Connect How did your love story begin?

Our love story began in the most unexpected way,through my older brother, who happened to be my husband’s college roommate. What started as casual visits to their lacrosse games in Maryland, quickly turned into lingering conversations and shared laughs. At first, he was just my brother’s friend, but over time, we discovered a connection of our own. From stolen glances during visits to late-night chats, our bond quietly grew until it blossomed into something real!

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

One of our favorite memories was our trip to Yellowstone. On an early morning drive through Lamar Valley, the mist still hung low over the grasslands. We pulled over as a quiet hush fell across the valley, and right there was a pack of wolves trotting along the ridge. Not long after, we spotted a massive moose grazing near a stream, completely unbothered by our presence. But the most unforgettable moment came later that afternoon when a grizzly bear emerged from the trees! It was awe-inspiring!

What would you do with $20,000?

If we won the $20,000 we would use it for IVF. It would bring us closer to our dream of becoming parents after over three years of infertility. The funds would cover one full IVF cycle, medications, and necessary procedures like ICSI or PGT. It would ease the financial strain, allow us to follow the best medical plan without compromise, and offer hope where we've felt stuck. This support would mean the world, turning years of heartbreak into a real chance at new life.
