1. Where did you meet your husband?
We met in the Young Single Adult Program in Connecticut. I took a job in CT after I graduated and met him when he came home from his mission.
2. How long did you date before you married?
Technically, we didn’t “date” much. We knew each other for about 4 months and then we were pretty much going steady. It was more of a jump from friends to serious. We were engaged 5 weeks later and then were married 2 ½ months after that. We both knew what we wanted and didn’t feel it necessary to drag it out.
3. How long have you been married?
Coming up on 9 years this Thursday.
4. What does he do that surprises you?
He always cracking jokes at the most surprising times.
5. Favorite Feature?
His handsome blue eyes, which he has passed to both of our kids.
6. Favorite Quality?
He’s very loyal – even when others are talking about their wives and their interesting personalities, he never says anything about me. Even though there is plenty to complain and laugh at!
7. Does he have a nickname for you?
Bokkie – supposedly it’s a South African term.
8. Favorite Food?
I would have to say Baby Back Ribs or my Dad’s tritip with Spade-L seasoning.
9. Favorite Sport?
Definitely basketball – he plays twice a week and has coached it at the K-8 school he’s working at. Although, he does enjoy watching and playing football, baseball, soccer, golf, etc.
10. When and where was your first kiss?
In July of 1999 at my apartment in CT.
11. What is your favorite thing to do together?
Go to the temple, we don’t get to do that much together anymore since the kids are so young, but we used to go every month back in CT before we had Zach. It was special because the nearest temple was at least 2 hours away and we had to pretty much take the whole day to go. Right now we just like being together and doing fun things with the kids.
12. Do you have children?
Two. Zach is 5 ½ and Hailey is almost 3.
13. Does he have any hidden talents?
He’s great at making me laugh, even when I’m seriously worried about something. He has a unique talent at making me feel relaxed.
14. How old is he?
Thrity-two (just last week) – yes, that’s two years older than me. He likes to joke that he likes “older” women.
15. Who said I love you first?
I did, although he probably thinks it was him.
16. What is his favorite music?
Rock - not the really hard stuff, but stuff like Aerosmith, Linkin Park, etc.
17. What do you admire most about him?
He’s great at being a dad. He has more patience with the kids than I do most times. He is always playing and tickling them on the floor.
18. What is his favorite color?
Blue.
19. Will he read this?
Only if I tell him to.
20. Who do you tag?
Let’s see, I’m curious to hear what each of sisters/sister-in-laws have to say about their husbands, so I tag Holli, Afton, Michelle, and Kylie.
