We were strangers living minutes apart. One cross-country drive changed everything. Three months later, we said forever.
We would like to thank you for supporting The Robinsons in this year's competition. Your participation allows us to aid both the Los Angeles Regional Food Bank and Oceana in their respective missions to support hunger relief and ocean conservation.
Our story began online while I was driving cross-country from California to Virginia after receiving new orders. We instantly connected, and just 3 months later, we were married. The craziest part? We had lived minutes apart for six years without ever meeting until I was stationed back in Virginia. Since then, we’ve faced epilepsy, seizures, and surgery together, proving that love isn’t about perfect timing. It’s about finding the person who makes every moment worth it.
What is your favorite memory you've shared as a couple?One of our favorite memories is my birthday, when Eric planned a surprise scavenger hunt through the places that tell our story. Each stop reminded us of a special moment we’d shared, and the final clue led to a picnic waiting just for us. It wasn’t about the destination—it was about reliving the journey that brought us together. That day perfectly captured who we are: thoughtful, adventurous, and always finding new ways to make each other feel loved.
What would you do with $20,000?Winning $20,000 would help us build the future we’ve been dreaming of. We’d pay down debt, grow our savings, put money toward our first home, and start preparing for our first child. It would give us a stronger financial foundation, more peace of mind, and the freedom to focus on building a happy, secure future together instead of worrying about finances.
