Heidi Elsen

We were told not to get married by our priest. The two most stubborn people he’d ever met. We decided to be too stubborn to quit each other!

How did your love story begin?

We were set up by my sister in law to my surprise. He worked on the farm and was dirty every time I visited. When she set me up I was afraid to go alone so I had my sister come with me. When I got there I didn’t even recognize him because he was all cleaned up. He came over and asked if he could buy us a drink and I melted. After a short time I told my sister that she could go home as I was good. Really good! We’ve been together ever since!

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

We’ve had several beautiful memories together but I think my favorite memory we shared as a couple would be having our first and only garage sale to get ride of our college furniture. Of course during a deluge of rain. The neighbors came over and we sat in the garage amongst our garage sale furniture drinking beer. We were having so much fun we decided to go streaking around the house in the rain!!! Everyone had the best garage sale experience ever. No sales were made, just lots of mud.

What would you do with $20,000?

Take a vacation with our whole family!!!! We love spending time with our kids and grandkids. Our parents are all aging and it would be nice to get everyone together for a family trip with photos of our generations all together!!!
