Love, to us, is choosing each other every day. It is standing side by side through life's greatest joys and deepest sorrows.
We would like to thank you for supporting Amanda and Steven Wilson in this year's competition. Your participation allows us to aid both the Los Angeles Regional Food Bank and Oceana in their respective missions to support hunger relief and ocean conservation.
Our love story began at work. We both worked for the same large company—I worked in the shipping department, and he was a forklift supervisor. We would see each other, and over time I found myself wanting to know him better. On Valentine's Day, I decided to be brave and asked him out. That one question changed both of our lives. We exchanged our Xbox gamer tags and started spending time together, talking, laughing, and playing games. What started as a simple friendship, It became a marriage.
What is your favorite memory you've shared as a couple?My favorite memory is, without a doubt, marrying the love of my life. It's the moment I'll cherish forever. But one of my funniest memories is the one time I actually beat him at Call of Duty! He's always been really good at the game, so finally winning made us both laugh and brought us even closer. We also share a love for movies, which gives us so many great moments together, and he never misses a chance to tell me how much he loves my cooking.
What would you do with $20,000?I suppose the first thing I would do is donate some of it to AA because it has made a positive difference in my life, and I would want to give back so others can receive the same support. I would also help my mom and dad. My mom is a breast cancer survivor and is still in recovery, so being able to support my parents would mean a great deal to me. After that, I would pay off our bills so my husband and I could enjoy a vacation we have never taken in 11 years. Honeymoon never taken.
