Our love story began in flight school. I sat next to him because I thought he was cute, and he became friends with me after making a joke that I was the only one who laughed at. We spent months building a friendship while pursuing our dreams of becoming pilots. Although my path changed, I still support his aviation journey. By the end of the year, our friendship had grown into something much more, and we started dating.

Our favorite memory is a week-long adventure across Northern Michigan. We drove 36 hours, hiked 12 miles through Pictured Rocks, camped, kayaked, chased waterfalls, and cooked meals together. What made it special wasn't just the scenery, it was unplugging from our phones and focusing on each other. Surrounded by nature, we shared simple moments, meaningful conversations, and unforgettable adventures that brought us even closer together.

We would use the $20,000 to help fund our dream of buying an RV and traveling across the United States for a year. We want to visit national parks, reconnect with friends across the country, and spend more time exploring nature together. Living in a small space would challenge us to grow as a couple while experiencing the beauty, simplicity, and adventure that can only be found on the open road.
