How did your love story begin?

Amber was a hair stylist and knew my entire family for a few years before we even met. We first met when Amber did my sisters hair for her wedding. A couple years past and I was getting ready to report to training camp and needed a hair cut. I went to Amber and we instantly hit it off. I got hurt and when I came back home, called her up and she said if I wanted to see her, I had to come to a Bible study. I did, and from that night, we quickly fell in love and 4 months later we were engaged.

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

Taking a road trip to Florida with hardly any money, and making our own fun without spending anything

What would you do with $20,000?

Take a long vacation with our two girls and show them what love is. Maybe a new content or Hawaii. Some were we could not afford. Love is enough.
