I have been tagged by my friend Rhonda to share the following information with you about my husband:
1. Where did you meet? Doug says he sat next to me in a restaurant when I first moved to Florida...I was way pregnant with Lily at the time and NOT interested in talking to him or any other man...SO I don't remember this conversation but he said he thought I was the most beautiful pregnant woman ever...he is tooooo kind! I guess he didn't realize we would be spending the first 3 years of our marriage pregnant so I'm glad he likes me that way! Anyway, we were at a restaurant with a bunch of singles from church...so we were friends for a really long time before we dated...THAT is another long story for another post....
2. How long did you date? Let's see...started dating in June 2004, got engaged that December and married July of 2005
3. How long have you been married? almost 3.5 years
4. What does he say that surprises you? That he loves my cooking. I mean, I'm not a terrible cook but I'm not "AWESOME" like he says...but I guess it's in the eye of the beholder so I will accept his compliment :)
5. What is your favorite feature of his? His bald head!!!! He's SOO happy I feel that way too. I had no idea how insecure he was about it until he started dating me and realized I wasn't lying about how much I liked it!!!
6. What is your favorite quality of his? He is so honest and a hard worker. He is a very devoted father and spends just about every free moment he has with his kids and me...he's all about the family. I also love how he truly tries to please God with everything he does.
7. Does he have a nickname for you? no
8. What is his favorite color? he loves me and the girls in a very specific shade of purple..it's hard to describe and harder to find!!!!
9. What is his favorite food? a grilled hamburger with baked beans and watermellon on the side! oh and steak fries!!
10. What is his favorite sport? I never thought I would live to see the day when I said that I'm SO glad my hubby doesn't like the traditional ball sports! He's into mountaineering, cycling, kayaking, things like that (although he's given it up for now in order to raise a family but he still loves it!)
11. When and where did you first kiss? I can't remember when as far as the date I just remember it was after he came back from a trip to Colorado. He was gone for about 10 days and we had been dating several months by this time and really didn't plan to kiss at all until we got married....BUT, after having him gone for that long we both realized we never wanted to be apart like that again (we weren't engaged yet but certainly knew we would get married after this trip took place!). I picked him up from the airport with his friend and drove them to my house for dinner....he left to take his friend home but came back immediately and I burst into tears when he showed back up (I guess I was too embarrassed with his friend there to do that when I first saw him!) and we kissed....
12. What is your favorite thing to do as a couple? I would say traveling..although we don't do it much with our expanding family...but when we have had weekends away, it's the best! Even a trip to Ft. Myers on the weekends with the kids is fun for us...SO, definitely traveling!
13. Do you have any children? Lily, 8 1/2, Holly 2 1/2, Sage 1 1/2 and due for baby 4....Ok, so I'm officially overdue as I'm typing this....thanks for the reminder! BLAH!
14. Does he have a hidden talent? He will kill me for revealing that HE is my pedicurist.... Oh and most people don't know he's an incredible artist!
15. How old is he? 43
16. Who said, "I love you" first? I waited for HIM to say it first!
17. What is his favorite type of music? Jazz
18. What do you admire most about him? How much he loves God, me and our kids and how hard he works for a company that doesn't appreciate him...
19. Do you think he will read this? eventually...
I have no idea how to tag more friends..I'm still new to the world of blogging.....!!!!!
