Our system wasn’t working that we previously had and I think covid allowed us to slow down even more so one of the things we adopted is sitting down on Sundays and kind of instructing our week ahead from schedules to finances. Reporter: Tina and Josue began dating and the uncertainty of the pandemic accelerating their connection. It is. Shutdown caused us to rethink how do we spend time together and connect.
