That’s us; the manicdoting couple.

See, it all started long ago, in a galaxy far, far away. Allison (Nevis) met a wonderful man, Terry (Van Redd), on a forum page and fell in love. The forum was for a really awesome podcast about the Xbox 360, called “Achievement Junkies” with Nelson & Natalie. We met there in mid-April and fell headfirst into a heady tornado of love and chainsaws.  

Allison visited him in Alabama and loved it. And Terry had visited Allison out in Los Angeles, and thought it was…‘nice’. Well, he liked some of the places they visited but on the whole he wasn’t a fan of Los Angeles.  Soon, Terry asked Alli to move to Alabama to be with him, and she said yes. Of course Alabama isn’t as “urbane” as Los Angeles, but they love the feel of the place, the genuine nature of the people and the weather. 

Terry is a 4th Grade teacher at an elementary school in Opelika, Alabama, and Allison is a sales assistant to the General Sales Manager at WRBL News 3, a CBS affiliate in Columbus, Georgia.  They live in the Auburn, Alabama area and are currently enjoying their first Christmas together. Terry’s hobbies are video games, video games and more video games. Allison’s hobbies are cooking, reading, paper crafts, painting and video games.

As of Christmas Eve 2007, Terry and Allison adopted their first pet together, a fawn pug puppy named, Napoleon. He is ridiculously adorable and the perfect little dog. He enjoys long walks by the lake, snoring, and his favorite toy is a squeaky quirrel toy.

On January 20, 2008, Terry and Allison adopted their second pet, another pug puppy named Rukia. She is all black, though, except for a cute little white spot on her chest. I wouldn’t go so far as to say she’s perfect. She’s adorable, I’ll give her that, but she can be a little hellion and tends to rile Napoleon all up. She is tiny but packed full of piss and vinegar. She enjoys biting Napoleon, chewing up pee-pee pads, nocking over food bowls, and annoying her parents. Of course, this is all in jest. She can be quite a handful, very willful, but Terry and Allison endevor to teach her manners and are ever in hope to train her.

Currently they’re thinking about buying a house and possibly getting Terry a new car. Life is pretty much as usual. They enjoy watching the TV shows, CSI, Heros, Breaking Bad, Dexter, Survivor, America’s Next Top Model, WWE, Diners Drive-Ins’ & Dives, Ace of Cakes, Attack of the Show, X-Play, Ninja Warrior, Color Splash, House Hunters, Law & Order and Iron Chef America.
