How did your love story begin?

We met online...I was living at a friend's house in Oklahoma and she was staying at her sister's in Colorado. We were both on a social media site called Hi5, and that's where she saw my profile and decided to message me. I didn't even see the message until almost a month later. I messaged her back and we just started talking for hours every single day. We did that for 3 months until we finally met in person.

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

When we met in person for the first time. She was so beautiful and stunning, I was speechless at first. I think we kissed for like, 10 minutes straight. Going on 21 years together and 19 years married this year.

What would you do with $20,000?

Pay off a few things and go on the honeymoon we never really got to have.
