My First Blog Post!

I have been following other mil-spouse blogs for a few months now and have been meaning to start one myself. So here it goes...

I really have no idea how to start my blog so I am borrowing a questionnaire from ACUs and ABCs.

Questions About Us:

1. When and how did you meet?

We actually met at a bar! He was in my hometown for a class at Fort Gordon and was hanging out with friends at a popular bar/nightclub. I was walking by with a friend of mine when he asked us to have a drink with him and his friend. We did and chatted for a bit before excusing ourselves to socialize. He found me later that night to ask for my number and even though I was weary of him being a soldier, I gave it to him. He text me later that night to make sure I got home ok and to ask me on a date the next weekend. The rest is history!

2. How long have you been together?

 Not very long at all but when you know, you know! We met August 21, 2010 and got married October 5, 2010.

3. Did you kiss on your first date?

I guess technically we kissed before our first date. LOL. I went to a baseball game in town with some friends the night before our "real" first date and he met me there. My friends left early, so he offered to drive me home so I could hang out with him and his friends a little longer. When he dropped me off, we kissed.

4. What attracted you to each other?

He has very deep and kind eyes, a sweet smile, and dimples that make my heart melt! He would probably say the thing that attracted him to me the first night we met was the pink dress I was wearing! LOL. He noticed me in the parking lot before even going inside! :)

5. What's the sweetest thing they've done for you?

The second week after we met I got a REALLY bad cold. I didn't leave my bed for days. He text me and asked if I liked surprises. I said, "I am female, of course I do!" He showed up on my door step a little later with a big container of chicken noodle soup and a HUGE bag of "feel better" stuff including: two boxes of dayquil, two boxes of nyquil, a waterless Vicks Vaporizor, refills for the vaporizor, and every flavor of Halls cough drops they had! It was SO sweet and thoughful!

6. Where's the farthest place from home that you've been together?

A cruise to the Bahamas for our honeymoon.

7. What's the last thing they bought you?

Dinner at Outback and he took me to a movie for our last "date night" before I had to come back to Augusta for a few weeks. I have to take care of things before the movers come to get my stuff to ship to Italy.

8. Where was your last kiss?

The Tampa airport before I flew back home.

9. When you're not with each other, what do you miss the most?

I miss talking to him. I miss laughing with him. I miss snuggling with him. I miss his dimples. I miss his kisses and hugs. I miss falling asleep and waking up next to him.

10. What's one of your favorite memories with them?

Our first date and our wedding. I had to pick two.
