How did your love story begin?

We met coming home from work; my Metra train finally met up with a CTA bus, that would take me home! Lo and behold that bus was broken down and my now husband was waiting on his relief bus! He insisted I get out the snow flurries and after heated conversations he’d take me to my stop first… HA!! He didn’t 😅

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

Travels to Europe, Italy and France and reaching retirement! Completing our TRAVEL MAP with states/countries we haven’t visited, and most of all FAMILY TIME 🥰

What would you do with $20,000?

Be a blessing to our voters and then Travel the World 🌎 the rest of my life.
