How did your love story begin?

It was 11:30 at night and I was starting to fall asleep when I sat up remembering I had a plant outside to water. So I got up and went out to water it. I began crying cuz my ex husband who I was divorcing got me the plant. A neighbor heard me crying and came out so she could talk to me. As we were talking Matthew came walking by and heard me crying so he stopped to ask if I was okay. We ended up exchanging FB info. Seconds and me not going outside could've meant us never meeting.

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

It is hard to narrow it down to just one. Chivalry, God, Peace, Consideration, Selflessness, Tenderness, Romance, Communication. I could go on and on with words that define this love I had given up complete hope of ever finding. There is absolutely no doubt in my mind God had us planned long ago. We both saved each other. We were going through so much and had gone through so much before coming together. I'd say I wished we'd have met sooner but I feel we needed to go through it to appreciate now

What would you do with $20,000?

Erase some of the debt we have and use it to build the home we are building together. We got an old factory in the town we live in for a very good price due to a buddy of his owning the property line. It had an apartment in it that we have been running into our home. He has a mechanic shop and workshop he uses a lot. He's an 11 year Army mechanic who on top of his factory job, he uses those skills to do reasonably priced vehicle repairs for people who usually cannot afford the repairs elsewhere.
