How did your love story begin?

Our love story began in the summer of 2017 when my now wife found me in a fitness group I owned on Facebook. She was warned not to date me a year prior by a friend who knew me so she picked someone else. Later she found a video of me talking about relationships and said to herself this guys sounds amazing and she sent me a message and our amazing, crazy and some times unbelievable story began.

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

Having her mom see us getting baptized together at a lake and then getting married before she unfortunately was taken away due to Covid.

What would you do with $20,000?

Help our oldest daughter pay for med school. She just graduated college with honors.
