How Jeff and Erin met, their awkward first date, and how they fell in love.
After 11 years of marriage, and 5 years of trying to start a family, Jeff and I are so excited to announce that we're expecting a little miracle baby in April of 2018. The journey hasn't been easy. In fact, it's been downright hard. But in the difficulties, we have...
It just couldn't have been more perfect. Jeff and I gathered with our friends and family at the place we met nearly thirteen years ago, Point Loma Nazarene University, and we re-said 'I do' after ten years of marriage under a breathtaking oak tree. Looking Jeff in...
A year ago, we had a decision to make. We could take a big vacation - just the two of us, a beach, and a week of relaxing. OR We could stay at home - celebrate with our friends over tacos and margaritas. Margaritas totally won out. So we invited our friends and...
I woke up one morning a few years ago feeling really guilty. I groggily moved through my morning routine feeling awful about throwing a childish tantrum the night before about how I couldn’t keep the house clean. It had been a LONG couple of months - Jeff had been...
...when you’re doing laundry and you find a bouncy ball in the pocket of your husband’s shorts. When I asked Jeff about the bouncy ball, he said that the other day he saw it flying across the store at Target, so he ran after it. BUT another boy ran after it, too,...
Hi. Our names are Jeff and Erin Youngren, and we're certified podcast-junkies. Our love affair with audio storytelling began when a little purple podcast app showed up on my iPhone, and I downloaded my first episode of This American Life in 2008. Then came...
It’s been a long time since I’ve posted an installment of the love story between Jeff and me - the story of how we met, our first date, and the series of events that led up to the day we said, ‘I do.’ To catch up on our love story up until this point, read all of...
This next part of our love story has only come up in conversation one time. Not because it’s embarrassing or private, but because I’m at the point in our story where the saga of how we met ends and the tale of how we fell in love begins. The version of how we met...
So I realize that our love story up until this point has been one constant stream of awkward-sauce, but it’s about to become one constant stream of eye rolling, gushy romantic-sauce. So if you’re not the type that loves gushy romance, well then you may as well stop...
If you’ve been keeping up with our love story here on the bloggy-blog, this is the point where you would think that our budding relationship would come to a screeching halt – with a flag football spin of relationship death. But it didn’t, and this is the part where...
I know I left everyone on a cliffhanger in my last installment of Our Love Story, but this part of my first date with Jeff is just too deliciously awkward not to write it’s own post. After our romantic ferry ride across the San Diego harbor, Jeff took my...
Whenever we get to the part of our love story when Jeff and I went on our first date, people always ask the question, if everything was so awkward up to this point, how on earth did you end up together? Great question. There's two things you need to know in order...
