from Costa Rica for two years, and we just heard that he
finally got approved for a visa,

Hi. - Hello.

How fast do you guys gotta get married?
90 days, right?
- Yeah, so we're gonna do it right when he gets here.
It sucks that you have to be on a schedule.
- Would you, though, if you-- if it wasn't 90 days,
would you get married?
- Yes, I probably still would because, like, I know how much
I love him, so it doesn't matter
if I'm marry him now or later.
We're gonna get married because I want to be
with him forever so to me, it doesn't matter.

19 the second time,

The stairs, the cold, the being alone.

I know when I was out in Ohio, we was hella unsure
about what was happening next so...

You were emotional wrecks then. - Yeah, I know.
We agreed that we was gonna get past everything
we need to do and grow to where we want to.
We decided we was gonna to take this [bleep] serious

try to bounce back to where we can so...

You've never missed a beat.
I think you don't give yourself enough credit.

when I can sit back and go,
"All right, we good now."
Things were a little rocky between me and Ashley,
but it's good to be back to a better place
because my mom's health issues
affect me in so many ways, honestly.
You know, I do believe my mom deserves
a lot better, you know, so it's bothersome to know
that somebody that did so much might have
such a [bleep] ending, you know?
I think that's what bothers me the most.

Stella is getting older, and she's starting
