How did your love story begin?

We locked eyes at a Friends wedding on the church steps, it felt as if God put us there at that moment. We have a beautiful family with 4 children and 5 grand children. We come from a long history of long term married couples, our parents are married over 50 years and still going strong.

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

As a couple of 33 years there are so many but our favorite memory was on our wedding day, I was so nervous and when I sat down to eat after the toast, my seat fell out from under me because of my poofy dress and my husband was there to catch me, he has had my back ever since.We have worked hard and have endured alot from military separations to day to day struggles and accomplishments. We are strong and here to stay.

What would you do with $20,000?

We would renovate the walkways and plant beautiful smelling trees and flowers, and renovate my front so our parents can walk in without struggle now that they are older, stairs are difficult and may need to move with us in the near future.
