1. How long have you and your significant other been together?
april 15th marks the third anniversary of our very first date.
2. How did you meet? {What's your "love" story?}
this is a topic of heated debate, so let's just describe the first date. we went to agave, one of my favorite mexican restaurants here in town, and i proceeded to eat all of the chips and salsa because i was really nervous. i also remember thinking that i really liked his eyes, and that he was really tall. (to clarify, he does have really nice eyes, although he's not THAT tall... he is taller than me though)
3. If married, how long have you been married? {do tell}
august 29th will mark our 3rd wedding anniversary. for those of you who haven't taken elementary school math, yes, i married him a little over 4 months after our 1st date.
4. If you are married, where did you get married at? Big or small wedding?
we got married at the Special Memory Wedding Chapel drive-thru. Yes, hence the name of the blog. we ordered off a menu and everything, got two really sweet t-shirts, and had to improvise a little on the music selection. for this reason, our song is an old jackson 5 number from their greatest hits album, the only CD i found fit the occasion. :)
5. Do you have any nick-names that you call one another? Do share!
i guess we're pretty boring because i can't really think of anything. perhaps i shall try some on for size tonight.
6. Name 3 things you love most about your honey.
one, he makes me laugh.... two, he is a REALLY good listener.... and three, he is an incredible father.
7. Tell us how he proposed?
he proposed on christmas day of 2009. again, for the math buffs, you will note that this would be 8 months after our first date and 4 months after we got married. i know, this is not the way it's supposed to work. we went for a walk when all of a sudden it started to POUR rain all over us. i am not a runner, and had no plans on running, so i just calmly informed him that we would just have to get wet. he walked a couple of steps and went down on one knee and told me that he wanted to spend the rest of his life with me.
8. Is he a flowers and teddy bear kind of guy for v-day, or strawberries, champagne, and rose petals?
he's more like the perfect present kind of guy. 99 times out of 100, he will get me the most perfect present. (i will tell you the story about that one time on some other occasion) this year i got a prenatal massage package. perfect.
9. Are you a sunset dinner on the beach kind of girl, or pop a movie in and relax on the couch?
can i be both??
10. Tell us one thing you'd like to do with your significant one day. If you could do anything? Go anywhere?
i'd like to travel with him, just the two of us. perhaps when our kiddos are grown. :)
11. Tell us what you plan on doing on this Valentine's Day.
just a quiet evening at home, also celebrating our son's second birthday.
12. Are you asking for anything this Valentine's day?
no, but he got me the perfect thing anyway.
13. Give us one piece of advice of keeping a relationship strong and full of love.
LAUGH. laugh at things that are funny, or sad. laugh at each other. laugh at yourself.
14. Show us a picture of what love means to you.
the best surprise either of us have ever received.
