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

When we went to arizona in 2015 for vacation our car got impounded. We couldn't take a bus home with our dog so we packed what we could in a backpack and hitchhiked home to montana. It took 19 months total, we had an amazing time. Got lost in the desert, traveled the 101 in california, got growled at through the tent by cougars and snuffled by a black bear, got to know banana slugs in trinidad, star nosed moles in troutdale, harbor seals in crescent city, skunks in ft bragg, and many good people

What would you do with $20,000?

We bought a little chunk of property in holbrook arizona off ebay. Put every cent we had in it. That was 2 years ago and we still haven't seen it. We hope to get a vehicle we can pack our 3 cats and dog into to go and build a little cabin on our property to go spend the winters in and maybe retire some day. Right now its just scrub brush and dirt. But its ours. We have dreams of a greenhouse and espresso stand and travelers bnb style rest stop campground with gift shop and home made crafts.
