How did your love story begin?

After having life go separate ways and living all over the world apart from each other, we reconnected in our 40s, and God allowed us to have a beautiful baby girl and build a life of our dreams. We found love and let me tell you that life is really good when you’re married to your best friend. I lost a full-term baby girl 11 years ago, and we were blessed with a beautiful and healthy girl in our 40’s. We are a story of redemption, resilience, and have a huge story to tell.

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

Being teenagers together and building memories before there were cell phones or social media to document it all, although we did have a camcorder and have all of our life and our amazing early adventures on film. We were each other‘s ride or die and never lost touch and now our living our happily ever after.

What would you do with $20,000?

We would build a creative space for musician, writers, and artists to come and have beautiful retreats and getaways to rejuvenate their soul. Our heart is to serve and love others, and every bit of our money would go towards helping others. We are lovers of Jesus and desire to build his kingdom. Our lives are meant for a great purpose, and we would use this blessing to bless others.
