New Years 2008
1. How long have you and your significant other been together?We have been on and off for 4 years
2. How did you meet? {What's your "love" story?}
Back in 2007, I was actually dating one of H's friends Andrew so I knew H from him. January 2008 a friend of ours was getting married and I was going to go alone since I was originally invited to go with Andrew. H had asked me if I would like to go with him to the wedding since we were both going alone. I agreed and we went together as friends. At the wedding, H was buying me drinks and treating me like a princess but I was just having fun with my friends and dancing the night away. After the wedding was over, H invited me to his house so I didn't have to drive all the way home (I lived about an hour away from him, so the wedding was about 1hr and 30 mins away) but I just went home. After that, we spent many nights talking on the phone and hanging out at his place. Then came Valentine's Day. I was working at Chili's at the time and requested the busiest night of the year off because H wanted to take me out and he told me I had no choice. He took me to a fancy restaurant with his boss and his wife, who are our family friends that were in our wedding. He had bought me a gorgeous gold necklace with a heart on it and a matching gold bracelet. I was in shock. We were casually dating, not in a serious relationship. Where had this guy been my whole life? I used to spend countless nights at his place, late after working and he would rub my back and hold me tight. Not once, did he ever try to do anything. Once again, I was in shock. I had never met a guy like this before. After a few months, we went our separate ways as he went back to traveling at work (we work in the amusement business) and I didn't want to join him (a few months later, I quit my job and went back out though). I dated a little bit but found myself always thinking of H. Once he got a new girlfriend and I was jealous, I knew I had more feelings for him than I thought. But I was dating someone else and so was he. I didn't want to be that girl so I stayed in my relationship. H was pretty much doing the same thing with his girlfriend. He was unhappy but stayed with her. When my boyfriend dumped me, I went to H. He was asleep in bed and I knocked on his door and walked in. As he was about to get angry that someone just barged through his door I burst into tears. He immediately grabbed me and held me in his bed. I slept on his couch that night. H had broken up with his girlfriend and a few weeks later, we decided to give it another try. September 11, 2008 we made it official {How awkward that would be the date}. We had some more ups and downs throughout those years but we made it out strong. I could never see myself with anyone other than H. He's my rock and I'm so glad we always kept trying to make it work even when things got tough.

H's birthday dinner 2011
6. Name 3 things you love most about your honey.
1. His sense of humor. He is such a goofball but it's a side of him that I don't think many people have seen so I appreciate it a lot because I have seen it. He's a child at heart and he makes me smile on a daily basis. 2. His love for me. This sounds kind of selfish but I love the love and attention he gives to me. It's not a one way street in anyway though, but he will do anything for me and I love that. He will go the extra mile just to make me smile and you don't find that every day. 3. His kind heart. He will do things for people, even though they've taken advantage of him before. I can't do that so easily so it's good to see the kindness in him.
7. Tell us how he proposed? Or your ideal proposal?
We had talked about getting married before we got engaged so it was no surprise. It was probably not the most romantic thing in the world but it fits us and our life. On our offical one year dating anniversary we were out shopping at the mall and he sent me in one store as he went to the jewelry store. I thought to myself, "is he doing what I think he is?" He had no bags when he left so I figured he was just looking and getting an idea of prices or something. We went home and as we were driving, he said he bought a ring but I couldn't have it because it was getting sized. I was a little upset because I was hoping to finally get a ring but I knew it was coming so I was happy about that. We had dinner and were sitting on the couch and he kept joking with me asking me to marry him. After about the 4th time, he rolled off the couch and got on his knee and pulled out the most gorgeous ring and asked again. Of course, I said yes :)
8. Is he a flowers and teddy bear kind of guy for v-day, or strawberries, champagne, and rose petals?
He always gets me flowers for Valentine's Day and usually the sweetest cards, which are my favorite.
9. Are you a sunset dinner on the beach kind of girl, or pop a movie in and relax on the couch?
Definitely a movie in on the couch. That's our everyday life and we enjoy it.
10. Tell us one thing you'd like to do with your significant one day. If you could do anything? Go anywhere?
I would like to travel the world with him and start a family.
11. Tell us what you plan on doing on this Valentine's Day.
No plans yet, we just got back from vacation so that's not really on the mind yet.
12. Are you asking for anything this Valentine's day?
A pandora charm would be nice but I never ask for anything.
13. Give us one piece of advice of keeping a relationship strong and full of love.
Keep loving each other through the bad times. They only make you stronger. If you can make it through the bad times, you can make it through anything.
14. Show us a picture of what love means to you.
