Connect How did your love story begin?

We met through friends and instantly clicked over a shared joke of moving to Alaska. What started as a simple conversation turned into talking every single day since. From the very beginning, it felt easy—like we had known each other forever. Over time we built something unshakable. We’ve stood together through heartbreak, healing, love, and creating new life. Through it all, we’ve never let go. It started with one simple joke and grew into a life we had only prayed for!

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

Our favorite memory is finding out we were having a baby girl. After losing two sons, that moment felt like a light breaking through the dark. We’ve cried, we’ve prayed and held each other, and for the first time in a long time, felt real hope. It wasn’t just about the baby—it was about everything we’ve made it through together. We never knew if this would be possible for us to try again after all the medical complications. We’re truly so blessed.

What would you do with $20,000?

With $20,000, we’d invest in our daughter’s future—building generational wealth so she never has to start from scratch like we did. We’d create a home filled with the love, stability, and security we always wished for growing up. This wouldn’t just be a gift for us—it would be the foundation of a better life for her, and the legacy of everything we’ve overcome together.
