How did your love story begin?

We met as High School Sweethearts 31 years ago. Derrick said to me, if I gave him a chance I wouldn't be sorry. He was right.

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

My favorite memory is our wedding day. It was so powerful to be surrounded by people who love us. When I think of positive energy of the ceremony and the immense fun of our wedding reception it feels my heart with so much joy and peace.

What would you do with $20,000?

We would pay off some debt and pay towards our daughter’s college tuition.
