How did your love story begin?

2021 a year etched on my heart. Tim, 9 years my senior and a widower and myself with the worst track record in relationship history. A brief meeting at a local tavern while having a cocktail with a friend. He was that guy that made everyone laugh, including me and my life at the time was hardly anything to laugh about. Next a friend request on FB, then coffee on my deck after church, a ride on a motorcycle and FaceTime conversations that lasted hours. A friendship started and our story began.

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

Too many to chose from, but the day we married in the woods behind our home. A house we made a home together, from the floor to the ceiling we did it all. DIY projects became our past time and we just enjoyed being together. We grew so much as a couple during that time and our patience with one another surprises people. Surrounded by friends and family while we said our vows in a place created by us.

What would you do with $20,000?

I share 5 granddaughters with Tim as him and his first wife Lisa never had children. These girls are beyond amazing! Two of them are 13, the others are 11, 7 and 4. They have all been affected by the absence of a parent due to addiction. They are brave, strong, smart and loved by us dearly. I would put most of the money aside for them to use on something special when they graduate from high school. Tim and I don't require much, but we've always talked about a weekend in the mountains.
