How did your love story begin?

We met on Facebook dating. For our first date he took me on a motorcycle ride up Mount Lemmon here in Tucson, Arizona. On our way down the mountain, he pulled off to the side of the road into a pull out and kissed me. He asked me to be his girlfriend 3 days later on our second date, which was supposed to be our official first date.

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

We have a lot of good memories. My favorite will probably be when we went to the lantern festival when it came down to Tucson. We got to release lanterns up into the air and see them all fly. It was one of the most amazing dates I had ever been on.

What would you do with $20,000?

Use it on a down payment on a house. Me and him have been looking into buying a house but with how the housing market has been lately, it has been difficult. Having a good down payment will definitely help us finally get our own place.
