How did your love story begin?

Our love story began when he came over with his cousin who was my sisters boyfriend at the time. I was dating someone at the time and thought it was rude for him to be there. When he spoke to me I rolled my eyes and walked passed him. A few days later he started popping up at my mom's house. Whom I visited almost ever day. My mom and sister where trying to hook me up with him because I was in a bad relationship. After a few dates I said he wasn't my type. Here we are 14 years later.

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

We have so many favorite memories but if we had to choose it would be when I told him on his 1st airplane ride to Washington DC for his 35 birthday. He had never been out of California before or on a plane. We stayed at the Intercontinental Hotel which was right down the street from the White House. Even though it was during Covid we still managed to have a great time. We found out that trip that it wasn't the destination that was special but the fact that it was our 1st big trip together.

What would you do with $20,000?

After 14 years of dating we finally decided to get married. So the 1st $5k will go towards our honeymoon. The remaining $15k we want to buy land and split it between us and our 5 kids so we can all have a piece of land to call our own. Our goal is to someday have a family complex that will pass down thru the generations!
