We both came out late in life after having kids. We have never felt love like this. Our family is blended and beautiful. Happy is possible!
Help us share our love story in Variety, take home $20,000, and go on a triple date with Jeff & Emilie Goldblum and Charlie Day & Mary Elizabeth Ellis!
We found each other in an online forum. Tanna slipped in my DMs and we started talking. I was bonded over teaching, parenting, and coming to terms with our sexuality late in life. We met 6 weeks later and have been inseparable since.
What is your favorite memory you've shared as a couple?Our first date was epic. Tanna flew to Atlanta after Christmas. We spent the first night getting to know each other in person. The next day, we went to breweries, had lunch at Velvet Taco, visited Skyline Park, and rode a scooter to get sushi and take Sake bombs. The scooter struggled to haul us both up the hill. So, I had to bail to keep us from hitting a tree. We laughed so hard after the near accident.
What would you do with $20,000?We would love to do one of two things. Either put it as a down payment on a bigger family car for our family (5 kids from 11-26). Or we have always wanted to take a family vacation with all the kids. We haven’t been able to yet as our adult kids have just started new careers and we can’t afford to pay the bill for all seven of us. It would be a dream to vacation with all of us together.
