In the Feb. 11, 2021 Shopper News cover story, we feature seven couples who were willing to share their secret to a happy love life this pandemic Valentine's Day. We regret that we omitted Torey Smith-Pennock and her husband, Craig Pennock so we add their story, here.

 We met in 2016 and dated for only a month before getting married - When you know, you know! For many that is fast but for us it was just right. We eloped at the courthouse Dec. 16, 2016 and have been together and inseparable ever since. We have two beautiful children. He is a teacher so we have braved a lot of new things together during COVID-19. We do stay-home dates or spend time outdoors as when we can and spend time just together, appreciating our time as a couple and family. Valentine's day is every day for us, we don't do gifts or anything special - we believe you should shower the person you love in some way every day!"
