Ashley Harmon and her boyfriend, Josh Adamson, will celebrate their first anniversary as a couple on Christmas Day in a house instead of a tent.

“I’m excited and ready to move forward,” Harmon said.

If all continues going well, Harmon and Adamson plan to marry within the next year. And Adamson wants to save $1,000 to get his driver’s license restored, get his commercial driver’s license and become a truck driver.

They have high hopes for a bright future, thanks in part to Chattanooga Times Free Press readers who contribute to the Neediest Cases fund.
