We met in a Plattsburgh nightclub while attending SUNY Plattsburgh—he checking IDs, me walking in. Now we’re married, living here with our golden retrievers, Winnie & Sully, and both working at the same club. He’s my calm—shy, steady, a guitar-loving soul with a passion for blues, jazz, and New Orleans. I’m outgoing, a book lover 74 novels deep this year. Brooklyn meets upstate—we balance each other perfectly.
What is your favorite memory you've shared as a couple?My favorite memory shared as a couple is moving into our very first apartment. A studio. We had no furniture, no money. We slept the first couple of months on a mattress eating eggs & rice. I had never been happier.
What would you do with $20,000?I’ve been out of work since February after major knee reconstruction surgery at 27. I’m receiving only 60% of my bank income and none of my bartending pay. We’re struggling deeply. $20,000 would change our lives - helping us fix our car, catch up on bills, and finally take the honeymoon that is four years overdue.
