I was fresh out of an abusive relationship with a 2 mth old baby & was working at Walgreens when the new manager (Steven) walked in & that's how we first met. We got to know each other over the next 4 mths & then started dating, 2 mths later he proposed (LONG story how we got there so quickly), 1 yr later we got married, 2 mths after we married Steven adopted my son, & 20 yrs later we are still together with another child (a girl) mixed into this crazy rollercoaster we have called our life.

We have 2 major favorite memories!! The 1st fav memory is (again it is a LONG story how we got to this part) when my abusive Ex surrendered his rights to my son & then 2 mths after Steven & I got married Steven adopted my son. Then of course our 2nd fav memory is after MANY years (13) of trying & then giving up to have a child together, God finally gave us our daughter. I’m sure there are other favorite memories thrown in there after being together for so long, but these are our most favorite!

First we'd pay off some bills!! Then with whatever we might have left over we hopefully will be able to finally have the trip of our dreams to go to Italy and Ireland to see where our families come from. Plus put some money into our kids bank accounts to help them for their future.
