Transcript
Can't afford to propose to my girlfriend, so today is day 26 of good dashing for a $6,500 diamond ring. Better what's the biggest tip I've gotten so far? Best night, I picked up an order from KFC and had to hand the order directly to the customer. After ten minutes of driving, I parked directly across the street from a humble looking house. As I walked up the driveway, an elderly gentleman opened the door. I held the door open for him as I handed him his food and saw his wife behind him in a matching shirt. Looking at them really reminded me of the movie Up. I asked, date night tonight? He smiled and said, yes. Best part of my week. I chuckled and wished him good evening. I've seen a handful of couples, but while driving to my next delivery, I couldn't stop thinking about them. I want what they have. After all those years, still choosing each other. They left me a $7 tier, which is the biggest one I've gotten so far, but the reminder I got from them means far more. I want the ordinary moments, a lifetime of them, with her. Tier six days in. Dollars 1,089.07 best of 6,500. It is definitely winter in January. Follow to see how long it takes.
