1) Where did you meet? We met at the institute down at University of Arizona. I had seen him around and asked someone about him and they told me to forget it because he never talked to anyone and was hard to get to know. One day I sat in the chair next to him and said hi and he talked almost non-stop for the next 2 hours.
2) How long until you got married? After that day we became friends, but we didn't start dating for another 3 months. We got engaged a year later and married 5 months after that.
3) How long have you been married? We have been married 7 1/2 years.
4) What is your favorite feature on him? So many things-but I think that my favorite is how tall he is.
5) What is your favorite quality about him? I love his sense of humor. He is a little hard to get to know, but when you do you will find that he is so funny-in a very sarcastic, corny way-he can always make me laugh.
6) Does he have any nicknames for you? He is very romantic and usually calls me-Hey You (can you sense the sarcasm.)
7) What is his favorite food? He is not very picky-he likes practically everything, but he loves southern cooking like country fried steak and fried okra.
8) What is his favorite sports to watch? College Basketball-especially the Arizona Wildcats. We can never make plans during March for fear of interrupting March Madness.
9) When was your first kiss? We had been dating for a week and I walked out with him to his truck to get something and he just grabbed me and kissed me.
10) What is your favorite thing to do as a couple? We love to go out to dinner together and watch movies at home. Alex buys almost every movie so if anyone ever wants to borrow one-give me a call.
11) Do you have kids? We have two little girls and a boy due in March.
12) Does he have a hidden talent? I'm not sure it is so hidden, but he is good at basketball. He plays with some guys in our ward and he loves it so much. He has actually just started coaching the freshman team at his school and is excited to get the season started.
13) How old is he? Old!!! Just kidding-he will turn 31 this December.
14) Who said "I love you first"? I can't even remember!! I think that we both knew from the beginning that we were going to get married that it wasn't that big of a moment-almost like a formality. I just asked him and he told me to say that he did to make him look good!!
15) What do you admire most about him? I love the dad that he is. I was a little worried when I married him because he didn't seem that into kids,but as soon as Olivia was born he absolutely adored her and is an amazing dad. He takes care of them 3 nights a week by himself while I am in class and they complain when I am there-Olivia tells me to go to school. They love him so much.
16) What is his favorite music? He used to like country music the best, but now that he is teaching high school he knows all of the "cool" music that the kids listen to.
17) Do you think that he will read this? Yeah-mostly because I already told him I was doing it.
Anyway-hope I didn't bore anyone out there. Here are some more pictures of my great husband!!He would have held Olivia all day long.
He even lets the kids play X-box with him-unplugged of course.
I think Olivia took this picture.
On temple square in Salt Lake he carried Abby in his jacket the whole time to keep her warm. I don't think there is anything sexier than a man carrying a baby.
