Shannon and Bill

We really communicate well with each other. Some of it came naturally, some had to be learned. We have a strong desire to share together.

How did your love story begin?

We met through mutual friends in the restaurant business a few times before we started working together. Our first kiss was at a friend's Christmas party. I built her a wooden clock for a present. It featured whales which I knew she loved. She searched every Blockbuster video in Atlanta to find me a VHS tape of Drop Dead Fred (one of my favorite movies). The only one that carried a copy of it was ironically right across the street from where I lived.

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

Travelling in general creates great memories. It was only recently that we got to experience a bucket list trip together to Australia. We love nature and great food. Tasmania provided the best of both. We did a private tour at a wildlife sanctuary where we got to feed all of the adorable animals by hand. The little spiky echidnae with his long tongue was a highlight. We also did a boat tour where they took us to a secluded cove. They went diving for lobster, urchins and abalone. It was a feast!

What would you do with $20,000?

The reasonable way to look at it would be dividing it into three categories. The largest majority would be placed into our retirement savings. The remaining amount would cover a small vacation for us and our parents, and a donation to our local Humane Society.
