How did your love story begin?

On MATCH. Both finished up divorces. I had a couple of nieces fill me with mimosas on Christmas and then put me on MATCH. We had our first date on 3/15/20 and then WI shut down due to Covid. We walked every day for the next 6 weeks until we had our official date on June 1, 2020. Got to know each other with no pressure of the 1st date.

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

Going to Pearl Harbor as a couple for our honeymoon. Russ knew that I had wanted to see it since the 5th grade. I had never been on a cruise let alone to Hawaii. He told me that his goal was to make all of my dreams come true. He had exceeded that.

What would you do with $20,000?

God provides and we acknowledge that so the first 10% goes back to him. We have a farmhouse that is over 140 years old and it needs renovations in quite the way!
