lost with what i wanted to do for a career, and i ran into an old friend of mine, and she said, "san diego zoo they're hiring photographers." so i interviewed at the safari park, and i was actually hired on the spot. i would say about three or four months into the job, the strangest thing happened. i was photographing at the front gate, and this young man comes up to me, and you know, he says, "hi, how are you?" and i look at him and -- you know, i knew he worked there. i'd seen him there every once in a while. so i smiled and i politely said hi back. and he got kind of shy, and his face went quickly white. and he said, "well, i'd really like to talk to you, but i got to get going, so i guess i'll see you later, bye!" so we were engaged in april of 2008, and then we were married in january of 2009. and it's been a very beautiful marriage. >> on her wedding day, my prayers had been answered and her dreams had been fulfilled. >> another miracle from god is now i'm also a mother. so not only was i given the miracle of life, but i've also been given the opportunity to give the miracle of life. >>
