say no.
Speaker 2:I chose that option. I decided I didn't want to go to church anymore. I had other things to do. Not being in church, not having a relationship with God, Jesus not being my Savior, I used my own broken moral compass and that meant whatever the world said I should do, that's what I did. The world said, if you want to be fulfilled, there are certain things you need to do.
Speaker 2:You need to go out partying, live life to the fullest. Need to drink. You need to do this. You need to run around with this person. That's what I was doing.
Speaker 2:Was dating this girl, dating that girl, going to all the parties, alcohol. Not really so much drugs. I had a nice sports car because I'm a cool guy. You got to have a nice sports car. Really into working out.
Speaker 2:A very shallow, vain person because that's the world. You know, the world says you need to look a certain way, need to act a certain way, do certain things, you're going to be happy. And when I met you, I tried all those things and was pretty effective at them. And as I've heard our pastor say before, you know, he says some people say that sin isn't fun. And he said, well, you're not you didn't do it right.
Speaker 2:Because sin was fun. Yeah, that's very true. Yeah. But at the end of the day, all it did was make you feel more empty, more miserable, more desperate, more lonely than before. And that's kind of where I was at when when I met you.
Speaker 2:Had actually stopped doing all that because I was just burned out. I'm in my twenties, mid twenties now.
Speaker 1:Yeah. Because you had actually went through this like serious workout season of your life. And that was a little before I knew you. I mean, you were still into fitness when we first met, of course.
Speaker 2:Look at me now. Look at you now. That's fun.
Speaker 1:Too bad the people listening can't see that. You know?
Speaker 2:I know. Part of go to YouTube and follow along. We don't maybe so. Maybe the video might lie. I'm just saying.
Speaker 1:It may. And then it does add 10 pounds, they say.
Speaker 2:That's right. At least.
Speaker 1:At least.
Speaker 2:We need better cameras.
Speaker 1:Yeah, we do. Skinny cameras. But yeah. Okay. So you were really into fitness.
Speaker 1:That was I mean, really for a season there, that was your life fitness.
Speaker 2:It was. And like with most things, when you get obsessed with something in this life that doesn't have God in it, it can get dark, and it can be all consuming and something. The Bible even says that that, you know, the physical fitness is
Speaker 1:got to take care of this temple, right?
Speaker 2:It's good for some things. There's no eternal benefit. But the Bible even says that, you know, exercising and taking care of yourself is a good thing.
Speaker 1:But
Speaker 2:for me, I took it to the extreme. All the guys I was working out with, we wanted to see how strong we can get, how big we can get. So I went down this road of taking steroids. Mhmm. You know, and they worked.
Speaker 2:Yeah. I mean, there's no doubt that sin felt good. So I did all these things and it just got I got more and more depressed. And like I say, so I did all that. But it didn't bring me fulfillment.
Speaker 2:If anything, I was surrounding myself with people that were as morally bankrupt as I was. There were no good people in my life. And if there were, I pushed them away. And why would there be good people in my life with the way I was presenting myself? I was, as they say, birds of a feather flock together.
Speaker 2:I was attracting people that were exactly like me. It was a dark time. It was a depressing time in my life.
Speaker 1:It's so interesting. And when you think about that, like you're even taking supplements to try to fulfill and make you feel better, pump you up and see life differently. And it was really having the complete opposite effect of that, right? And that what they all do anyway.
Speaker 2:Absolutely. And as we know now, the world wants to provide you with counterfeit options. God made us. We were made by God for Him. And there is a place in our soul that will never be fulfilled.
Speaker 2:We will always feel empty. People in this world, they run to all these things, whether it's making more money, whether it's having all these relationships, all this stuff, whatever it is, we feel like we've got to fill that void because we know there's a void there.
Speaker 1:Right.
Speaker 2:And that's what I was trying to do. I was trying to fill the void, but it was impossible to do because I didn't have God in my life. And God is the only thing, Jesus, the Holy Spirit that could have ever filled that void. So I was just so desperate and just so wore out and just burned out on trying to fill that void and do everything the world said I should do. And it just got worse and worse.
Speaker 1:Yeah, because you really did do everything the world was telling you to do. You went straight to college, got your degree and went straight to work. Matter of fact, have been at that same employment for almost thirty years now. That's great. Good
Speaker 2:for you, baby. Blessed. You're having fun.
Speaker 1:You did. And then you're working out, you know, you're doing what you're supposed to be doing. And for some reason, still have this void. But you did have a praying mom at home.
