Howie and Tayla met in college--both of them were studying social work and had interests in history and music. They took many of the same classes. By the end of their sophomore year, they were dating steadily, and six weeks after the start of their senior year, they were engaged. Their wedding took place in mid-September following their graduation.
Talya is currently working full time supervising a group home and Howie has a part-time job working as a hospice social worker while he is going to graduate school to pursue a master's degree in Social Work.
Howie and Talya are renting a two bedroom apartment that they share with Howie's brother, Gordo and his wife, Rose. Gordo and Rose are a few years older than Howie and Talya, but they are both in grad school and working part-time. Between the four of them, they are able to pay the bills, put money into savings, and begin to pay off the loans they incurred during their undergraduate schooling.
