How did your love story begin?

Mitch and I met in 2002, just four days before he deployed for Operation Enduring Freedom. We fell in love through weekly letters. After our first date, he told his mom he'd met his future wife. We married three years later and now celebrate 20 years of deep love, friendship, and respect. Our 13-year-old daughter calls us her "happily ever after". One of our favorite things to do together is travel. Our dream is to retire by the ocean, side by side, forever in love- just as we've always been.

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

In Vegas, Mitch and I hit a lucky streak- just enough to extend our stay. With our hearts full and pockets a little heavier, we finally visited the Hoover Dam, a dream we'd shared for years. Standing hand-in-hand, watching the sunset over the Colorado River, it felt like fate had dealt us the perfect hand.

What would you do with $20,000?

We would take our family on an incredible trip, making memories that would last a lifetime. We would strategically invest in our personal businesses, fueling our passions and watching them grow. There would be freedom to pay off debts and invest in our health, ensuring a vibrant future for us all. The money isn't just a win; it's a launchpad for our family's dreams, security, and well-being.
