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

Literally living on first job l had4.00 dollars a hour in 90 and splurging on a dilly bar once a week looking at a future that has been a dream for me! a trip to so carolina was wonderful Niagara Falls amazing place thou the memories are great I am still waiting for the sunsets yet to come ❤️

What would you do with $20,000?

Not sure never had an opportunity like that before at one time out of the blue, always had to plan ahead in advance to take adventures? sounds like a spur of the moment Alaska trip? Not sure we're down to earth and don't want beyond the means we have but still a definite possibility of spur of the moment's memories thanks for asking the question.
