Husband Tag

A while ago Keesha tagged me and I haven't done it yet! So I thought since it was our 6th anniversary on Sunday it would be a good time to do this tag. And I have some cute pictures but they won't upload so I will try again later!

Where did you meet? I actually dated his friend Greg for a while and he said he had his eye on me the whole time we were dating! Ha ha. Then after Greg and I broke up, Nick was cruising main in his Jeep with some friends and we met up with them. Pretty funny!

How long did you date before you were married? Well let's see.... we dated for a year and a half before his mission. Then after he came back we dated for one week and then he asked me to marry him! So technically one year six months and one week.

How long have you been married? 6 years on Sunday

What does he do that surprises you? He is always doing things that surprise me. The other day while I was getting ready he cleaned my kitchen, living room, vacuumed the whole house, and rearranged the furniture in our bedroom! He is amazing. Also, a lot of times when I come home from work he has already made dinner!

What is your favorite feature of his? His eyes are awesome and he has a really cute butt! Ha ha.

What is your favorite quality of his? He is such a hard worker! He gets up every morning at 3 and goes to work. He works long days and then comes home and picks up the kids and plays with them for a couple of hours before I come home. Most nights they are already fed, bathed and in their pajamas before I even get home! It is so nice. He is a great dad too. The kids are always so excited to see him. And of course he has a great sense of humor. He is always making us all laugh.

Does he have a nickname for you? He has called me mama ever since we had Avree.

What is his favorite color? Probably Black or Red. I am not really sure.

What is his favorite food? Probably Turkey Steak

What is his favorite sport? Basketball, but he likes to watch all kinds of sports on TV.

When and where was your first kiss? Summer of '99 in my parents driveway. I even remember what I was wearing. Ha ha!

Favorite thing to do as a couple? Probably go to dinner and the movie. Or boating.

Do you have any children? 2 Avree is 3, and Kason is 1

Does he have a hidden talent? He can fix just about anything. He gets this from his dad who can fix ANYTHING!

How old is he? 27

Who said I love you first? He did, and of course I said it back!!

What is his favorite type of music? He likes everything but his favorite is Rap/Hip Hop.

What do you admire most about him? His testimony is so strong and he is so smart. I can ask him questions about all kinds of things and he knows the answers! Also, his sophomore year of High School he was hanging out with friends that he had forever. They started to do things that he knew were not right and so he just stopped hanging out with them. He said that he didn't really have friends for a while but eventually his best friend now, Nick, asked him to hang out with them and they have been really close ever since. I really admire him for that. I know that I couldn't have left my friends in High School. He is a person who always stands up for what he knows is right.

Do you think he will read this? Probably not, but maybe if he knows it is about him then he will!

Tagged Again!

So I got tagged again. I guess when it rains it POURS!! And this is a hard one!! I have had a hard time thinking of what to write. Anyway, I have to write 6 things I like about myself... so here goes....
1. I always try and smile!! I like to see what a smile and a hello can do for someone else. I have tried to make this a habit. I notice when people smile at me and are genuinely concerned about how I am doing and what is going on in my life. So I always try to smile and maybe make someone's day a little better.

2. I work hard for what I have. I have always believed that if you want something you have to work hard to get it. I have been very blessed and I am so thankful for what I have. I have worked very hard to get where I am today and I am proud of myself and so grateful for my husband who has been right there with me teaching me as I go. Thanks Nick!! I have learned so much from you. i.e. sprinklers, car maintenance, painting, and yes, even sanding a school bus.

3. I am protective of those that I love. I have very special people in my life and I don't like when others treat them badly. I guess this is kinda the momma bear coming out in me. I pity the children that are mean to my kids! ha ha.

4. I am pretty creative. I love to decorate, paint, do craft projects, make curtains, etc. I always move things around in my house to make room for new things!!

5. I am constantly trying to learn. I have been working at the library for almost eight years now. I finished my classes and am now certified with the state. I have taken all of the computer classes that I can. I love to learn and so I am always looking for something new to do or to accomplish.

6. I am a truly happy person. I try to always have a positive outlook, and I have good reasons to do that. I feel like where I am right now is pretty good. I have a wonderful husband who always keeps me smiling. I have been blessed with two beautiful, healthy, children. I have great parents and siblings, and have married into a wonderful family who treats me as if I am their own. And life is good. I couldn't ask for anything more.

And so I tag... everyone who reads this!!! It is a good one. It takes a while but I think it is good to find the things that you like about yourself. I really had to think hard on this one!
