15 years married, 20 years together, surviving babies, chaos, periods, peri menopause, and somehow still choosing each other daily.
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!
I spotted Joe's baby face at a bar 20 years ago and immediately forgot every other man existed. We talked, but didn't exchange numbers, so I occasionally returned hoping fate would help me out. Months later, my best friend found him, called me, and I practically sprinted there. This time, I got the number! Twenty years, 15 married, 4 daughters, and I'd still drop everything to go get his number again.
What is your favorite memory you've shared as a couple?The truth is, our favorite memory isn't one moment, but it's the life we've built together. But if we had to choose, it would be our family trip to Tennessee. It was our last big trip with all four of our daughters before our oldest left the nest and our next oldest prepared for college. Knowing life was about to change, we savored every laugh, adventure, and moment together. It reminded us that our greatest accomplishment isn't what we've done, it's the family we've built.
What would you do with $20,000?If we were lucky enough to win $20,000, we'd put it toward upgrading to our forever home. After 20 years together, our biggest dream is a place where our daughters and grandchildren can always gather. We envision holidays, cookouts, family dinners, and memories that last for generations. More than a house, it would be the heart of our family and a place everyone can always come home to.
