A tag I couldn't ignore


Shelley tagged me and I just couldn't ignore it.


Where did you meet? We met while on our missions in Thailand. Our houses were right next door to each other and I used to cut down coconuts and give them to her. I would also stand at the fence between our houses and beg her and her companion to make us brownies.

How long did you date before you were married? We got home from Thailand in February, started dating in April, engaged in June and married in August ( almost 6 months to the day from getting home from our missions).


How long have you been married? 10 years


What is your favorite feature of hers? Her cute little hands.


What is your favorite quality of hers? She is so kind and such a peacemaker. She never gets into an argument (a very good thing for me) and is always willing to pitch in and help.


Does she have a nickname for you? :-)


Does she have a favorite color? Earth-tones (brown, grey, greens), just look in her closet.


What is her favorite food? Definitely Thai food, especially when I make it for her.

What is her favorite sport? Soccer and chasing the kids.


When and where was your first kiss? On her front porch. She was so sick with a cold and really just wanted to go to bed, but she humored me and gave me a kiss anyway.


What is your favorite thing to do as a couple? Traveling and just spending time together. Sadly, when we have time away from the kids we usually end up at Walmart just walking around.


Do you have any children? 4, Samantha, Braden, Ethan, and Jacob.

Does she have a hidden talent? Sewing with hot glue. For Sami's first Halloween, April made her a cute flower outfit complete with a bonnet covered in flowers and petals for her neck and hands. She held it all together with hot glue. Ironically, she is now the Relief Society sewing specialist.


How old is she? 32, I am 1 year and 3 months younger than her, but it seems like more!


Who said I love you first? Me


What is her favorite type of music? Unfortunately, country. Also a strange love of New Kids on the Block.


What do you admire most about her? Everyone loves her. No matter who we meet or what we are doing everyone loves being her friend and spending time with her, an enviable quality.


I tag Mike & Heather, Eric and Matt.


-Brad

I wasn't sure if you'd bow to peer pressure or not! I'm glad you did! Just laughed at the hot glue sewing! My sister is in love with NKOTB, too...and it's left me as confused as you!

It is true about the arguing. I have tried to lure her into a few myself and nothing. Also, I love how she thinks she is being sooo mean and cranky when in reality she is not.

Brad, I guess I am stuck with you as family, but as long as you are here I am glad that you brought April along. Our lives just wouldn't be the same!
