We have been married almost 24 years. We became foster parents and were able to adopt four beautiful children. We both work at the school.

I actually have known him for many many years. In fact , I was actually his sister‘s best friend in high school. I had a crush on him my freshman year in high school, but did not tell him. I started going to the house more to hang out with his sister. We talked and got to know each other better. When I turned 19 years old, we started dating, got engaged about 6 months later, and were engaged two years, and then finally got married.
What is your favorite memory you've shared as a couple?We have several memories that would be our favorite. Our wedding day, of course! But I think the most important memories would have to be our adoption days. Knowing that the kids were legally ours, and that we became a family.
What would you do with $20,000?We would definitely like to fix up our home. Our house needs a new roof! Also living on a teacher salary and he works for maintenance. We would definitely put some in savings and maybe take a trip for our 25th anniversary.
