Help us share our love story in Variety, take home $20,000, and go on a triple date with Jeff & Emilie Goldblum and Charlie Day & Mary Elizabeth Ellis!
Our story started with a three month chase! I was a history teacher at the local high school. He was a senior about to graduate. One evening I brought my younger sister and her friend to my school to enjoy the carnival fundraiser that was going on. We ran into my now husband and some of his friends. We ran around as a group riding rides, playing games, and entertaining my sister and her friend. After that night the phone calls started coming from my now husband.
What is your favorite memory you've shared as a couple?The night our first baby was born was a comedy of errors! My suitcase wasn’t packed but my husband ran out the door with it anyway! (He forgot me.) Our gas gage in the car was on empty so we drove to his dad’s house to borrow his car. At the hospital they wouldn’t take me to the maternity ward unless I rode in a wheelchair but, they couldn’t find one. Ken did. After six hours of Kenny walking the floor and me in labor, our daughter, Lori, was born.
What would you do with $20,000?$20,000 would be a wonderful addition to our account. It would allow us a little more freedom to pay off bills, make some donations, and I’d like a convertible.
