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

Our favorite memory is our 25th Silver anniversary we actually renewed our vows through church. We had 24 bridesmaids and I was number 25 . And all family included mom,dad,siblings,we have 4 sons too, we are family oriented our dance song was “ I cross my heart” by George Straight. It was beautiful moment That to us was one of the best memories we’ve shared together and still making memories now with our grown sons / daughter-in-law’s all married and enjoying and our grandkids to the fullest!!

What would you do with $20,000?

Ok so one of our biggest dreams was to build a pool in our backyard we were saving money but then I was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2016 so we had to make financial changes. I am now 10 years CANCERFREE! Thank you JESUS!🙌🏻 (that's all that mattered) we got an above ground pool for now. So that money would help get back on track for our dream pool .Or we’ve always wanted to take a family trip to Hawaii with all my kids to continue making memories we love taking family trips ask my boys 😂
