How did your love story begin?

Our grandmother's were neighbors in Puerto Rico! And it wasn't until later in life that we reconnected.

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

Soooo many after 21 years! Over the last couple years though we have really become more active. We were just back home in Puerto Rico and hiked some amazing trails and caves. Beautiful views!

What would you do with $20,000?

Ruben drives an hour and a half to work back and forth each day faithfully overnight. In addition, does home Inspections part time. He often talks about getting a fuel efficient car. Maybe.. With this amount he'd actually make the jump!
