Connect How did your love story begin?

We met around 12 and became friends at 14, from there we began talking all the time and became very close. We started dating at 15 making silly promises to each other and indulging all the typical teenage fantasies. I believe at 17 was when we first said "I love you" a moment that changed everything and made our silly highschool romance a reality. Now we have gone through so much change, we had a baby, and we have never been happier.

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

It is so hard to choose just one, but probably the first time we said I love you. Oren was getting ready to spend 6 weeks out of the country and it was going to be our first of many long-distance stints. I was crying walking away, I was 17 and I didn't know if we were going to make it. As I turned, Oren said I love you. My heart stopped, I turned back to her in utter disbelief and ran to hug her. I told her I love you too repeatedly, crying tears of joy, my heart full.

What would you do with $20,000?

Likely get a new car, we currently drive a very old Honda Civic that has been falling apart for years. Honestly I'm terrified it's going to break down. Having that peace of mind, especially with a new baby would be life changing. If not that, then we would put it towards our debt. We both have student loans and a dedicated 20,000 dollars would make a very large dent in the money we owe and honestly help us breathe easier.
