Hubby Tag
1. Where did you meet your husband?
Well, I was walking through Glenwood on one of my first Sundays there, and I heard a piano playing in one of the apartments. I was much more shy then than I am now, so I listened for a minute but didn’t go in. This was my first encounter with my sweet Brian.
2. How long did you date before you got married?
Well, our very first date was from the date box that our ward “date arrangers” organized. From that day, it was about a year and a half. But, from our first date, it was 11 months. From the time when we were “dating”, it was 10 months.
3. How long have you been married?
2 years, 9 months, 17 days
4. What does he do that surprises you?
Well, I can’t say everything….there are too many! Recently, though, he is doing such an amazing job balancing work, school, and taking care of me. He also retextured our bathroom wall—and it looks fabulous!
5. What is your favorite feature of his?
His giggles. He gets a little embarrassed, but I love them!
6. What is his best quality?
This isn’t a fair question—there are lots! I love his gentleness, his love of sharing the gospel, and the way he takes care of me.
7. Does he have a nickname for you?
Mostly “Dear”
8. What is his favorite food?
He really loves almost anything sweet, especially chocolate (Milky Ways and orange/raspberry chocolate sticks are some favorites). As for real food, he likes to avoid noodles and tomatoes.
9. What is his favorite sport?
Soccer!
10. When did you first kiss?
About a month and a half after our first date
11. What is your favorite thing to do as a couple?
We enjoy reading together, but it doesn’t really matter what we do if we’re together.
12. Do you have children?
Almost! He is 2 pounds, 15 inches, and loves to move around!
13. Does he have any hidden talents?
Teaching, careful attention to details, making people feel comfortable, an incredible memory of general conference talks, and many more!
14. How old is he?
36 days away from being 29 years old!
15. What is his favorite music?
Mostly, he likes to listen to books on tape in the car. He does like classical, country, and a mix of other music.
16. What do you admire about him?
I admire his ability to teach and explain gospel principles clearly. I love him!
17. What's his favorite color?
Probably blue.
18. Will he read this?
Absolutely
19. Who said "I love you" first?
Honestly, I know this is terrible, but I don’t remember a certain time or place. He probably said it first.
20. Who do I tag?
Anyone who reads this

Here are the Rules:
1) Post rules on your blog
2) Answer the six '8' items
3) Let each person know by leaving them a comment
8 Favorite Shows
1. Biggest Loser
2. Do we get any other shows?
8 Things I did Yesterday (well, actually today...)
1. Created a new seating chart
2. Entered student grades into the computer
3. Wrote math and language lesson plans for this week
4. Took out 4 bags of trash after cleaning up
5. Read about the 7th month of pregnancy--sounds like this is getting to be the hard part...
6. Ate a few too many chocolates
7. Wrote a letter to parents about a problem in our classroom--not a fun thing
8. Exercised
8 Things I'm looking forward to
1. Spring and Summer--like Heather, I would be perfectly content to never see snow close to me again.
2. A fully re-painted condo :)
3. Parent-teacher conferences--my last ones for a long time!
4. March 13th--when I go off-track again
5. The end of Brian's semester
6. My cousin's wedding--I won't be able to go, but I am super excited for her!
7. Being able to wear my normal clothes again.
8. May 13th!
8 Favorite Restaurants
1. Cafe Rio

5. Brick Oven
6. Taco Bell--a childhood favorite
7. Nearly any Mexican restaurant
8. Hometown Buffet/Golden Corral--mostly the dessert bar
8 Things on my wish list
1. I hope for a healthy baby.
2. I hope he doesn't come early. I want to finish up as much of my school year as I can, so I have enough sick days to cover my absence.
3. Sweets! Oh, sheesh! I have been craving anything and everything sweet in the last few weeks!
4. I want everything to be ready for Little One to come.
5. I wish for 26 happy students--we've been having major problems with student possessions "disappearing", and I wish it would stop.
6. I wish that all my students could read.
7. My little one would kick and punch a little more gently. :)
8. More clothes that fit. :)
Whew! That took longer than I expected.
