25 years ago, two young hearts started a journey. We’ve faced every season together — the good, the bad, and everything between.
Help us share our love story in Variety, take home $20,000, and go on a triple date with Jeff & Emilie Goldblum and Charlie Day & Mary Elizabeth Ellis!
We met at work at 18 and 20. Zachary knew who I was before I knew him. I thought he was the weird guy, but he made me laugh, so I gave him a chance. A year later, we were married. We've raised four amazing children, become first-time grandparents, and weathered every storm life could throw our way. After 25 years together, we still choose each other every single day—and I'd do this journey with no one else.
What is your favorite memory you've shared as a couple?Twenty-five years together has given us countless memories, but six stand above the rest: our wedding day, the birth of our daughter Linnea, our son Anthony, our daughter KayAnna, our daughter Zakaya, and becoming grandparents when our grandson Ryker was born. Every milestone has shaped our story, and together we've built a life and family beyond anything we ever imagined.
What would you do with $20,000?Winning $20,000 would help us put a down payment on our forever home. After raising four children, we no longer need the large house we're in. This would help us simplify life, lower our expenses, and start our next chapter together in a home that's just right for the two of us—with plenty of room for family, especially our grandson, to visit.
