How did your love story begin?

When I was 16 and he was 18. He saw me in the back of my uncle’s biology class at university and made sure to introduce himself later that night at an 80s dance. He told me he played volleyball (which I didn’t believe) and the. The next day after proving to me he could, I decided to give him a chance.

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

After so many moments, how could a couple married for almost three decades ever choose one?! Supporting each other through the tough times (our daughter’s two heart transplants) and through the good (traveling the world) to the mundane (sitting on the couch binge-watching TV shows) we will always choose to do it with each other.

What would you do with $20,000?

Definitely plan a trip. Maybe Portugal and Spain or the Masai Mara with our family (son and his wife and our grandbabies and our daughter)!
