How did your love story begin?

We met at an organization that supports homeless/underserved clients. Elias was a social worker there, and I was a pastoral intern. When Elias was moving on to another job, I put a post-it note in his desk with my information, hoping he would reach out. He did :)

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

I love everyday life with Elias. We’ll go get something to eat, and then we’ll go to our favorite stores and shop. It’s the little moments together that make life so much fun!

What would you do with $20,000?

Elias and I went down to the courtroom to get married, in hopes that we would save up money in the next few years to have a real wedding at my church. Weddings are so expensive, and we dream of what our wedding could look like- this money would help make our dreams come true!
