How did your love story begin?

Rich & I worked together a while back, then lost touch w/ each other. Years later, a mutual friend of ours passed away, and we met up again at the funeral. We struck up a new friendship, spending more & more time together. I fell for him before he did with me. I brought him to a Yankees game for his birthday last August, where he has proclaimed, that he fell in love with me. He asked me to be his partner that October. This August, we are returning to Yankee Stadium again, to celebrate both!

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

My favorite memory is when we first appeared in public, as a couple. We went to the wedding of a couple that we know, and we had the time of our lives, as boyfriend and girlfriend. We showed everybody there that we are just as madly in love with each as the newlyweds are.

What would you do with $20,000?

Rich’s family grew up along the shore during the summer months. First, owning the cottage, having to sell it, then becoming the renters of it. This year, it has been sold again, forcing the rent to be too expensive to even visit. This will be their first year without their shore vacations. I would put a substantial down payment on a cottage, so they can return to their summer home area, and enjoy their hot summer months again.
