Connect How did your love story begin?

We met through a client of mine who worked with Chris and thought we’d be a good match. It was a total blind date—I had no idea what he looked like. But from the moment we met, something just clicked. We shared stories, laughed easily, and it felt like we had known each other for years. Over time, we built a life rooted in trust, laughter, and shared goals. That blind date turned out to be one of the best decisions we never planned.

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

Besides our wedding, one of our favorite memories is the month we spent in Italy. Exploring new cities, enjoying slow mornings with espresso, getting lost in cobblestone streets, and soaking in the beauty of the countryside brought us even closer. It was a time with no distractions—just us, living fully in the moment, laughing, dreaming, and making memories we’ll carry forever. That trip was pure magic and a reminder of how much we love adventuring together.

What would you do with $20,000?

If we won the $20,000, we would build an addition to our home so our kids and grandkids have space to stay comfortably with us. Family means everything, and having a place where we can all gather under one roof—whether for holidays, weekends, or spontaneous visits—would be a dream come true. This addition would give us the room to make lasting memories and truly enjoy the moments that matter most, together.
