My Hubby Tag

1-Where did you meet your husband?
We met in an accounting class at LDSBC. I saw him across the room and thought he must be married or seriously dating someone because he was so cute!!! I gradually moved closer and closer to where he sat until I was eventually behind him. Then one wonderful day someone took his seat and the closest one open was right next to me!!! After that he was hooked. He sat next to me the rest of the semester!

2- How long did you date before getting married?
We started going on dates in February of 2007, however, I now know he was also taking another girl out at the time. He officially said he just wanted to date me in April of the same year. We got engaged at the end of August and married in November.

3-How long have we been married?
We have been married one year and 3 months.

4- What does he do that surprises you?
He loves to play with little kids. He always wants to sit behind them in sacrament meeting and will even get to the point of getting down on the floor to look at or play with them. It is so embarrassing. I love it though. I know he will be a wonderful dad someday.

5- What is your favorite feature of his?
Kory's eyes. They are gorgeous! I also love his ears. They are so little and soft. :-)

6- What is his best quality?
He is very patient with me and everything that goes on in our lives. Along with that he is very caring about how I feel.

7-Does he have a nickname for you?
Mostly he just calls me sweetie.

8- What is his favorite food?
He likes anything that comes in large portions. He especially always asks for white chili, chicken parmesan, and homemade macaroni and cheese.

9- What is his favorite sport?
Kory is not really into many sports. If he watches one he will get into it if someone else that is with him is into it. I am planning on hooking him on golf.

10- When did you first kiss?
About a week after he said he wanted to just date me. My roommate told him he should so he did.

11- What is your favorite thing to do as a couple?
Anything where we can be together. I especially love playing board games and dragging him to stores with me. He makes shopping so fun.

12- Do you have any children?
Not yet.

13- Does he have any hidden talents?
I had no idea he was such a handyman. He is able to fix almost everything. He is also amazing with money and finances! I'm always amazed at his brilliance.

14- How old is he?
23

15- What is his favorite music?
Music? I seem to remember him liking music once but now all he ever listens to is talk radio. If I am with him he will normally turn it to country for me.

16- What do you admire about him?
He has an incredible faith that things will work out the way they are supposed to and is always trying to help me see it that way.

17- What's his favorite color?
Sage Green.

18- Will he read this?
I will tell him to.

19- Who said "I love you first"?
He did. I could tell he really wanted to say something and my guess was that was what he wanted to say. I didn't help a bit and tried to make it pretty hard on him to get up the nerve, but he eventually just came out and said it.

20- Who do I tag??? Mother Marchant, Heather, Michelle, Natalie ( I think it is interesting and fun to hear about these experiences from everyone-even all you old timers :-))

Valentines!

Valentines was such a wonderful day this year. Kory made it very special. He told me awhile back that if I would stop worrying about making sure he made holidays special that I would be surprised at how special he really could make them without my help. I never really planned on letting him handle a holiday all on his own but I have been busy. Plus, Valentines was never a grand holiday for me anyway, so I just didn't mention anything to him. Well, Valentines morning I woke up and hopped in the shower and when I got out he had breakfast cooking. I came out to hug him and he handed me a card he had made and a very cute skirt he had bought! I was utterly floored! The cute skirt he bought. (p.s. I'm not really that tall! I am wearing 2 1/2 inch heels.)

Who would've known. That is not all though. Later, he took me to a movie I had been wanting to see and then came home and made steaks and mashed potatoes for dinner. (My favorite and a tradition from last year.) What a wonderful hubbie I have! This holiday was more special than any of the ones that I have tried to tell him how to make it special. :-) I may just have to trust him in the future...
