How did your love story begin?

I moved to Ankeny, IA from Texas, and she moved there from Nebraska. Elise was quite smitten with me at first sight, however, her being 14 and me being 18 didn't sit right with me. So I turned my attention else where. This caused her to do the same.

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

Favorite Memory seems like an impossible question to answer. We have lived so many lifetimes all in this one life. I would definitely need a much more specific criteria in order to answer this question. Between our cruises together, our hiking trips to Colorado, our many daily adventures together, I would need much more space to tell a proper tale of our gorgeous highlight reel.

What would you do with $20,000?

Knowing her the way i do, she would say lets do something sensible with it, but it wouldn't take me long to convince her to go on her dream vacation to Greece.
