How did your love story begin?

In high school when he threw mashed potatoes at me and started a huge food fight in the cafeteria. We still laugh about that today. We have 8 adopted children that drive us crazy, but we love them all.

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

Every day we are together. Mark was in the Navy for 22 years, so that makes us so grateful for each and every day we are together. I would also say our wedding day because it started our lives together.

What would you do with $20,000?

Make my kitchen ADA compliant so I could use it better. I am amputee is hard for me sometimes to do the things I use to do in the kitchen. I love to cook and have family meals together. Mark made a huge, tiled table for all of us to sit around. The table has some cracks and chips, but we say it is just like our family not perfect but still together.
