How did you meet?

We worked together actually. We were just friends for a while and then I left the office and we stayed in touch.

 

When did you know he was the one?

I remember several months before we got engaged thinking that I could actually marry this guy and that I wanted to marry him.  That was a unique feeling for me!  We got engaged a short time later and then married four months after that.

 

What is one of your favorite things to do together?

Oh… so many!  We love to travel and visit new places.  We also love our evenings at home watching one of our favorite shows and cuddling on the couch.

 

What is something new you learned about your spouse after you were married?

That he had thousands of books.  Okay, maybe not thousands, but literally hundreds of books.  I had no idea he had that many!  We have bookshelves lining most of the walls in our basement just for his books!  Oh – and I didn’t realize that he doesn’t like to play games.  As in card games and board games.  He always humored me before we were married but finally confessed one day not too long ago.  I don’t make him play games anymore. J

 

What do you do to stay connected during everyday stresses of life?

We talk on the phone several times a day – just little check in phone calls.  And we send text messages too.

 

What is your best piece of marriage advice?

It’s all about compromise.  By the time I got married, I was pretty set in my ways.  I sometimes have to remind myself that it’s not all about me now, there’s someone else to consider.  Just because I want to do something doesn’t mean he wants to do something and vice versa.  It’s tough sometimes giving up something you want but it’s better in the long run because then we’re both happy.

 

What is your favorite quirk about your husband?

He’s always quoting movies. I’ve been around him long enough that now I’m starting to recognize the references, but at first I thought, “Why on earth is he saying that?”  Until I realized he was just quoting a movie…

 

What is something special you do just for your husband?

Every Sunday evening I give him an hour long back rub and/or foot rub.

 

Tell us something about yourself.

I waited a long time to get married – I was thirty-six.  We’ve been married for a year and a half and I love it!  Now we’re trying to get pregnant and I love that too.  So excited to start a family!
