Anthony and VALERIE

We met at 18, got married at 21, and are still happily married 22 years later! And we’re only 43. I think that’s pretty amazing!

How did your love story begin?

We met right after we graduated high school. For Anthony it was love at first sight and he knew right away that I would be his wife one day. After a few years of getting to know each other, I fell in love. 🥰 He pursued me almost the entire time. And we wrote old fashioned letters to each other during his time in the Army. He was discharged and drove from SC to OK without stopping so he could propose immediately. What a dream!

What is your favorite memory you've shared as a couple?

I absolutely loved going to Israel together. We were part of a group, but still had our time together. I’m so thankful we were able to experience our first international trip together. And we came home on our 15th wedding anniversary.

What would you do with $20,000?

Pay off some debt for sure!!! With a mortgage, 2 car payments, hospital bills, and a child going to college we can definitely put the money to good use.
