We met at Target in October 2021 as coworkers. I told him I liked his hair he got flustered, and that small moment sparked something real. From sweet little interactions to our first date at Cheesecake Factory, we couldn’t stop choosing each other. We started dating on November 9, 2021, and have been inseparable ever since. Through love, loss, and becoming parents, we’ve grown stronger. Our story began unexpectedly, but it’s the most beautiful thing we’ve ever built.

Our favorite memory as a couple was finding out we were becoming parents in October 2022. I was 19, he was 20 young, nervous, but filled with love. Welcoming our daughter Arabella showed us a whole new kind of love. Then in April 2025, we were blessed again with our second daughter, Anastasia. Becoming parents together twice has been the most beautiful journey. Our girls made us a family and gave our love the deepest purpose.

As young parents, winning $20,000 would mean everything. We would use it to buy our first home a safe, loving space to raise our daughters and grow our family. A place to build lasting memories, celebrate milestones, and give our girls the stability and comfort they deserve. It wouldn’t just be a house it would be our forever start, something we’ve dreamed of and worked so hard for. This would bring us one step closer to giving our family the life we’ve always hoped for.
