In honor of Valentine's Day, I am linking up with Mrs. Merry Mobley to share our love story!
I LOVE YOU, NJ!
1. How long have you and your significant other been together?
We have been together since September 2006 -- almost 6 years!
2. How did you meet? {What's your "love" story?}
We met at the local community college and our love flourished! We initially did not like one another (me a goody-too-shoe, and he a unbridled guy), but we came to appreciate one another more and more. We both transferred to NCSU and completed our degrees there. He took a year off and joined the NAVY and was away for 8 months. We prevailed through those challenges. After four years together, he popped the question in our hometown over Spring break, and I said "yes"! We were married on July 16 of last year, and have been happily married since then! He is now serving in a deployment to Afghanistan, but we are finding that our love is just continually growing and strengthening.
3. If married, how long have you been married? If not, is this the guy you hope to marry? {do tell}
7 months a week from Thursday
4. If you are married, where did you get married at? Big or small wedding?
Our wedding was pretty large -- 200/215 sweet friends and family came to celebrate with us! It was one of the best nights of my life!
5. Do you have any nick-names that you call one another? Do share!
NJ, Baby, Babylove, Bub, PapaGoose/MamaGoose
6. Name 3 things you love most about your honey.
His courage and love for the great United States of A (not to mention the WOLFPACK)!
His support and love of me and all my dreams (no matter how absurd they may be)
His humor and ability to make me laugh even when I'm feeling blue
7. Tell us how he proposed? Or your ideal proposal?
He proposed in our hometown, beside a lake, after a great dinner together and romantic motorcycle ride. He asked me to marry him while we were sitting side by side, which greatly represents our relationship -- always taking things on together in stride.
8. Is he a flowers and teddy bear kind of guy for v-day, or strawberries,champagne, and rose petals?
He is more of a great date night for V-day, unless he's away for military stuff -- then he sends flowers!
9. Are you a sunset dinner on the beach kind of girl, or pop a movie in and relax on the couch?
pop a movie in and relax on the couch (or travel to a new place)
10. Tell us one thing you'd like to do with your significant one day. If you could do anything? Go anywhere?
Go to Italy together. Have kids. Travel around the world.
11. Tell us what you plan on doing on this Valentine's Day.
This V-day will be a little different for us, as he will be in Afghanistan. I plan on celebrating the lovey day with my third graders, sending him lots of love in his care package, and hopefully Skyping that night.
12. Are you asking for anything this Valentine's day?
a great conversation, continual love and support, and to be able to see the face of my husband :)
13. Give us one piece of advice of keeping a relationship strong and full of love.
Communication helps keep your relationship strong, open, and full of love. Even in the toughest situations, talking helps you understand where each other are, as well as allow them to know you care and love them no matter what you're going through. Communicating allows the other person to know you value them, and you want to support and love them through every season of your life.
14. Show us a picture of what love means to you.
