We met on a dating site in January of 2020, right before the COVID-19 pandemic closed the world. Our dating experience was like none other we had experienced because our jobs required us to think carefully about our viral exposures and work rules. Perhaps that made us work harder to connect and engage in honest relations.
By 2024, we wanted to move in together, but our jobs were almost 60 miles away from each other. Should Greg quit and move into Shannon's house? Should Shannon quit and move into Greg's house? After consulting with multiple financial specialists, we BOTH decided to retire early. Greg was 61 and Shannon was 52. Our longstanding hard work in the education and medical fields had paid off.
