How did your love story begin?

Cole and I did meet on a dating site but that didn't stop our instant connection. We were drawn to each other's love of music, specifically The Beatles. Our first date included a tour of the Botanical domes in Milwaukee where we saw the most beautiful plants. From there on, we spent many trips together, mainly to Michigan as we survived our first 9 months long distance.

What is your favorite memory you've shared as a couple?

My favorite memory would be our trip to Cuyahoga National Park. Cole and I had been doing long distance between Milwaukee and Ann Arbor for the first 9 months of our relationship. We both loved to travel so on a random whim we decided to take a drive out to Ohio to see the park. It was such a wonderful experience as we both got to do what we love together.

What would you do with $20,000?

We would travel for sure. I just got my passport and have never traveled outside of the U.S. and Cole loved Europe so we could finally see our dream destination of Australia. I have always wanted to see the Irwin Zoo and Cole has supported my love for wildlife conservation. It would be an unforgettable experience for us.
