PICTURE TAG

i got tagged a couple of weeks ago with this one. you are supposed to pick the 4th picture in the 4th folder on your computer. here goes, drum roll please . . .

this one is from 2 christmases ago - wow, time flies by! this is my younger brother, andrew, and his daughter jane. this was a christmas that weston and i were going to stay in our own apartment and have our own little christmas. plans changed on the 23rd of december when i got stuck in monroe from a snowstorm and, rather than have me drive back to utah county in the storm, weston decided to drive to monroe instead with our christmas gifts in tow. what a good husband i have :) it was a great christmas and it was so fun to spend it with andrew, sarah, jane, and aunt winnie, along with both of our families that live there.

HUSBAND TAG

Where we met: high school. the first time i remember seeing weston was on a marching band trip to a st. george parade. i saw him on the bus and the first thing i noticed were his shoes (kind of a thing for me). we were both wearing black converse one stars but his were the mids :) i thought he was hot, even as a freshman :) we re-met a couple of years later and that's when we became friends.

How long we dated before we got hitched: as the "most broken-up couple" my mother in law knows, it really depends on what you count. we were kind of that couple that's always a couple. so, in total, we dated for a grand total of 8 years before getting married.

How long have we been married: it will be five years in june

What's my favorite feature about him: his eyes - they are just KIND and i love them

What's my favorite quality about him: he is GOOD. my mom has always told me she was grateful for him (even when we were dating) because he was always good to me, and for me. that has always stuck with me.

What's his nickname for me: love.

His favorite color: red? black? i don't know that he has a favorite color. but he is color-blind, so what does a favorite color really mean? jk - he's not totally color-blind but he definitely struggles with browns and greens :)

His favorite food: anything fried? he has the best metabolism you've ever seen - totally unfair. he loves gummy candy, that's for sure. he loves seafood and steak. and i think his favorite food group would have to be soda :)

His favorite sport: skateboarding. he loves skating - i think it's his one true love (besides myself and kate, of course). he loves to snowboard as well. weston was the total athlete in school - he played everything at one point or another. we were in a small school, so you could participate in several sports. football games were fun and he was a captain, which means he was totally hot :) , but my favorite sport to watch him play has always been baseball.

Who said the L word first: i whispered in his ear and said, "i think i'm falling for you" so technically, i guess i didn't say the L word first :) i guess that would be him - he said (a week or so later) "i think i'm falling in love with you"

First kiss, when and where: first kiss - ahh the memory :) late november 1996, my parents basement on the white couch.

Favorite couple thing to do: we love golf. we love movies. we love talking all night long. i think just spending time together (without his cell phone) :)

How many kids: we have 1, if you don't know that, you have clearly never read this blog!

His hidden talent: not quite hidden - his major talent is his photography. hidden talent? his mad jerry-rigging skills. he can rig or fix anything his own way and make it work better than my way, or even the more traditional way. he can also cook a lot better than me!

His age: 28

His favorite music: you name it. i think he would even like country music if it were mashed up with the right beats and other music. he is a lover of music, that's for sure. i think he finds at least 1 new band or album (mashups) EVERY SINGLE DAY. the music beat is his heartbeat.

What I admire most about him: he has a lot of integrity. he knows what is right and he knows that is what he needs to do. he really knows what he believes. he is a good man.

His favorite pastimes: photography. music (finding it and listening to it live). spending time with his daughter and me. SLEEPING!!!

Will he read this: absolutely

i tag sarah, cynthia, jill, kristi (if you haven't already done it), rachel, and carmen (carmen, you HAVE to do this!)
