Husband Tag (Kell)

I got tagged by my sister, so here is a little information about my hubby.

1- Where did you meet? We met in college. I heard about hubby before I met him. The first day I moved into a new apartment for summer, my new roommates and I all sat on the floor in one of the back bedrooms and shared all the juicy details on our latest crushes. One of my roommates had liked hubby for a very long time, and so the first time I met him (at FHE), although I thought he was incredibly good looking, I knew he was completely off limits (We even elected my roommate to be MOM and hubby to be DAD of our group). Two weeks later, another roommate moved in and she had also had a crush on hubby for a long time. Thankfully, the one I actually cared about moved out halfway through the summer, and the other roommate moved on to many other guys. We got to know each other, and the rest is history.

2- How long did you date before you got married? 10 months.

3- How long have you been married? 12 years.

4- What does he do that surprises you? I guess it doesn't surprise me anymore, but my husband is brilliant!! I'm not just saying that because I am biased, he has the IQ score to prove it. He is such a goofball. Most of his brainpower goes into making clever jokes, or coming up with new and unusual words to songs. He never thought he was all that smart, and he was even put into resource classes when he was younger. I don't think he even knew how brilliant he was. He is so goofy (see above picture) and adorable it comes as a shock to most people. I definitely got the whole package.

5- What is your favorite feature of his? I love his hair. Everyone loves his hair. It is gorgeous and curly. Everywhere we go, people comment on it. His co-workers have told me that they hold daily discussions about it. He, of course, is very embarrassed by it.

6- What is your favorite quality of his? I love that he is such a great father. He is definitely the favorite parent. He often will just stop whatever he is doing and tell me what fantastic kids we have. He is fun, and loving and our home is always a happier place when he is home. His mom raised one of the kindest most compassionate families I have ever met.

7- Does he have a nickname for you? He calls me babe. I love it! It makes me feel special.

8- What is his favorite color? When you ask him this question, he struggles to come up with one. Often it will change. I think his favorite color most of the time is Orange. He grew up in the desert, and he loves the browns, rusts, and oranges of the desert. I personally hate orange. I was trying to be kind, an find an orange that I could live with to paint the bedroom. I have not been able to do it. Our bedroom is still unpainted.

9- What is his favorite food? I really don't know. He likes almost everything, but he is also picky about things. He will eat whatever I put in front of him, but he rarely really loves it. He has worked in restaurants, and is a fantastic cook. I know he appreciates eating whatever he doesn't have to cook (He is definitely the cook here) but I think he likes experimenting to get just the flavor he likes. Whenever we go to a restaurant, he almost always orders something he has never tried before. I always order the same thing, and he always makes fun of me.

10- What is his favorite sport? I don't know. We had a volleyball court at our apartment when we were dating, and we had a lot of fun playing. He will watch football, but it definitely isn't an obsession. He is left handed, so many sports didn't come as easily for him. We had a ton of fun watching the Arizona Diamondbacks win the world series a few years ago, and we have also followed the Utah Jazz.

11- When and where was your first kiss? End of August 1995. My sister was visiting me, and Jayson and I had been flirting all night. I told my sister to go take a walk so we could make out in the apartment. She still hasn't forgiven me. (Sorry Mimi!)

12- What is your favorite thing to do as a couple? This is so lame, but we love to watch TV and movies together. We have a couple of series that we follow. Hubby was gone for a week, and I tried to watch The Office and it just wasn't as funny without him. We have a Netflix account, and we go through movies pretty quickly. We definitely get our moneys worth.

13- Do you have any children? Yep, we have 4.

14- Does he have a hidden talent? He can create amazing new witty lyrics to any song. It always rhymes, and will make you laugh almost every time. At the end of my first pregnancy, I was huge, two weeks overdue, and annoyed by everything. He was always coming up with new songs, and I was always wishing he would stop. My mom came out to help us, and she kept pointing out how funny his songs were. Once I stopped being annoyed, I was pretty amazed. He also has an amazing voice!

15- How old is he? 35, almost 36

16- Who said I love you first? I think he did, he thinks I did. When we first started dating, I wasn't expecting it to last very long. Hubby was kind of known for going through a lot of women quickly. I tried to keep it really casual, and I would often ask myself if I loved him, and I would always answer that I didn't. One day, I realized that I couldn't say I didn't love him anymore. I couldn't necessarily say that I did, but I couldn't say that I didn't. I told him, and he counts that as me saying it first. He actually said the words, "I love you," first.

17- What is his favorite type of music? According to his iTunes, it is Alternative, Pop, and Rock. Of course they classify U2, Erasure, and Depeche Mode as Rock.

18- What do you admire most about him? His ability to love unconditionally.

19- Do you think he will read this? Eventually. He rarely reads my blog.

I tag Nicole.
