How did your love story begin?

We met in 1988 in Abilene Texas on N 1st the local teen cruising strip. My husband was parked and standing by his truck with friends and I was driving by. All I saw was a the back of him with his cowboy hat and Wrangler jeans, and the rest was history! We had an amazing summer romance and we knew that we didn’t want it to end. He took me home to meet my parents, but my parents thought we were too young to be that serious and wouldn’t allow me to see him anymore, so we ran off.

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

We married so young and started a family right away we never really had a honeymoon, we finally went on a cruise on our 32nd wedding anniversary and had the honeymoon we never had. It was amazing it is something we will never forget.

What would you do with $20,000?

Finally buy a home with some land, so we can pass it down to our children and grandchildren.
