How did your love story begin?

We actually met in high school because I was dating his older brother! Thankfully, that didn't work out because here we are 30 years later and I found my twin flame. Our paths continued to connect in between our first meeting and today. We worked at the same fast food place in our early twenties and he came to visit me in Las Vegas one time shortly after. We disappeared for one another for about 10 years and then I found his older brother on Facebook. Thank you social media!

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

The first time that we saw one another as full-blown adults was almost theatrical. He was just so gorgeous, and I ran towards him and just wrapped my arms around him in the strongest hug I think I've ever given anybody. He still tells me to this day that that was one of the best hugs he's ever gotten! It just felt like everything was going right at that moment and after.

What would you do with $20,000?

We have actually never taken a vacation that didn't have some sort of business attached to it. Even our honeymoon was only 2 hours away from our home! I would love to take an actual vacation where we don't have to worry about anything but enjoying our time together. And of course, the rest would be used to pay off some erroneous credit cards!
