How did your love story begin?

It began when he drove his friend to meet my friend. I was standing out in the cold while my friend talked to his friend and he invited me to sit in his car. We dated for a few months after that but nothing really came of it. Some years went by and he spotted me walking out of a store. He called me and said something funny over the phone but I didn't recognize his voice (it had been about 4 years.) Once I realized who it was, we started dating again and it's been us every since.

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

It would be our daughter's dance recital when she was 4 years old. My husband is rough/tough guy who isn't very sentimental. Our daughter came out on stage and put on a great show and when I looked over, a tear was falling from his eye because he was so proud of her. It was a small moment but one that we hold dear.

What would you do with $20,000?

Finally redo our basement so we can hold indoor parties. Our home is tiny with a great backyard but not a lot space inside. A finished basement has been a dream of ours.
