How did your love story begin?

Our first date was at Agave in Redmond across the parking lot from my store. It went so well. After, I went back into my store and three female employees were watching me walk in, wanting to know how it went. I told them, I knew I was going to marry that man. They all three started arguing over who was going to be my maid of honor.

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

The next night after our first date, I spoke to my hubby at lunch, explaining I had to work late to close the store. I would not be off until 11pm. He gets up at 4am for work. He told me he would be at my store at 11pm to give me a good night kiss, I told him not to, he needs to be getting sleep. Well, I went out at 11pm after closing the store and he was there waiting for that kiss. Even brought his dog for me to meet. That sealed our relationship. I knew

What would you do with $20,000?

We would take my (our) 3 kids and grandkids on an Alaskan cruise we’ve been wanting to do.
