How did your love story begin?

Jason and I met in youth group when we were 13. Our group went on a camping trip. When I got home, I was teased that everyone could tell we liked each other. I denied it. I moved a couple months later and transferred schools. When I was 16, I was working at an Old Time Photo Booth during the 4th of July carnival. Jason and his friend saw me and looked me up in the phone book. He finally got up the courage to ask me out. We have been happily in love every sense

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

When we were 16 Jason told me one night on the phone that he was going to call a Secic named Miss Cleo. After trying to call for an hour and getting the busy signal, I figured he hung the phone up wrong. He called and told me he had been talking to her that whole time. He said she knew everything. She said he was going to marry me, and we'd have 2 sons, and 2 daughters. I laughed and said I only want 3 kids max. Well, we did get married, and we have 2 boys, and 2 girls. His phone bill was $250.

What would you do with $20,000?

We have worked really hard for the life we have built together; we don't get much quality time together with the kids running around and the everyday life stresses. We're coming up on our 30th anniversary together. We would love to go on a vacation just the two of us and maybe even stop by an old-time photo booth for a quick pic!
