How did your love story begin?

We dated in 8th grade for a short while. We broke up and she moved away. I had always thought about her and one day I saw that she was finally on Facebook. I sent her a message and she instantly replied back. She had just lost her husband to Covid and I was single living in Las Vegas. I needed open heart surgery and she was a nurse in Ohio for 30 years. She flew to Vegas to be by my bedside during the surgery. After the surgery I moved back to Ohio to be with her and we are still together.

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

All the small adventures we have done together like graduations, weddings and even starting our own food truck together. We cherish everything we do together even if it’s just taking care of our four legged animals.

What would you do with $20,000?

Pay bills and maybe go on a small getaway.