Speaker 2:I did. I had a praying mom. My grandmother was a was a sweet lady. And you know, would even like I say, was at a desperate point. I was raised up in church, even though I was not going to church, you know, didn't have time for God.
Speaker 2:I did pray to myself, you know, I'm tired, Lord God, I'm tired of this that I'm going through. Send me a good woman. You know, that was was my goal. I prayed, Lord, send me a good woman. And I guess I prayed too much because I found the right woman and she hadn't been wrong since we got married.
Speaker 1:Easy now.
Speaker 2:So I prayed for the right woman and she's been right ever since. Got what
Speaker 1:you asked for, right?
Speaker 2:Be careful what you pray for.
Speaker 1:Be careful what you pray for. It's great. I love that. I'm glad you acknowledged that, babe.
Speaker 2:In front of the whole world.
Speaker 1:The whole world. So that is good. So mom prayed. And, so I guess now we'll we'll share how we met. So it connects to our previous season.
Speaker 1:So if you haven't listened to season one, we highly recommend you go back to that because in season one we talked about my dad's music theater. And
Speaker 2:The Oak Valley Opry.
Speaker 1:Yeah. That was its yeah. That was its first name, the Oak Valley Opry. And then we eventually changed it to Gilly's place because our maiden name is Gilly. And anyway, you all know Mickey Gilly.
Speaker 1:But anyway, so so he lays the foundation, you know, that's when I had my rec. And here we are. Now the music theater's up and going. And at this point, my entire family is on a weekly basis singing at this music theater that my dad's created. And again, he he created it because he just our whole family just loves music so much.
Speaker 1:And he wanted something for the community to have to be able to come and listen to good Christian music. So, our family was on the stage every week during this time. I think it was, what, every Friday night or Saturday night, every Friday, Saturday night, something like that, that we would be there singing my brother and his wife and all, you know, again, the entire family. We would always all be up there singing.
Speaker 2:So Yeah. And and that was like the golden age of of the Oak Valley Opry because not only would you all were you all singing, y'all kind of like the house band. Yeah. Which all were great. But you had like big name acts, a lot of Southern Gospel
Speaker 1:Southern Gospel was the thing. Yes. Especially in the late nineties for us, you know, for that, for the Oak Valley Opera it was. So Southern gospel, that's what I grew up on. My family loved them some Southern gospel music.
Speaker 1:So yeah, that's what some of these, you know, big name Southern gospel groups would come in and sing and all that fun stuff. And so I guess I'll just kind of let you take it from here how it went from from that.
Speaker 2:Sure. So as we've already said, I'm a single guy and I'm feeling real, real good about myself. Completely shallow and self absorbed, right? Sure. And so I'm working in an office.
Speaker 2:All of us. That's full of women. And, know, a lot of times the ladies in the office, if there's a single guy, and they like me and I even though I was, you know, kind of a self absorbed jerk, I was always kind to people. I was raised up, you be kind to folks. Sure.
Speaker 2:Yeah. But that was about the only good quality I had. I was kind to my coworkers. They're like, wow, you know, we want to set you up with someone. Like, okay, you know, like, because I'm thinking, yeah, I would like to find someone nice.
Speaker 2:That being said, there was a wide range of ladies that they tried to set me up with. And this wasn't a good fit for them or me. So one of my coworkers says, Hey, got this perfect girl for you. Well, you were about number five or six of the perfect girls that they said, Hey, you should meet this person. But I'm like, okay, sure I will.
Speaker 2:I had no clue what your age would be. There was about a twenty year age range that you could be. Had no idea. Wow. Yeah.
Speaker 2:I had no idea what your demographic would be, what your, race would be. I had no clue. Social status.
Speaker 1:None of this stuff. None of
Speaker 2:this stuff. I was just,
Speaker 1:Social media wasn't around during that time.
Speaker 2:Not during the late nineties.
Speaker 1:Not during the late nineties. Stalk me on social media.
Speaker 2:So they had told me, hey, this young lady, her family, as you've already said, has a music theater or something. And she's she's gonna be singing on this night. We could kind of set it up, you know, for you to go meet her. I'm like, well, okay, that sounds okay. I'm thinking, you know, and they said that you were a Christian.
Speaker 2:Your family were Christians. And I like that. But I was concerned because I'm thinking, well, I'm far from God. So I don't know. I mean, I want to meet her.
