Bobby Jensen married Lillia Montgomery two months ago. They met when Lilly came to Chile for a modeling gig and literally ran into Bobby at the market. Bobby is a biologist and spends most of his time in the Chilean highlands studying the wildlife there, but he had traveled into town for a restocking run when he met Lillia. In a true fairytale happening, it was love at first sight for both of them! After her modeling gig was over, Lilly continued traveling the circuit, but returned to Chile on holiday six months later. She and Bobby rekindled their relationship and got engaged after three weeks together. They were married in a small, local ceremony attended by traditional Chilean elders (whom Bobby had befriended). The two of them plan to return to the US for a wedding ceremony in the next year or so, when Bobby's contract in Chile expires and he is assigned something else to study. Both Bobby and Lilly are from the US, incidentally; however, Bobby is from the northeast and Lillia is from California.
Year 1: (+) financial event
Location: Chile
LN: Jensen
DH: Robert Jonathan Jensen "Bobby" (wavy brown hair, blue eyes)(biologist)(27)
DW: Lillia Grace (Montgomery) Jensen "Lilly" (straight light brown hair, hazel eyes)(model)(24)Bobby and Lilly have only spent a few months together over the last year--Bobby's field work and Lilly's modeling schedule have kept them apart. Bobby returns to the US in a few weeks to get his next assignment, and Lilly is planning to meet him there two weeks after that.
Despite living abroad, Bobby has kept a close eye on his investments and decided to cash them out during a recent stock market high! He made about $89,000 and, though they haven't settled on a use for it yet, both Bobby and Lilly have always wanted to try living on a houseboat. Bobby is thinking they might buy a yacht.
Year 2: Trouble in a Relationship
Location: Scotland
LN: Jensen
DH: Robert Jonathan Jensen "Bobby" (wavy brown hair, blue eyes)(biologist)(28)
DW: Lillia Grace (Montgomery) Jensen "Lilly" (straight light brown hair, hazel eyes)(model)(25)
