1. How long have you and your significant other been together?
Technically, or Offically? We started hanging out ALL.THE.TIME about October of 2005, and it got to the point in January of 2006 where I couldn't tell if we were boyfriend and girlfriend or not. So being the nervous person I am, I wrote him a 3 page letter asking him to basically "check yes or no" to see what we were doing....I knew I wasn't getting any younger, and that either I was investing in the relationship or not...on January 11, 2006 we basically made it offical we were "together".
2. How did you meet? {What's your "love" story?}
We had a mutual friend named Jennie, and she used to have people over at her house to hang out, and we both happened to be there one evening. We became friends, and we talked occassionally on the phone, or hang out in a group setting, and one time he came to my apartment to watch a movie...but it wasn't until he was in the hospital for a staph infection that he and I started to really hang out and get to know each other.....I came to the hospital to kill time to let the traffic die down, and then when he was released I would go to his house to help his sister take care of him.....and then the rest is history from there.
3. If married, how long have you been married?
We were married on Nov. 7th, 2009. So that makes it 2 years and 3 months and 1 day.
We got married and had the reception at a place called The Courtyard Villa, it was a little hole in the wall place, but it was gorgeous inside and I fell in love as soon as I saw it. We planned for about 125 people, but we ended up with around 150 (we ran out of food at the reception - embarassed was an understatement)
5. Do you have any nick-names that you call one another?
We have the typical, babe, and baby....I sometimes throw in a shnookems or he will call me sweetheart. We use these names so much that sometimes when he says my real name, it sounds funny!!
6. Name 3 things you love most about your honey.
He will do anything to make me happy (within reason)
His love for me is so deep, I can feel it in every touch, every glance, every kiss.
I feel safe and protected with I am with him, and when he holds me, I melt.
7. Tell us how he proposed?
After church one Sunday night he drove down to Fort Worth to the Trinity Park....we drove and drove around, he was looking for a particular spot...I sort of figured what was going on because we had talked about it already...he gave up on the spot, and we parked walked to a picnic table, and we sat there and he told me how much he loved me and how much I mean to him and how he would love it if I was his wife, and then asked me to marry him....then he said he didn't want to get on one knee because he might not be able to get back up, ha ha.
8. Is he a flowers and teddy bear kind of guy for v-day, or strawberries, champagne, and rose petals?
I am not the teddy bear type, but he has got flowers in the past...Valentines is sort of low key around here, but we do love each other.
9. Are you a sunset dinner on the beach kind of girl, or pop a movie in and relax on the couch?
Depends on my mood, but most the time it is stay at home because we have no beaches around, ha ha.
10. Tell us one thing you'd like to do with your significant one day. If you could do anything? Go anywhere?
We have yet to be on a vacation together by ourselves....we haven't had a honeymoon...nada...nothing....so anywhere is a good place to be with him. We have fun no matter where we go.
11. Tell us what you plan on doing on this Valentine's Day.
I make the kids a little basket with something small and some candy. And then I have my Valentines decorations out, and we will have dinner as normal I am sure....I have to babysit that day anyways. We might have a special date night the Friday or Saturday after Valentines...
12. Are you asking for anything this Valentine's day?
No
13. Give us one piece of advice of keeping a relationship strong and full of love.
Make time to talk...and make time to listen. Know when to speak up and when to keep quiet. Say I love you every day.
14. Show us a picture of what love means to you.
