Charisse's Tag

1. Where did you meet your husband?
Well.....a long long long time ago I was in college at byu. I just happened to move into an apartment with a nice girl named Clover. She just happened to be a cousin to my man. She convinced me to go to her cousins house for the 4th of July to have a cook out and go to a rodeo. Three weeks later we were engaged.
2. How long did you date before you got married?
Well from the first meeting to our wedding was 4 months and 1 day. From our first date.....probably a little less than 4 months. I'm pretty sure our first official date was a week after we met.
3. How long have you been married?
November 5, 1977-February 20, 2009. That would be 32 years, 3 months, 15 days, 13 hours and 44 minutes.
4. What does he do that surprises you?
Hmmmmm......He's absolutely amazing!!! He can fix anything, build anything, teach anything and SPILL anything.
5. What is your favorite feature of his?
His beautiful blue eyes and his hands. I love his hands. I could spot them sooooooo fast in a line up of hands.
6. What is his best quality?
Too many to specify for sure. Some that I notice alot are sense of humor, patience with babies and children (this has increased since our kids grew up), love of the gospel......
7. Does he have a nickname for you?
Mostly Dear. Sometimes I'm his 1st, 2nd or 3rd wife.
8. What is his favorite food?
Tough question. I'm going to put MILK as number 1. Then probably a good steak. He does like my homemade chicken and dumplings.
9. What is his favorite sport?
Football to watch. Back in his youth-basketball to play. Now, maybe a good game of golf.
10. When did you first kiss?
After our first official date!! He was shockingly fast!
11. What is your favorite thing to do as a couple?
Drive to new places and explore. Go to some good plays (Shakespear Festival).
12. Do you have children?
Yes. 5 fabulous kids. 4 fabulous spouses to those kids and 4 fabulous grandkids.
13. Does he have any hidden talents?
Not anymore. All his talents are exposed now. But I would say his hidden talent would be his apptitude to learn something new and do it. (Plumbing, tiling, staining, gas lines, roofing, cement work, wall texturing, accounting, teaching nursery, laying sprinkler lines, harmonica playing, piano, woodworking.................shall I go on?)
14. How old is he?
52 years, 11 months and 39 days. Exactly 2 months and 17 days YOUNGER than me.
15. What is his favorite music?
He likes a lot of country and he also really likes celtic women music. It's really very pretty and soothing to listen to.
16. What do you admire about him?
His complete honesty. He never wants anyone to think he has been dishonest in anything he does or says. And it seems like I can ask him for anything and he will do it. Of course, I never ask him to do something wrong. I think he loves me :o)
17. What's his favorite color?
BLUE!!!!!
18. Will he read this?
Someday
19. Who said "I love you" first?
Definately him!! He moved soooooo fast I didn't know what hit me.
20. Who do I tag?
Well..... Charisse already tagged all the daughters and daughter in laws so I will tag anyone else that reads this. If you are male(my sons) answer the questions about your wife.
