How did your love story begin?

We met in 2004 at a college. He inquired about me to a friend who shared his phone number with me. We dated for a short time before he announced that I would be his wife. Almost scared me off! We eventually fell in love and wed 5 months later! We were both single parents so we blended our families together. 5 months later, Hurricane Katrina destroyed our home and we faced many difficult, trying times for years afterwards. We’ve kept God at the center through it all which is why we still remain.

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

Our favorite memory is our wedding day. We didn’t have a traditional wedding, but a simple one in the backyard of a justice of the peace. Neither of us had ever been married before so while exciting, we were still both very nervous, emotional and couldn’t believe that we were finally marrying. We didn’t care about a costly, glam, big wedding ceremony. What was most important to us is doing what was morally right in God’s eyes and providing a stable, united wholesome home for all of our children.

What would you do with $20,000?

With $20,000 we would pay any unpaid bills and pay off any existing debt. Secondly, we would go on the honeymoon trip that we never had. Then we would help out our adult children financially and provide some essential assistance to our grandchildren. We would use whatever is left to start a non-profit either supporting disadvantaged youth in the community, lonely and/or disabled elderly, orphaned children, single parents or helping aspiring young entrepreneurs to start their own business.