Speaker 2:You know, I want a good quote unquote Christian woman in my life. I want someone that's that's more grounded than me. That's got some things figured out. I need someone closer to God. And I don't even know if I thought that.
Speaker 2:I I I want somebody that I can maybe, you know, have a relationship with and not be worried about them wanting to go drink and party and all that foolishness.
Speaker 1:But so one of the ladies, I think we maybe should mention this, was actually one of my clients at my salon that I had.
Speaker 2:From the previous season.
Speaker 1:From the season. So we talked about the salon in the previous season. But the one of the clerical that worked at your office knew me because she was a client of mine at my salon. So it is kind of interesting. Small town.
Speaker 1:Right? Small town. Small town. So, yeah, she was super sweet. I can see her face right now as well.
Speaker 2:Yes. We won't name names, but
Speaker 1:they
Speaker 2:So I was going to meet you on a certain Friday night because you all were having a scene. And we were going to plan it. I was going to meet you there. But I was sort of thinking, you know, I don't want to waste this woman's time or my time. And based on some of the other setups that were epic failures, you know, for them and me, Maybe I should do a little bit of recon work.
Speaker 2:I found out that you all were going to be having a concert the Friday night before. So I'm thinking, well, why don't I just go this upcoming Friday night? Yeah, kind of kind of check out the place, you know, see if if she is worth me meeting the next Friday night. Because here, you know, I'm all about looks. Yeah, I want to make sure you look a certain way.
Speaker 2:Mean, I
Speaker 1:got to look at each other.
Speaker 2:We do. And there again, I did not have God in my life. So it was all outward appearance at the time. So and I came there and did a little bit of recon and I seen, you know, that that you that you were worth coming back for. I was thinking, I don't know if she'll be able to to carry a tune in a bucket.
Speaker 2:I just want to make sure she ain't going to have to have a bucket on her head.
Speaker 1:Oh, my word.
Speaker 2:And that and that is so bad to say.
Speaker 1:That's awful. I probably should have added that out.
Speaker 2:But at the time, that was my mindset. I didn't have God in my life. So everything was superficial. So like, if she doesn't look a certain way, bye. So thankfully, didn't you didn't need a bucket on your head.
Speaker 2:You were able to sing which the pressure. Yeah, the looks were much more important than the singing. But that being said, even in the state I was in, I remember I was sitting in the back of the room, because I didn't want it to be weird. I didn't want you to find out, well, he came last Friday because I don't come across like a stalker or something. So all that being said, I was sitting in the back and I seen you and she's an attractive woman.
Speaker 2:And then I began to watch the I won't call it a show, but the program, you know, with how you all were singing and ministering and just the whole environment like, wow, this is pretty cool. I haven't experienced this. Even going to church as a kid, I wasn't in a place where God could kind of start, you know, ministering to me. So I'm like, yeah, she's an attractive woman. Then I started thinking, I think she's pretty on the inside too.
Speaker 2:And that's honestly as I thought about it in the week in between when I would meet you, I thought, yeah, I don't know if I'm good enough for this girl, honestly. So yeah, I think outwardly she's going to be she's going to think I'm fine. But what about when we actually start talking And she and she kind of starts delving in to what's inside? I was very concerned that you might not be interested. So that whole week, I was actually pretty stressed out.
Speaker 1:Really? So interesting. Well, leading up to that following weekend, I got a call because apparently you go back to the office and you're like, okay, yeah, let's let's make a call and see if we can talk her into meeting me. Guess what she said. I don't know.
Speaker 1:Anyway.
Speaker 2:I think you were pretty desperate. I think they had to cry too That's the way I remember it.
Speaker 1:Okay. That's the way you remember it. Fair. So yeah, I got a call from my client. And so when my client called, I'm like, hey, how's it going?
Speaker 1:And as you all know, I still live with my parents at the time. And I remember I was getting ready for church or getting ready for something I can't remember. And she says, hey, we've got this got this young man at our office that we're really wanting to introduce you to. So apparently they were really vague to both of us because same here, had no idea how old you were. Anything.
Speaker 1:You know, I won't make the list. You know the list.
Speaker 2:Blake's slate.
Speaker 1:Yes. And I was, I was so naive and young at the time. I didn't even know really what questions to even ask them. Right. So
Speaker 2:And I would assume that your expectations were pretty low.
