Dawana and Brian

We were not looking for each other. I was in a relationship & he was happy being single. God led me to my best friend who became my husband.

How did your love story begin?

I worked at a little Café that my parents owned and he would come in to eat when his road crew was working out that way. I was having a busy day and had argued with my boyfriend at the time. According to him I had a sour look on my face and he stopped me and said "Smile girl! It can't be that bad!" We became best friends and the rest is history.

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

He ended up asking me for a ticket and my ink pen to write something down. He ended up giving it to me that day and it said "2 rules to live by: Rule 1: Don't sweat the small stuff. Rule 2: It's all small stuff" That ticket still hangs on my fridge and I even had it put on a tumbler I use.

What would you do with $20,000?

Pay on our dream farm. We knew what each of us had prayed for and God literally placed our farm in our laps. Land (37 acres) that he wanted and a 3 bedroom house with a wrap around porch that I wanted. The man was only thinking about selling until he met us. God truly has blessed us!!
