How did your love story begin?

We met in college. We were just friends for a year or so because he was too nervous to ask me out. Until one day he planned an elaborate "scavenger hunt" on our campus to ask me to be his girlfriend. He ended the evening by making me my favorite meal: peanut butter and jelly with corn chips.

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

On my one year anniversary of being cancer free my husband and I went skydiving over the Grand Canyon. He had always wanted to skydive but he ended up being more terrified than I was. It was great to float down and meet each other upon landing. It’s a special and scary memory we will always share.

What would you do with $20,000?

Adoption is very expensive and so we would put it towards that! We can't wait to have a little girl in our home. With any remaining funds, I'd like to complete a Rim to Rim hike at the Grand Canyon on my 5 year anniversary of being cancer free!
