How did your love story begin?

We meant on the internet while I was in the military, I was stationed at Ft Carson Colorado, and she lived in Puerto Rico, we spoke for about 3 months, I invited her to come visit, I payed for everything, the day she arrived? All went well the next day I proposed, she said yes, we would visit each other every other month me in Puerto Rico, and her to Colorado, we had a long distance relationship, 6 months later we got married, and is been 20 yrs going on 21! Our love! Is forever!

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

When we first meant, everyone was against it, but what ever she wanted she got, she made hard on me, she would push me away, but I never gave up!

What would you do with $20,000?

We would buy a house in puerto rico. Our grandchildren live in Puerto Rico. We would love to be able to surprise them and have a massive pajama party. Our love our family, our grandchildren is the most important thing in our lives, and this would mean the world to us!
