How did your love story begin?

We met at a renaissance faire; I was actually sad that nobody had complimented my costume, and he was on his way out of their faire. He said he liked my hat, and I was so flustered. a few moments later, he ran up and asked for my number. We were long distance, a state away, for two long years before finally closing the gap!

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

He came to visit my small town in the middle of nowhere Wyoming. We walked through the terraces, near the hot springs. We were awkward and unsure, and at one point had to run to avoid the sprinklers in the park. He, not knowing the area as well, ran right into the hot water, soaking his jeans in the cold Wyoming fall weather. He didn’t show any embarrassment, though, and ran in for a hug to get me wet too. I still laugh about it, it broke the ice real quickly.

What would you do with $20,000?

We would save. We have a lot of dreams of travel (visit his family in Japan, see New Orleans, visit Ireland) We would also put a sizable amount of money in savings for a house. I’ve moved around a lot in my life, and having a home-base that I know I can return to is all I dream about, (despite my incessant need to travel.)
