How did your love story begin?

We were friends. Well, Melissa was my friend's girlfriend when we were teenagers. No malice on my part. We all hung out together all the time. Our friend took a turn down a dark path and somewhere along the way she and I reconnected. I was hesitant to be involved because of the past but I got over that. She was a passionate vixen with love to give and I was looking.

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

After our friend turned down that dark road Melissa and I drifted apart. He was the reason we were friends so we were on to what was next...which for me was Dead tour. Summer 1995 took me all over but it was a chance meeting at Three Rivers Stadium on 6/30 that sparked our forever. Melissa found me floating in a sea of tie dye. Had no idea she'd be there. No cell phones or socials. Just destiny. We spent the night at a friends in Pitt. That was when we knew there would be another chapter.

What would you do with $20,000?

We are ready to downsize. Still have 2 in the nest but ready for a simpler way of life. Less...stuff. More sanity please. Less waste. More conscientious about the world we will leave our babies babies. It's time for us to build our tiny home.
