How did your love story begin?

We were in high school, 11th & 12th grade. We had a class together called Independent Living. We would look at each other from across the room until one day a mutual friend decided to get us together. While on a class field trip Patrick asked me to be his girlfriend and we have been together ever since. It was truly love at first sight.

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

Adopting our 4 children and finally having a family after years of infertility treatments, 3 babies passing away due to being born prematurely, and finally being told we needed a surrogate or consider adoption.

What would you do with $20,000?

With $20,000 we would pay off some debt, do a few minor repairs/upgrades around the house, and take a trip to New York City.
