Allyn and I met in high school. He tried talking to me in ninth grade, but I thought he was too short. After tenth-grade summer, he came back taller, and through mutual friends, we fell in love, spending nights talking until we fell asleep. We dated at 16, were Prom King and Queen, became young parents, and built our life together. He supported me through LPN school, we married at 27, welcomed our second child, and through every challenge, we've always chosen each other.

My favorite memory as a couple is our honeymoon in Aruba. It was our first trip out of the country, making the experience even more special. We explored a new place together, created unforgettable memories, and celebrated the beginning of our marriage. Every adventure, sunset, and laugh reminded us that we were starting a beautiful new chapter. It's a trip I'll always cherish because it marked the start of our life together as husband and wife.

If we won $20,000, I would use it to pay off debt and create financial stability for my family. The remaining money would go toward my daughter's college fund to help give her a brighter future with less financial stress. This opportunity would allow me to invest in both our present and her future.