Speaker 1:They were. I mean, you know, if they're listening, you know what I mean? So I was I was I wasn't I really wasn't excited about it because as you've already said, you know, it's like, okay, okay. Cause usually it seems like if people have to be set up, there's a reason it felt like they'd have to be set up with people.
Speaker 2:Because the mindset is always, what's wrong with this person? Why don't they have a boyfriend or girlfriend? What? Why are they single?
Speaker 1:What's going on?
Speaker 2:And that's how it went both
Speaker 1:ways. Right? I mean, we're not saying that's how it is now or how even really truly was, but I guess it's how our perception was at the time. Anyway
Speaker 2:Dating in the late nineties.
Speaker 1:Dating in the late nineties. So I said, sure. Yeah. I'll I'll be I'll be glad to to meet him. So told the family and everybody's like, you know what, Karen?
Speaker 1:I think I remember there was this really nice looking guy sitting in the back of the auditorium last weekend. I wonder if that was him and I didn't see you. So I'm like, oh, maybe it was. Maybe so. So anyway, so we get to Friday night and and I'm like, okay, let's let's see what happens.
Speaker 1:And I did look around, try to find you. I remember you were actually pretty smart, I think, that night and brought some help.
Speaker 2:So, yes, even though I didn't have Jesus in my life, I was a very smart, a funny kind of
Speaker 1:guy. So
Speaker 2:I wanted to present myself as best as I could. And I knew you were a Christian, you know, I didn't I wouldn't go into church. But church was central to your life and your family. And I'm thinking, if I've got any chance here, got to I got to get some accompaniment. I got to get some some help here.
Speaker 2:So there was a guy that I worked with that was a pastor. I'm like, Hey, man, you know, you know, Karen and her family? Yeah, yeah, I do. He's like, I don't know how much they know me so much. But I know them.
Speaker 2:I'm like, dude, so you know how much I'm trying to find a good woman. Can you help me out? He's like, Yeah, man, what do you need? I'm like, go with me to this concert. And you can like introduce us.
Speaker 2:And the lady that you knew your client.
Speaker 1:That's right.
Speaker 2:That wanted to introduce us and meet, she came also. So I had two of them there. I'm thinking, got a pastor You know, so I was I was coming hard and heavy. So I brought him and he and the lady, they introduced us and I thought this is a great start.
Speaker 1:It was a great start. We met at the end of the concert. So, I was starting to get a little nervous too when I walked into, the entry, the entrance area of the, theater. And I saw my client and then she walks me over and I'm like, oh, this is a winner, you know, hey, he's cute. So it went from there, right?
Speaker 1:You were very, very gentleman like, and I was like, this is great. But you know, I don't know how you were, but I was still keeping my expectations a little low. Because as you said, it's great to see people that are attractive, but not always beautiful on the inside. So I was still a little hesitant Because I didn't want to waste mine or your time. You know, I was in that season.
Speaker 1:Like, I really like to find someone that I would like to settle down with and do life with.
Speaker 2:Yeah, absolutely. And back then in the late 90s, you and I weren't kids. I know things are different nowadays. People wait later in life a lot of times to get married. For us, you know, we weren't kids.
Speaker 2:I mean, you're 21, 20 two, I'm 26, 20 seven. With all this we were
Speaker 1:That sounds like kids though now, right?
Speaker 2:It does. But it didn't really feel like it's much. I didn't feel like we were jumping into things. Yeah. But you're right.
Speaker 2:You have to be guarded. I mean, you just you just met this person. So you agreed to go have dinner with me. So we went to a restaurant, not many choices where we live. Not any, actually.
Speaker 2:So we went to a restaurant and real quickly, as you've already started to share, you shared with me, hey, I'm not really I mean, I think you're a nice looking guy. But I'm not wanting to waste my time here. I'm looking for the right person that I can have a serious relationship and who knows, maybe get married to. I want someone that God has put in my life. The whole time I'm thinking, Wow, I'm digging her.
Speaker 2:I hope it's me. But she's asking questions and things that I can't say yes to. So I'm not saying you had a list, a checklist, but you kind of had a checklist. You said this, this one. Okay, I'm good now.
Speaker 2:Oh, no, I'm not good in that. Oh, no, I got to give that up. I really like that. I don't want to give that I
Speaker 1:was a drill sergeant or something. Mean, it was
Speaker 2:You conveyed real quickly. If you do this, this and this, know, you and I aren't going be a good fit. And it was it was powerful. And I just feel God really starting to work. I'm like, you know, I don't want to lose this person.
