How did your love story begin?

Years ago we met once & her father warned me away (probably the right thing at the time). Life was rougher in us both (choices made). And in recovery & rediscovery of ourselves & life God in his wisdom saw to bring us together again. Since then we've continued to grow in our love & with him to guild us to an ever deepening meaning of that love.

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

There are so many picking only one is hard. We could say how excited our dog became the first time he heard that Kapua was mommy, or some of our fishing or hiking trips. But I think we have to go with any of our beach trips. We get to clean up the beaches while on long playfully romantic walks; & when in Lincoln City, OR. look for a finders keepers...so we know we'll have many more cherished memories to come there.

What would you do with $20,000?

Wow $20,000 would change our lives. We live paycheck to paycheck, & due a disability (seizures) I only work part time. We could pay off our student loans & get a much needed car, or we could find & buy a small trailer so that we have our own place we could afford; as we currently live on the kindness of our family members. Probably the small trailer so we can feel like normal whole & valued members of society (just the basic American dream, live simple own your place have peace of mind).
