Connect How did your love story begin?

Our love story began at the Nashville Navy Party on June 3, 2014. The moment I saw Tommy standing behind the merch table for Country Artist Wade Hayes, I just couldn't see anything or anyone else. It was a beautifully overwhelming feeling that I didn't understand. We laugh about it now because that was when I began stalking him on Facebook, just waiting for him to open the door! Once he did, that was it!

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

We have had several amazing moments, but our trip to Hawaii before my major surgery is the one that comes to mind. Tommy laughs until he cries every time he recalls two moments specifically, 1 when the hand of GOD himself threw me out of the ocean at Electric Beach, and 2 when I was swimming right towards a MASSIVE sea turtle and had zero clue because I was chasing a convict tang with my camera and nearly had a heart attack when his fin grazed my shoulder as he dove back down in the water!

What would you do with $20,000?

Sadly, nothing romantic. We need to catch up on some bills from my medical journey. If there is enough money for airfare, no doubt Tommy will ensure we get to a beach somewhere, and I am sure we will create endless laughter and more amazing memories to share! Taking care of our home and family is all we need to be happy. If we win or lose, it doesn't matter because we still win! Thank you to everyone who took the time to read our story or vote. We hope you smiled :)
