Our love story

This kind of love blog linked up with From Mrs. to Mama.  I thought I would join in.  

1. How long have you and your significant other been together?

Since May 23, 2003 so 9 years this May.

2. How did you meet? {What's your "love" story?}

We knew of each other growing up.  We grew up about a mile away from each other.  Might have even rode the bus together a time or 2.  Not sure??  He banked with Regions and would come through the drive thru.  His sister came through one day and asked if I was married.  I said no and then she said "my brother thinks your pretty"  I was going through a super hard time and it made my heart smile!  I gave her receipt and said thanks.  The next week she came through again and I said do you know I have a baby?  I can't remember what she said, but I slipped her my number with her receipt and did not know how he would feel about me having a baby and all so I was not sure if he would call me.  Well he called that Monday night and asked me out for Friday!  We went to Texas Road house and a movie.  After the movie he drove me to see his land he owned and then we went back to my place.  He stayed till 2 am!  

3. If married, how long have you been married? If not, is this the guy you hope to marry? {do tell}

This coming September will be 8 years.  So about 7 1/2 years!

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 had a very small wedding in Greer, SC at the Candleberry Inn.  

5. Do you have any nick-names that you call one another? Do share!

not really

6. Name 3 things you love most about your honey.

#1  He is a super hard working man.

#2 He is the best dad in the world.  

#3  He goes to church with us.

7. Tell us how he proposed? Or your ideal proposal?

Richard Russell Scenic Hwy!  

8. Is he a flowers and teddy bear kind of guy for v-day, or strawberries, champagne, and rose petals?

He use to be a flowers guy and since I am not really a flowers girl he stopped when I told him to.  Its a waste of money and I would rather get new clothes, eat out or get my nails done.

9. Are you a sunset dinner on the beach kind of girl, or pop a movie in and relax on the couch?

pop in a movie and relax on the couch!

10. Tell us one thing you'd like to do with your significant one day. If you could do anything? Go anywhere?

Well we have been to Vegas, Mexico and the Bahamas and Disney and I am not really a traveler so I don't really no where I would want to go.  Bart LOVES to travel and he wants to finish seeing the 7 wonders.  If I had to pick from one of those I guess it would be the Niagara Falls.  If we could do anything?................not sure about that one either?  We have an amazing family, I get to stay at home.  

11. Tell us what you plan on doing on this Valentine's Day.

Well I am going to bible study!  Its Beth Moore "Measureless Love"  That is perfect for Vday!!

12. Are you asking for anything this Valentine's day?

Not really.  Bart wants a label machine for his shop so we are going to get that.  I might get my nails done??

13. Give us one piece of advice of keeping a relationship strong and full of love.

I have 2.  Have God in your relationship and communication.

14.  Show us a picture of what love means to you.
