Connect How did your love story begin?

We have been part of the same online community for years. Our mutual friends noticed how our likes and interests were so similar, and they pushed us to meet. Well, we got to talking and found we only lived about four hours apart. We set a date and time to meet, and from the first day things just clicked. Chris would drive the entire way just to see me, and soon I was doing the same for him. He helped me find my voice in places where I didn't think I had one, and he is supportive of all my goals

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

Panama City Beach is our go-to vacation place. He introduced me to it for the first time; it's been a tradition in his family to visit regularly since childhood. I fell in love immediately, both with him and with the beach. It's where he proposed to me, on the beach under the stars! It's also where we spent our honeymoon, and a top 3 destination when planning trips. What started as his tradition has become our tradition, one I am looking forward to passing down to our children.

What would you do with $20,000?

We are ready to take the next step in our life together: starting our family. We want to give them the best start possible. If we won the $20,000, we would use it towards a down payment for a house.
