How I Met The Hubby

Sorry this is long...

1. Where did you meet?
Cal State Fullerton in our Statistics class the Spring Semester of 2002 - He got an A on the test that I got a C on...this is NOT typical of my overachiever nature...meeting someone that was cute and a bigger overachiever than I, was HIGHLY attractive

2. What was the first thought that went through your head when you met?
OVERACHIEVER, followed by cute guy, LOVE his blue eyes and dark hair

3. Do you remember what they were wearing?
Actually I think so...red and blud patterned dress shirt (that I later learned was from Old Navy when I started doing his laundry) with a navy sweater over it...PREPPY = HOT!

4. Where was the first time you kissed this person?
After our first date at my mom's house...sorry mom!

5. How did he ask you out?
On the premise of helping me study since I clearly needed the help

6. Where did you go for your first date?
TGI Fridays and then to play pool (which we both sucked at)...we only studied each other

7.How long did you know this person before you became a couple?
ummmmmmmm...less than a week? That's not quite right...We met at the beginning of the semester which was early February, I was working on breaking up with the current bf and officially dumped him after my 21st birthday trip to Vegas on St. Patricks Day. I believe our first date was a week after that and it was pretty much instant couplehood.

8. Has this person ever proposed to you?
I would hope so since we've been married for 3 1/2 years

9. Do you and this person have kids together?
Not yet

10. Have you ever broken the law with this person?
We speed, does that count?

11. When was the first time you realized that you liked this person?
See #1

12. Whats the most expensive thing this person has given you?
Wedding Ring

13. What is one thing he does that makes you a happy wife?
There are many: puts up with me :), challenges me intellectually, helps out around the house, drives me everywhere we go together, lets me sleep on all car rides lasting 15 mins or more, takes care of the dog and cat "presents" (he leaves the puke for me though)

14. What is the thing you do that gets on his nerves?
There are many: leaving every pair of shoes that I wear downstairs (I hate wearing shoes in the house and at least I've began putting them in a box), not putting a new roll of tp on the dispenser (I just sit it on top - he's accepted this and just does it for me), when I'm SUPER lazy and guilt him into doing chores because I have to work (then end up blogging), when I yell at him (the frequency has decreased since my surgery at least)

15. Will this person repost this?
Probably not, but he'll probably comment

I'd like to apologize to Jinjer for pretty much stealing her survey idea...but it was such a good one that I can't help posting these when I come across them now...plus they are great for when I want to procrastinate on writing appraisals. :)

Ok, I'm going to have to repost this on my blog. I think it's too long and too individualized to do as a comment.

However.... how weird is it that TGI Friday's plays into both of our "how we became a couple stories" AND my first date with the hubby was right around the same date as yours with Striker :)

Queen B said...

well, ok, since Jinjer did it as a comment in the minute that I was writing up my comment, here I go:

1. Where did you meet?
TGI Friday's :) we worked together

2. What was the first thought that went through your head when you met?
he is HOT

3. Do you remember what they were wearing?
yeah, he was wearing the smoking hot TGI Friday's kitchen wear... black/white checkered chef pants and a thin white shirt

4. Where was the first time you kissed this person?
in my car, often :) but I honestly don't remember the first kiss. how bad is that???

5. How did he ask you out?
he was somewhat helping me get over my ex who had just dumped me, and he says, "you know Chad would be jealous if you told him we'd gone out." To which I replied, "ok, when do you want to go?"

6. Where did you go for your first date?
met up at TGIF and then went to see a movie... Booty Call, to be exact. It was so romantic ;)

7.How long did you know this person before you became a couple?
there is some disagreement between him and I on this because he claims to remember me from his previous time working at TGIF, which was like a year before our first date (which = coupledom). I don't remember him from back then, just for about 2 months before our first date.

8. Has this person ever proposed to you?
yes... the first proposal was very romantic

2 puppies

his heart....awwwww :)

13. What is one thing he does that makes you a happy wife?
cooks for me. there are many others, but that one makes me so happy because he puts the secret ingredient into everything: Love :)

14. What is the thing you do that gets on his nerves?
"the" thing??? the biggest one is probably leaving dishes in the sink. Which I ONLY do if there are already some in there!

15. Will this person repost this?
no... "what blog?"

Kim Thomas said...

First: I love the warning message about the long post

Second: Great Love Story

Third: I am proud of the regular postings you are doing during appraisal time.

Jane said...

I was a Fridays girl too. No love stories there. Most romantic would be striping to the stripes.

Queen B you can explain

Paula said...

Freaky!!! I got another TGIFridays story!!! Craig and I knew each other for a few years before officially dating (he kept asking me to date, I said no). The night I finally accepted that we were, in fact, dating all those years, we had eaten dinner at TGIF!!!
