Where did you meet each other?
Both: We met at Langley Air Force Base, Va.

When did you realize that you were in love?
Conrad: When I started wanting to spend all of my free time with her.
Angela: I realized I was in love when I no longer cared what the people around us were doing!

What did you do on your first Valentine's Day?
Conrad: I was TDY, so we had to settle for talking on the
telephone.
Angela: That was long before we were able to SKYPE, we didn't even see each other that day, but he made up for that many, many times over the years. (smile)

What would you say is the most romantic characteristic or best personality trait about your spouse?
Conrad: Angela is very helpful when someone is at a low point, needs to talk and needs to hear just the right words to make them feel better.
Angela: Conrad is a "caretaker" by nature, so he's very helpful and always coming up with new ways to make my life easier. He also is forever making me laugh! I love that about him!

How do you balance your career and time with your spouse?
Conrad: Time together is not much of a problem. We work in the same building and have lunch together quite often. My job doesn't take me away from home much.
Angela: I keep reminding myself that HE'S irreplaceable! That helps me to remember that I must carve time out of EVERY day for him.

How many children do you have?
Both: We have two children.

Write a special Valentine's Day message to your spouse.
Conrad: Anyone can catch your eye, but it takes someone special to catch your heart. Be my valentine. Thanks for already getting your gift from me.
Angela: Randy, thank you for being the only Valentine that I'll ever need! You make EVERY day feel like Valentine's Day and I love you!
