How did your love story begin?

Sean: A couple of summers ago, my best friend invited me to work concrete with him for the season in MT. That job seriously kicked by butt! But by the time that job was winding down and I was ready to head home, I met Liz. After our first date, I quickly realized I needed to stay a little longer. Liz: Our story is actually crazy because my parents house was built years ago by his friends business. So even though we lived states away from each other, there was that connection.

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

Liz: Our wedding was pretty amazing but the time that Sean surprised me on Valentine’s Day is my favorite. We had been dating long distance when I found him standing in a parking lot on my drive home from work. He had a packed car, a bouquet of flowers, and the goal of permanently moving nearby. Sean: That was a crazy time because I had just made enough money to make the drive there and to survive for a couple of weeks. I didn’t have anything lined up, I just knew I had to be near her.

What would you do with $20,000?

We would DEFINITELY be using some of that for our next cross country roadtrip (our goal is to visit all the National Parks someday) But most of the money we would put towards a home and starting our family. We’re both very passionate about adoption and this prize money would be a big help in that next chapter of our lives.
