We met at Disneyland when we were 16! After 6 years we reconnected and now live together. We feel so lucky to be sharing our lives!
We would like to thank you for supporting Connor and Belinda in this year's competition. Your participation allows us to aid both the Los Angeles Regional Food Bank and Oceana in their respective missions to support hunger relief and ocean conservation.
When we first met at Disneyland when we were 16, we had huge crushes on each other, but lived 800 miles away and knew it wouldn't work. Connor reached out to me about two years ago (4 years later!). We talked for a few months before I flew from San Diego to visit him in Portland and we fell so hard we had to give long distance a shot. After 9 months, I moved up here to be with him!
What is your favorite memory you've shared as a couple?Moving me from San Diego to Portland was such a blast. We adopted our cat Mavis on one of my trips to PDX, but Bug lived with me in San Diego, so we drove him 1k miles with us. It was 3 days of talking, laughing, beautiful scenery, a curious cat, and cute road trip stops filled with the anticipation of starting our lives together.
What would you do with $20,000?Some fun and some responsibilities. We'd take a vacation around Europe and Africa to connect to our cultures, broaden our horizons, and relax. With the remainder, we'd save some for rent, do some payments on Connor's nursing school, and maybe get a new (but probably old) car.
