Connect How did your love story begin?

We met thru my relatives, though we were young we shared each other's problems and grew close as best friends at one point we split up but then realized we missed each other and thru the same relative who introduced us they helped to get us back together, we knew we wanted to be together forever once we got together all we could think about was how we were going to build our life and raise a family.

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

Our favorite memories are the different ways we celebrate our anniversary each year, either he did something I never saw coming like where did he hide the huge vase of flowers I woke up to next to my bed, or the time I surprised him by blindfolding him, went to a place to eat when we were dating.. I drove around in circles and long roads to confuse him where we were going, which was 2 blocks from home had a friend set up our table.. at McDonalds!

What would you do with $20,000?

First would pay off major debts, then take a trip for our 45th anniversary to Canada for a honeymoon as we never had one when we got married,for we were still in school and very young, following year our first child was born, we have 3 children and 3 grandchildren, so never had the money to have a honeymoon trip as it was used to provide for them til this day, also our oldest grandchild is graduating next year he is autistic so want to take him on a trip he wants to go to.
