We never stop exploring, laughing, and being amazed by the world and by each other.
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!
Our paths didn't cross early in life. We found each other after marriages that hadn't worked out, these experiences taught us what we truly deserved in a partner and in a relationship. In the summer of 2015, we were both new-ish to online dating. This time, we approached love with intention, and we chose each other. Everything just felt right. Within six months, we were house hunting, and soon after, we closed on our own cozy little home together.
What is your favorite memory you've shared as a couple?In 2024, we rode the Five Boroughs Bike Tour together. Willard had already been biking regularly, and this was the year we finally got to share the experience on two wheels. That ride sparked something special. Since then, one of our favorite things to do has been scouting new routes, planning adventures, and riding our bikes together, throughout our home state and wherever our travels take us. Every ride has become another chance to explore, laugh, and make memories side by side.
What would you do with $20,000?First we'd get tickets to see The Mildred Snitzer Orchestra and have a little adventure, then with the rest we'd either do some home improvements to make our peaceful love nest more cozy or go on a bike and barge trip. :)
