How did your love story begin?

We met in 2000. First year of high school in JROTC on a weekend trip at the Aberdeen military base in Maryland. Our group took a trip to the local store on the base called the PX. He was in the isle getting a tooth brush because he had forgotten to pack one . I decided to make small talk and let him know that the tooth brush he decided to get was " my favorite color ". He smiled and then we had small talk. Lol

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

The birth of our son. I was told I couldn't have kids at the age of about 19 because of having PCOS . I got pregnant 9 yrs later and found out 3 days before Christmas. We were going shopping for outfits for his jobs christmas party , while trying on pants I noticed they we SUPER tight , which was strange(lol). So i went to my obgyn after taking the pregnacy test and found out I was 3 1/2 months pregnant via ultrasound.

What would you do with $20,000?

We have been saving for a house
