14 Questions about my Other Half

 I saw a fellow facebooker post these questions in a status and versus flooding people's feed with my answers, I thought I would post a blog. Plus, Valentine's Day is around the corner, so it's perfect timing.

As the title suggestions- 14 questions about my other half. Not still questions either. Plus, some throwback pictures?!

1. Where did you meet your other half?
 We met through mutual friends who were dating at the time. I lived with my friend, and her boyfriend lived in the same complex.

2. How long have you been with your significant other?
Just shy of 8 years. Holy smoke- it's hard to believe that!
 
3. If you're married, when did you say " I do"?
September 26, 2009. Originally, we wanted our anniversary to be 09/09/2009, but it was on a week day, and no one goes to a wedding on a week day.

4. What song did you walk down the aisle to?
Face palm.  Okay... it was the chorus to a song. I HAD to be different. No, I didn't want the typical bridal march.

5. Do you have any children yet?
Well, no. Five years of heartache and sadness. We do have fur-children though!

6. What's your favorite thing about your other half?
His ability to make me laugh. (Cheesy answer, right?) No matter how upset, angry, or disappointed Joe can ALWAYS make me laugh. I'm convinced he has an arsenal of memes and pictures saved on his phone to send for every occasion.


7. Were you and your other half high school sweethearts?
Nope. We didn't even know each other existed then.

8. Where was your first date?
This question is debatable. I can tell you about my "assumed" first date. Joe calls one day and says,"I have two tickets to the Dark Knight premiere. Would you like to go?" Sure! He picks me up in his car, and we head towards the movie. Well, he passes the turn to go towards the interstate. I was confused. "Oh yeah. We have to pick up Calep." Okay, whatever. This will be fine.We get to the movies where Joe meets up with at least 5 of his other guy friends. I was even more confused. Talk about awkward.

I dug out some oldddd pictures just for you. This was a selfie from our "first date"

9. How long were you dating before you said "I love you"?
I honestly don't remember. Do you know in the movies where people just say it without realizing it, and then ask each other if that just happened? Well, that's how our's worked out.

10. How long were you dating your other half before he/she proposed?
First off- NO JUDGING. Another typical movie plot- we just KNEW we were THE ONEs to complete each other. We were together roughly 6 months before he proposed.


11. Where is your favorite place you have traveled with your other half?
Disclaimer- Joe and I have NEVER been on vacation together. Not a real vacation. We plan to change that this year with discussions of visiting DC and NY.



12. How do you and your other half usually spend Valentine's Day?
We are both homebodies. We are entirely content with binging on Netflix, playing games, and eating a home cooked meal. 

13. What does your favorite 'date night' consist of?
Usually a movie and possible dinner.

14. What is the best gift you have received from your other?
The gift of unconditional love and respect. I will spare you the mushy, gushy details.

Take a minute and answer these questions about your other half! I promise it will make you smile!

Future Developments will Develop.

It's a rare occasion when I look at Joe and suggest eating Chinese food. Mostly because, I am not a huge Chinese food fan. I stick to sweet and sour chicken, white rice, and a teriyaki veggie mix off the grill. Needless to say, Joe was more than willing to go eat Chinese Sunday before the syllable Chi- left my mouth, and we invited our bestie Calep along for the trip.

We indulged ourselves in a feast of Chinese food the only way to eat it- buffet style. I grabbed my usual, and the boys were more adventurous. Seafood salad, squishy crab bakes, crème puffs, not so red strawberries, and a barrage of noodles. After bellies were full and plates stacked high, as every Chinese dinner, we received our fortune cookies. The anticipation of tearing apart the wrapper snapping the cookie in half, and finally seeing what your future may (most likely may not) hold...

 

 

I was not overly excited about my fortune. It seemed pretty obvious to me. The boys were equally disappointed in theirs. Joe, with a serious face, said... Fortune cookies aren't even fortune cookies anymore. They're "advice" cookies. And he's right. There's no fortune in the above. I wouldn't even classify it as advice. It's a general statement. I think my most memorable fortune I've had is... "If you ate the buffet, you are $6.99 poorer."

 

 Had there not been the amazingly tasty jello, I would have been disappointed.

 

 

For Sunday... I'll give you a peek at the OOTD (Outfit Of The Day).

 

This bright, tribal print maxi is from Wal-Mart last season. Yes, I said Wal-Mart! I paid a mere $8 for the dress. Which also came with a braided belt. Score!

The shoes were a Target score years ago! They were out of the little girls section. (Hey... if the shoe fits, wear it) Find kicks like these here: Beaded Boho Sandal

 

I am not a master of selfies, and often times only capture my feet. You will learn I have a small obsession with shoes.

 

Recapping Sunday, Winding down from Monday, and lots of love until next time!
