Who would have thought that a minnesotan gal would meet a Virginian man and fall in love. Some may call it fate. When all hope was lost, the magic of the internet called them to meet. In true Derek fashion he was late to their first date, but Bridget patiently waited, when she looked up and saw Derek (and his height) she was pleasantly surprised. They hit it off straight away connecting all things arts, food and family values. She then learned Derek has a daughter Raylin. Bridget absolutely adores Raylin. Four years later by the grace of God they found out they were pregnant with their son Gavin. Bridget and Derek love being parents and have hopes to grow their family in the near future.
