In honor of Valentine's Day, I thought I would do this Q & A I found on one of the many blogs I read,
Mrs. Southern Belle.
1. How long have you and your significant other been
together?
We started dating in June 2003 so almost NINE years! Time flies when you're having fun for sure!
2. How did you meet? {What's your "love"
story?}
Well, his first cousin Crystal has been my best friend since kindergarten and his uncle was the best man in my parent's wedding so I have known OF him practically my whole life. However, I was home for the summer after my first year of college in 2003 and I was beyond bored so I asked Crystal if she wanted to ride with me to WalMart and she said yes. On our way there, she decides to call her cousin Bruce and see if he wanted to ride with us because "he just broke up with his girlfriend and he's probably not doing anything" so whatdaya know he's not doing anything. He goes to Walmart with us and proceeds to point out everything "his ex-girlfriend" wore/used. After we dropped him off after riding the strip a few times, I told Crystal "he sure is hung up on his ex, huh?". Needless to say he wasn't so hung up on his ex afterall. ;-)
3. If married, how long have you been married? If not,
is this the guy you hope to marry? {do tell}
We were married on TUESDAY September 18th, 2007. It was a glorious day! We have been married four years going on FIVE!
4. If you are married, where did you get married at? Big
or small wedding? If not, where would you like to get married? And
will it be big or small?
We were married at Jekyll Island Club hotel on Jekyll Island and it was a very small wedding. I loved it because it was not stressful at all.
5. Do you have any nick-names that you call one
another? Do share!
We call each other "Baby" "Darling". He sometimes calls me Jodi Modi and I call him Brucey and "dude", he really hates being called dude but I still do it anyways. haha!
6. Name 3 things you love most about your honey.
-He is one of the most giving people you will ever meet. Do you need the shirt off of his back? HERE you go!
-He is a simple. He definitely enjoys the simple things in life and he has taught me to enjoy them too!
-His style of parenting. He is the best Daddy ever to our little girl! I love to see them interact and he can get the most giggles out of her. He also treats me the way he wants her to one day be treated which says a lot about who is he is.
7. Tell us how he proposed? Or your ideal
proposal?
Well technically there was two proposals. The first one he took me to the place where we first met which was the Winn Dixie parking lot. The second one was at my favorite restuarant in Savannah, Kasey's.
8. Is he a flowers and teddy bear kind of guy for
v-day, or strawberries, champagne, and rose petals?
He is the "I know my wife would kill me if I spent money on flowers" kind of guy! haha! Dinner with my two favorite people is certainly enough for this love holiday.
9. Are you a sunset dinner on the beach kind of
girl, or pop a movie in and relax on the couch?
I'm a "Pop a movie in and relax on the couch" kind of girl minus popping in a movie. haha! I'm not much of a movie watcher these days. Give me The Bachelor!
10. Tell us one thing you'd like to do with your
significant one day. If you could do anything? Go anywhere?
I can't wait to take our daughter to Disney and Sea World. He would absolutely be on cloud nine with her at Sea World!
11. Tell us what you plan on doing on this Valentine's
Day.
We are probably staying in and doing what we always do but he did take me to dinner Saturday night! We walked in and I saw all of the roses on the tables and I was like "oh yeah it is Valentine's weekend". How sad, right?
12. Are you asking for anything this Valentine's
day?
We don't usually exchange gifts except for maybe some reese hearts.
13. Give us one piece of advice of keeping a
relationship strong and full of love.
Marry your best friend, communicate often, and love him always. So many people enter into marriage with unrealistic dreams of how a marriage can be but reality is harsh. Marriage is not a fairytale, it is more like a job. The more you communicate, work at it, and invest in it, the better it is.
14. Show us a picture of what love means to you.
