Before I begin...White Robin (mjd) and Mrs. S, I'm giving your questions a lot of thought, and I'm still thinking. You just had to make me think, didn't you? :)
So, up next, all about my hubby!
silly hily asked: How did you and your husband meet?
I worked at Silver Dollar City, in Branson, Missouri, all through high school and college. One day at work, right after I'd graduated high school, a girl-friend I worked with kept bugging me about some 'cute guy' that worked at the Lost River ride (she and I worked in Foods). It took me weeks to figure out who she was talking about, but I finally met him.
I maintain that he was originally hitting on my friend and discovered me in the process, but he insists it was ME he had his eye on from the start (and that is a good thing to say, husband).
We started chatting on breaks, and going to parties to see each other after work. I gave him free caramel apples, and he let me cut to the front of the line at the Lost River. The rest is history!
We dated for six years before we married, and I actually gave him an ultimatum - "Propose or I'm done". Maybe not the nicest thing to do, but you know what? He did propose (the night before the "cutoff date"), and we've been married for 6 and a half years, and we have been really happy together.
Um, hubby was a bit of a player in our dating days, so we have a bit of an illustrious past...but THAT is another BLOG in itself. But these days, he has settled down. Thank god.
silly hily also said: Name a petty thing your husband does that drives you crazy the most.
Oh dear. Just one? Other than his lack of senses of smell and taste?
He does a thing with the dishes that DRIVES ME BONKERS. He is so sweet, and after I've left the kitchen counters in disarray with dirty dishes, he will take it upon himself to clean it up while I watch Sex and the City reruns (Silly Hily! I do watch it...and I can't wait to answer the "which girl are you?" question tomorrow!).
BUT - he will wipe the counters, load and start the dishwasher, and then he will EVER SO NEATLY rinse and STACK the dishes that we handwash. So the kitchen is NOT totally clean. There is a HUGE, NEAT, STACK of dirty dishes next to the sink, waiting for me to wash. Grrr. If you're going to clean the kitchen, CLEAN THE DAMN KITCHEN!
And I must add one more. He breathes heavy. OMG, it makes me insane. Not all the time, mind you, but like when we're really into a TV show, relaxing, and then there is a quiet part, and all of a sudden, *insert extremely loud, heavy, phone stalker breathing* here, and I say, "Husband! Stop breathing so loud!", and he says, "I'm NOT!" and then we have to argue about it for awhile.
the keeper of cheerios asked: What do you love most about your husband?
I love that he is handsome (okay, HOT!).
I love that he is a great father, meaning he absolutely adores his children, participates in disciplining them, and loves to spend time playing with them and teaching them things (he is an engineer working in the field of wastewater, so he recently taught our son all about treatment plants and water cycles).
He has been changing diapers, giving baths, and feeding the kids from day one, without complaint ("I AM their dad...why WOULDN'T I do those things?"). All I know is, a lot of husbands DON'T. But not mine, and don't say, "lucky you"...it's not lucky, it's why I MARRIED him!
But what I love most is how he PUTS UP WITH ME. I am nuts - obsessive, control freak-ish, I snap for no reason, I have a tendency to throw temper tantrums, I have no patience, and I probably need to be medicated - in short, not an easy person to love and live with.
But he very, very rarely brings up those not so pretty traits. He actually balances me out quite well. He takes good care of me, rubs my feet whenever I ask (which is often), and picks up the ball when I've dropped it (which is also often). And best of all, he has never made a comment about my battle with my weight, other than to encourage me (he even tells me he LIKES my tummy, and I don't care if he's lying).
What a guy.
Tune in tomorrow for more answers! Thank you all from saving me from having to deal with my *writer's block*!
P.S. I totally had all these cute pictures of the hubby to post, but once again, Blogger is being a #$%$#. Maybe tomorrow...

Your husband sounds like a very special person. He is hot, is a great father, and takes care of you. Those are great answers to great questions. I love to hear how couples met and fell in love.
AWWWWWWW! I wish my hubby would change diapers. He will, but only if they are only wet. No poopy for him. Ah, well. I knew that when I married him. He does everything else, though. :)
awww... this may sound silly, but it makes me feel good to read about women who love their husbands. of course they always have those little idiosyncracies that drive us up the wall, but we know when we've got a good one. i love all the same things you mentioned about manny. so often, especially at work, all i hear is women bitching about their lazy, ungrateful husbands... i take secret delight in the fact that i don't need to join in those conversations.
Can I join the chorus and say AWWWWW?! Your husband sounds like a great guy. I'm with MJD - I love to read how people met and fell in love.
And yes, pictures. Post pictures!!
I liked that post. Too many people spend too much time complaining about their men and not enough saying the good things about them, and I am glad you're not one of them.
And I TOTALLY agree with the "Don't tell me I'm lucky - that's why I married him!" part (only about MY husband in my case, not yours! lol)
Our husbands sound a lot alike. Mine can drive me crazy sometimes but so can everyone else. When it comes down to it thought, I couldn't have asked for a better husband or father. Well, except I guess if I had to do it over again I would pick one that I don't have to feed grapes to. (kidding)
Yay, SATC character!!!!
My husband says, "Maybe this blogging thing isn't so annoying after all." Hehehe! Thanks, bloggers!
Lucy, I'm going to have to think on that question...
Cpa mom, this is TOO funny.
I didn't give Luke an ultimatum date, per se, but after we were living together and had been dating for almost four and a half years, I basically asked him what the hell he was waiting for. I knew he loved me and would take wonderful care of me, but I wasn't willing to wait another four and a half years to make it official. It's nice to hear other women who "put their foot down."
Also, here some questions of my own:
- When it comes to raising your kids, which rules/parenting methods do you hold as non-negotiable?
- What's the most difficult problem you and your husband have had to overcome (in dating or marriage)?
- Under what circumstances did you lose your virginity? How did you feel about it afterwards?