Speaker 2:And initially, my motivation was, I think you're amazing. I think you're exactly what I'm looking for. Let's see, let's see what I can do to kind of clean myself up, so to speak. So at the end of the night, I was blown away with how bold you were. I'd never met a woman that was like, Hey, I think you're, I think you're nice, but, I'm not going to lead you on.
Speaker 2:If you're not about this, this and this, bye. I mean, you were nice about it, but you were just honest. You were blunt. This is what I'm expecting. This is what I want.
Speaker 2:This is how I feel like I need to be treated. And I need, I need a partner that I can move forward with.
Speaker 1:Yeah. And I do hope that is something that, if there's any single young ladies or men that are listening to this podcast and they're in their season of life that they're looking for that special someone that they would stay strong in their convictions and, you know, where they stand and will not waver in who they are and in their walk with Christ. That it can be easily done for sure to fit in. And especially if you start getting all those butterflies right. And I really want to make this one work.
Speaker 1:I really want to make this one work. That it's real easy to let your guard down and begin to compromise and say, well, you know, maybe I don't have to have that. I mean, he seems fine with it. Do I really need to have that strong of a conviction about this? And really, as you were saying, just kind of lay down your moral compass because you want something so bad.
Speaker 2:Oh, and, and you hear this all the time. I can change them.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:You know, a lot of times it's, you know, little eighties saying I can change him. Not always. Well, guess what? If you compromise, you're not going to change the other person. You're not.
Speaker 2:And you did. And you were a great example. So then I'm like, wow, this is going good. You know, I got to I got to do some things. And then that was a Friday night.
Speaker 2:And you're like, Hey, I'd like to see you again. Or I don't know if I asked you, you asked me. I'm sure I asked you. And you're like, Yeah, you can see me at church. Oh, we already go in there.
Speaker 2:I've already got to give up drinking and dipping and cussing. So and I'm all bust up in the church on Sunday, and it had been years since I'd been in church. So wow. And that that's when God really started working on me. I mean, thank thank God for godly women.
Speaker 2:So many men have got saved, because God put a godly woman in their life. There again, you're not perfect. No, and
Speaker 1:not from it. Have plenty of flaws. Plenty of
Speaker 2:Yes, you will. We're gonna have another episode we can talk about all those. That's not a problem. I got them in alphabetical order.
Speaker 1:Yeah, we'd have a year's worth of podcasts for that.
Speaker 2:So that being said, God really started working. Because I could feel how he was operating your life. I could feel the Holy Spirit in you. I'm like, wow, so we're going to church Sunday. I remember when I got home that night, there was a little Bible that I had been given from a small little church that my mom went to.
Speaker 2:And I never went to church. But their their practice was at that little church when you turned 18 years old, and you're going to graduate high school, they gave you a Bible.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:And I know that some of the people there, because it was a small little church, they didn't have a lot of money. They're like, well, why aren't we giving him a Bible? Because he hadn't been a church in years and they were right. What was I going to do with it? So I'd had that Bible for many years for like eight, nine years, however long.
Speaker 2:And I never had dust on it when I seen it over there on, you know, on the bookshelf or something. And I won't go into all details, but God moved in a powerful way that night, that he had never done before. And the Holy Spirit started to operate in my life. So certain things I didn't want anymore of like, used to dip, didn't touch it again. You know, I used to cuss and did that a lot less after.
Speaker 2:And all these, all the mindset that I had, and the things that I in the flesh started to crave was craving. They were starting to be taken away already just by me, you know, interacting with you and realizing, hey, this is an opportunity. This is truly something God has sent you away. Even though I didn't really know what it was all about, I knew that God was leading me in a direction and I wanted to say yes to it.
Speaker 1:Well, friends, that wraps up episode one of season two. We hope you enjoyed getting a behind the scenes look at Todd's life before we met and all the laughs that came with it. From skeptical blind dates to what we now call a full blown Holy Spirit ambush, it's safe to say God was already up to something, even if Todd wasn't quite ready for it. But don't go anywhere because things are just heating up. Next episode, we'll be sharing how our relationship went from nice to meet you to will you marry me faster than most people can return a bad first date text.
Speaker 1:You'll hear about the surprise proposal that may or may not have involved Todd conquering his fear of public speaking, how we became chauffeurs for an elderly jeweler in our quest for the perfect diamond ring, and how our honeymoon could have easily been a scene from the movie, planes, trains, and automobiles.
