I was living with my best friend and we invited some friends over to our house for the night. He came along with mutual friends. We all partied and had a blast. Towards the end of the night, we all were getting ready for bed, and I asked my friend to ask him if he would stay the night with me. He agreed. From that very first night, we were hooked. We layed in bed talking all night and staring into each other's eyes. It was like no one else existed. Now 13 years later & I still get butterflies.

On our 1 year anniversary, we went to Hawaii for our honeymoon. I was 7 months pregnant with our youngest. We got to swim with sea turtles & manta rays and just be together for 10 whole days, so many memories were made. It was magical.

For the last year we have really been struggling. My husband hurt his back and couldn't work. We now have switched roles, I'm working and he stays with our kids. It's been a roller coaster ride. This money would change our lives. We have always wanted to start a small farm, to grow our own food, and eventually start a wedding venue for our retirement plan. We love LOVE & think it would be so much fun to have wedding on our farm every weekend.
