High school sweethearts, 20 years married, 5 amazing kids still in love, still laughing, still growing together.
We would like to thank you for supporting Maria and lance paquette in this year's competition. Your participation allows us to aid both the Los Angeles Regional Food Bank and Oceana in their respective missions to support hunger relief and ocean conservation.
We met in high school, instantly clicked, and never looked back. We got married right after graduation, young but full of love and hope. Through every challenge, including raising 5 kids and navigating military life, we’ve stood by each other’s side.
What is your favorite memory you've shared as a couple?One of our favorite memories is dancing in our kitchen late at night after putting the kids to bed no music, just us and our laughter echoing through the house. A small moment, but it reminded us why we fell in love.
What would you do with $20,000?We’d use the money to finally get ahead, pay down bills and debt from living on one income for years while raising our kids. We’d also put some toward our children’s future and maybe treat ourselves to a rare getaway, just the two of us.
