When I read about Carsonified’s The Golden Ticket contest, I realized I had to enter. Let me explain why.

I lived in south-western Ontario my whole life, up until 5 months ago. I started my web design career there while attending college and began immersing myself in resources such as A List Apart, Vitamin and DesignMeltDown (to name a few).

Then came late 2006 when I met Chris online. At first it was strictly business as we began swapping interesting sites, design ideas, and then eventually hugs (*swoon*). It seemed a fairy tale, really. My first two visits to Bath, England were coupled with excursions to Rome and then Paris, because Chris knew my love for art history. We fell for each other and kept it up for a year and a half before I decided to move to Bath and work for Chris’ company, blubolt.

I became familliar with Carsonified’s Ryan and Gillian Carson through Vitamin and the web dev conferences they run, and was somewhat surprised to find that they also lived / worked in Bath. Ryan and Gillian became my mini-idols because not only are they a multinational couple, they successfully work together as well.

If I won this contest, I’d learn twofold. Not only would be learning a plethora about web development from the conference speakers, I’d also learn more about working with my significant other by observation of Ryan and Gill.

In order to help me win, please leave a comment! If you cant think of what to write, write about the craziest thing you’ve done for love!
