Amanda Diesen and Todd Krieg are one of the most well known couples in this year 2017. On a day in February 2017, the couple decided to announce their pregnancy. But with a picture of the two of them and words written behind them, “It Still Works.”
A professional motorcyclist Todd Krieg was. Krieg had an accident that left him paraplegic. Therefore, the couple were told by doctors that it would be hard for them to conceive. Due to Todd’s paralysis.
Diesen explains how she met her fiance. “Todd and I met in July 2015 when I was working as a recovery specialist at a Paralysis Recovery Center called Project Walk. Located in Carlsbad, California. Todd was a professional Supercross/Motocross rider. He had a bad crash in October 2014, which left him paralyzed from the chest down.
“He flew from his hometown in Ohio out to California to attend Project Walk in hopes of getting better. We were both secretly attracted to each other without knowing it for a while. I only worked with him a total of 2 times during his 8 month stay.”
She continued on to say, “We didn’t start dating officially until January 2016. Todd confessed his feelings for me on Halloween of 2015 when he drank a little bit too much. He let me know he thought I was the most beautiful trainer. That’s when I knew he had a crush on me and we started talking shortly after that.”
When asked about how her relationship has been with Todd, she briefly stated it has been amazing. She never thought possibly be very much in love with someone. “I feel like Todd and I are a perfect match for each other. We get along well, we think one another is the funniest person we know, we are extremely comfortable and honest with each other. We are best friends. We don’t really argue about much, and I find that comforting.”
As motherhood is approaching, Amanda is a little nervous, “………it’s scary to think of all the responsibility that comes along with keeping a tiny human alive; I feel unprepared! I’m really looking forward to raising a sweet little boy who is half me, half Todd. And I am excited to parent alongside my best friend (Todd).”
There are several key components that Amanda believes makes a successful relationship. Not just one key component. ”I believe communication is very important; communicating your wants/needs to your significant other and also having them heard. No two people are exactly the same, and no one can read minds. So it’s important to be able to express yourself and talk through things together without jumping to conclusions. Love is also selfless and sacrificial. You have someone else’s happiness and well being to think about. Other than just yourself. With sacrifice, I mean that in a relationship, you sometimes do things you don’t want to do. In order to show your significant other love. For example, Todd hates running errands/shopping with me and I know that, but he also knows that it makes me happy when he does go with me. So that means a lot to me,” stated Amanda.
Both Amanda Diesen and Todd Krieg are engaged. They will be soon parents to a baby boy this year. Amanda captioned on her latest Instagram @amandadiesen post, “Todd made me laugh so hard the other night I completely peed my pants/the floor” #pregnancy #38weeks.
