Our story spanned years of our life without realizing it! We continue to learn and love each other everyday.
We would like to thank you for supporting The Stimpsons in this year's competition. Your participation allows us to aid both the Los Angeles Regional Food Bank and Oceana in their respective missions to support hunger relief and ocean conservation.
In high school, we knew each other, but weren't very close. After graduation, it was a bit of the same, just facebook friends. In March 2016, Ashley and two of her friends entered the same store Mel was in and something felt different in this moment, sparks. They said hello, hugged and talked before going their ways. Later, things moved a little fast, sliding into dm's, meeting for coffee, dating, and July 28th 2016, they were married. We've been growing and loving each other since.
What is your favorite memory you've shared as a couple?After we were already married, we were watching old family videos. One video we saw, Mel recognized the daycare shirt Ashley was wearing and realized we were at the same daycare during the same time. A different video showed the two of us around 2 years old up on stage during a Christmas concert, and then we found a class picture from that daycare where Mel was sitting in a chair in the front row, and Ashley was standing right behind him!
What would you do with $20,000?We would invest in us! First bringing down a little bit of debt, then putting some toward savings, and of course using a little to have some fun us time.
