Questions about me and my manly man....

Saw this on a friends blog and thought it was cute so I wanted to post it so you guys knew a little bit more about me and my best friend - Jefferey Michael Hawkins!

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

Since April 2006

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

Well we have known each other since Junior High and High School but really didn't have much to do with each other. I had moved down to Salt Lake in 2006 and was searching on MySpace and came across Jeff's profile on a mutual friends' page and I emailed him. I about died when I realized it was him because I had a huge crush on him in high school. I ended up getting an email the next day and we started to talk. We talked for about two weeks and then agreed to meet up. The day I was supposed to meet him our internet went down and I couldn't get a hold of him. He made some other plans and went to dinner with some friends. I finally got on email and heard from him and we agreed to meet up for drinks. (Plus I had spent half the day getting ready and didn't want to waste the preparation haha). I met him at Iggy's in Fort Union and he was waiting for me outside. As soon as I saw him smile I knew I was in trouble. We had a couple drinks and talked for over 2 hours. I hugged him goodbye and we have been together ever since!  *Note that he almost was going to cancel but his friend Frank said this "what if this is your future wife? So he came*

3. If married, how long have you been married?

We have been married since June 6 2009

4. If you are married, where did you get married at? Big or small wedding?

We got married at a beautiful park in Sandy. It was up against the mountain and it was the backdrop of our wedding. It wasn't too big of a wedding we had a super quick ceremony - pictures - and a reception. It was under 100 people.

5. Do you have any nicknames that you call one another?

We have a lot of nicknames. He calls me his little Foosch a lot and I call him hun but we seriously have a ton of names.

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

1. I love that he makes me feel like I'm worth something. I had a hard time finding a guy that wasn't intimidated by me and Jeff just makes me feel like I deserve to be loved.
2. I love that even though he didn't think he wanted kids - he is such a good dad. Our boys are obsessed with their dad and he is so good with them. It makes my heart melt when he is doing stuff with them.
3. I love that he makes me want to be a better person. He has really made an impact on my life and I would be completely lost without him.

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

Well I found out that he was going to propose to me in Oakland at the Raiders game when we went but he didn't want to get caught with the ring through the airport. So on the day before my birthday I had gotten home from work and he went outside to get the present I had saw that was left. He came in - tossed me the present and I was in the kitchen. When I went to walk out he was down on one knee and asked me to marry him. This was on my 30th birthday. It seriously was the best birthday present I have ever received!!!

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

He is a flowers guy and a surprise gift guy. He doesn't need an occasion to get me something though he does it all the time randomly to surprise me.

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

Oh definitely a movie and relaxation kind of girl. But dinner on a beach sounds so romantic to me I would love to do that one day. Maybe when he takes me to Hawaii. :D

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

I can't wait til we can take a trip alone without kids! I have always wanted to go to Hawaii and he has promised me we will go in the future.

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

Don't sweat the small stuff. When you fight just get over it as soon as you can and don't continue the argument. Half the time it was over something stupid anyways. Always communicate even if it's about something little. Always keep the lines of communication open and learn to be on the same page. It surprises me how much Jeff and I are on the same page. We always are thinking the same thing at the same time and we both have the same ideas when it comes to raising our kids - etc....

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

I will hold on to him forever!
