Connect How did your love story begin?

During high school math tutoring we both found ourselves doing little to no math and instead we spent our time building an amazing friendship. Eventually, the friendship turned into…more than a friendship. One late night, despite strict curfews, we snuck out to meet at a local pond. After laughing together for hours, we shared our first much anticipated kiss. Shortly after that, our lifelong relationship began.

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

For Valentine’s Day, we decided to go camping high up in the mountains. We loaded the Jeep up with supplies and drove hours to our campsite. We set up camp at a picturesque location with the sprawling mountainside in front of us and a lush forest behind. The day was spent laughing, exploring, and enjoying each other’s company in the beautiful landscape. The next day, we decided to explore the top ridge of the mountain. We concluded by reminiscing our perfect trip over a perfect diner breakfast.

What would you do with $20,000?

The entirety of our relationship has been spent in apartments with our 9 year old dog. We would love to be able to give her a backyard to run, sunbathe, and enjoy her senior years in. Our current goal is to get into a larger space with a backyard and with $20,000 we would be able to reach that goal.
