We just celebrated our 24th anniversary. Three kids, a cross country move, and a whole transition later and we are still mad for each other!
We would like to thank you for supporting The Gierers in this year's competition. Your participation allows us to aid both the Los Angeles Regional Food Bank and Oceana in their respective missions to support hunger relief and ocean conservation.
We both auditioned for the same play in college. We were selected to read a love scene together, of course! By the end of the scene, we were so lost in each other’s eyes that the director had to call us twice to get our attention. I got cast, she got crew, and we spent every minute that we could flirting backstage. We went on our first date on closing night, and we’ve been madly in love since then.
What is your favorite memory you've shared as a couple?Our favorite memory together would be more of a family memory than just as a couple. We lived near St. Louis when our kids were growing up. Every year we took the boys to the zoo and took a picture as a family on a snake sculpture in the River Walk area. I loved the tradition while it lasted, and I absolutely adore looking back through the pictures and seeing our family grow together through the years.
What would you do with $20,000?We recently relocated from the Midwest to the East coast and had to cash in everything we had to fund the move. We’re trying to start a small farm with the help of our two oldest boys, while both working and attending school full time. We’re hoping to open a bed and breakfast that offers farm to table organic breakfasts and produce. $20,000 would go a long way on a down payment toward making our dream come true!
