We made and continue to make each other better versions of ourselves. We choose each other every single day.

The first week of Senior year I walked into science class and sat in front of this kid who was constantly playing with my curls. I cursed him out and told him to leave me alone, he kept on of course. From that day, I would walk around the school and anytime one of his friends would see me they would say “Watch out, Philip’s girl is passing”. I didn’t know his name so I was confused and bothered. When I passed him, he would tell me how I was going to be his future wife!
What is your favorite memory you've shared as a couple?After 24; almost 25 years, there are so many memories that we shared. I think what keep us falling in love with each other and the best memories I have of us is the moments we have literally laughed until we cried with belly pains. The nights that we spent just talking about our future and what that would look like, to then build our life the way we planned and are still working on.
What would you do with $20,000?I would put a down payment on our first house. We were young parents that raised amazing children. We sacrificed a lot to give them just enough. Life wasn’t easy but it was worth it. With the money I would put a down payment on our first house.
