We rode the same bus and always sat in the back together, teasing each other, taking silly pictures, and laughing nonstop. He came to all my volleyball games, and we were friends for 3.5 years. After getting out of long, complicated relationships, I was hurting—and he was there, comforting me. That’s when we realized the love we were looking for had been sitting next to each other all along.
What is your favorite memory you've shared as a couple?Our favorite memory is when I was crying into his chest, worried about our future after he graduated and I still had two years of school left. He got up to take a sip from my Gatorade water bottle, missed his mouth, and completely waterboarded me by accident. We couldn’t stop laughing through the tears—it was a moment that reminded us not to take life too seriously, even in the hard times.
What would you do with $20,000?With $20,000 dollars we would save it for going towards our own home to live in.
