Our love story was a complicated one! Michael was in Philadelphia pursuing his PharmD and I was in Long Island finishing my bachelors degree. We started long distance and FaceTiming all day every day. However, Michael then took the three hour drive to see me and actually have a first date. He was so committed and that attracted me to him.
What is your favorite memory you've shared as a couple?Our favorite memory is a small vacation we took to Wildwood NJ. That was the first time Michael and I really experienced being together for days and also him assisting me with some of my personal care. That vacation was such a learning experience and an outlook at what our life can be like together. We laughed so much on the trip and spent nights looking at the stars.
What would you do with $20,000?We would use the money to help with our student loans! We are both in graduate school now and loans are piling up. I know both of our goals is to graduate and pay off our debt.
