How did your love story begin?

It began long ago in small town . We met and i (Tina) considered myself stronge and never wanted to be in an actual relationship with no one . I didn’t believe people stayed together forever and I didn’t believe in love. We became close friends and I could be me and not worry about those rules that couples give to each other or games they play. I kept it real. He was freshly divorced so he was fine with the no strings attached with any rules. It started just like that,18 years later here we are.

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

Honestly we have many memories . Some were difficult but many nights of just having a glass of wine and putting a movie of my choice was the best nights and more than one night. No couple can say oh it’s all easy and roses. But yet we never married and are still together when we could have left at any given time and we didn’t we are still going. Our friendship over ruled any circumstance and every situation that came our way

What would you do with $20,000?

We would go to the mountains for a getaway vacation. We have never got to go to the mountains because it has never been in our budget. We have been local places ever so often for a day or so but he has always wanted for us to go to the mountains and I want to let him choose because he has given me so much love and concern and been there for me in the worst times of my life and all the good times. We would get married and have a pretty wedding maybe even at the mountains. Maybe fix our house .
