Connect How did your love story begin?

We met in a marine corp recruiting office during the pandemic. I was too nervous to ask for his number and ended up introducing myself by offering him fries. After many failed attempts to get his number a friend helped me out. The first night on the phone we talked for ours as if we already knew each other. That started many nights of long conversations about anything and everything. Leading to me asking him out on our first date on top of the Ferris wheel down by the shore.

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

There is so many but I think our favorite memory has to be our trip to Virginia. We had so much fun exploring the Shenandoah mountains and kayaking on the river. Racing each other to the highest point we could go or seeing who is the fastest paddler. We can forget how sunburned we got but it was totally worth it all. Exploring the outdoors together is apart of so many great memories we share as a couple.

What would you do with $20,000?

We would pay off our debts we've accumulated over the years so we can actually sit back and relax. What ever is left over maybe go on a well deserved vacation. We hardly get time to go out together or do much because we are always working or have opposite schedules. So a chance to go somewhere we've been wanting to for a long time would be amazing.
