How did your love story begin?

I was a worship leader at a local small church in Kenia Alaska and did not have a drummer. My husband plays the drums and was more than happy to join the worship band. 2 years later I ran away with the drummer ❤️

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

Favorite memory- we lived in Alaska for many, many years. 6 years ago in 2019, one of our 6 kids blew up like the Michelin guy after camping outside in the winter. When I took him to the doctor they said he has Cold Urticaria. They gave us an epi pen to use and said he couldn't be outside below 32 degrees for more than 20 minutes at a time. Then the doctor said we needed to move before next winter. So we bought 7 one way tickets to move to Texas June 1st, 2020.

What would you do with $20,000?

We would pay off debt and then with the rest pay for a family vacation. With all our kids, their spouses and our grand babies. ❤️
