How did your love story begin?

I met Beth on and online dating app and after a few weeks of texting and calls we decided to meet at the Food Court at Oak park Mall. When I got to the food court , Beth said come find me in Macys as the food court was too noisy. We walked around the mall awhile before heading to Hulahans across the parking lot for dinner. I remember thinking wow she’s incredibly beautiful so smart and those sexy lips. Our First date was a hit at least for me I remember being so focused on her every word.

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

Beth’s son David who now is a US Marine, his senior year went out for wrestling. Beth signed us up to work the food counter at a wrestling event. We worked side by side making popcorn getting drinks and other snacks. We often work together on projects and events , although sometimes I think I have a good idea Beth often makes things flow better as she is more logical when challenges arise. All in all I love spending time with my Best Friend Beth.

What would you do with $20,000?

We both plan to retire between the ages of 67-70 and have dreams of buying land and later building our final retirement home in or around New Bern NC or maybe a lake lot somewhere in the Kansas City rural areas. We would use the money as a down payment on the property. Or possibly do some needed upgrades to our current home we will be living in for at least the next several years. Either way will use it for something good we both will benifit from in the future.
