We met in college theater class—me from the West Coast, him from the East. Two dreamers from different worlds, brought together by a shared love for performance. From our first scene together, the chemistry was real. Late-night rehearsals turned into deep talks, laughter, and an unbreakable bond. What started on stage became a lifelong partnership rooted in love, respect, and creativity. That college class was the beginning of everything—our story, our family, and our beautiful life together.

One of our best memories was our Europe trip—lunch in Amsterdam, dinner in Paris, all in one day! The energy, the food, the people—we soaked it all in. From charming cafés by the canals to shopping in bustling Paris streets, every moment felt like magic. We laughed nonstop, tried everything, and connected with people from all over the world. It was spontaneous, romantic, and full of life—just like us. A perfect day that captured the spirit of our love and adventure.

If we won $20K, we’d use it to help pay down our mortgage and support our kids in college. With a big family and rising costs, every bit counts. This would ease financial stress, allowing us to focus on what matters most—our children’s education and securing our family’s future. It would be a huge blessing, helping us breathe a little easier while continuing to build the life we’ve worked so hard for over the past 32 years.
