Our love story began when his grandmother was admitted into a skilled nursing facility where I was working. 3 months after her being there he asked me out for coffee. I told him no. Over the next year we just talked about everything when he would come to visit his grandma. Then he asked me for dinner and I said yes! We had our first date on New Years eve 2013. Engaged 6 weeks later, Married 1 year after engagement on February 14th, 2015.
What is your favorite memory you've shared as a couple?On our second date, after dinner we walked into a twinkle lit courtyard. It was beautiful. I love twinkle lights. We were hugging and He leaned in for a kiss. But, his version, I jumped back 7 feet. My version, I placed my hand on his chest and told him I wasn't ready. Our first kiss was a few weeks later as he was headed into surgery.
What would you do with $20,000?The practical thing would be to pay off some debt. The non practical thing would be to go to Hawaii!
