Connect How did your love story begin?

Our story started at work. He’d been there a few months when I joined, and we only exchanged quick "good mornings." Because we’re both shy, a coworker stepped in and told us we'd be cute together. That gave us the push! He found my Instagram, the DMs became a daily thing, and lunch dates turned into a real relationship. We kept it completely hush-hush at the office, but when we moved to a far location and started carpooling daily, our secret was definitely out by the time we left!

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

Our favorite memory is our trip to Peru, which was actually his first time leaving the country! We spent every single day at the beach and had the absolute best time. The most special part was getting to spend time with my extended family; he even got to meet my grandparents before they passed away. It was such an amazing, fun experience for both of us, and sharing it together with the people we love most is something we’ll cherish forever.

What would you do with $20,000?

We would put the $20,000 straight into savings. Our ultimate, number one goal is to purchase a home of our own. We want to wait until we feel completely stable in the future before making the leap, and this money would be amazing to help us save up for this. Having the money put away is the exact head start we need to make our dream of homeownership a reality.
