2. How did you meet? {What's your "love" story?}
We met when I started working at the same grocery store he was working at. I thought he was really cute and nice. He was a cashier and I started off as a bagger. I tried to bag for him as much as I could and I finally just told someone I liked him so he would get the damn hint. He finally asked for my phone number and we went out on our first date the next day (which was horrible).

3. If married, how long have you been married? If not, is this the guy you hope to marry? {do tell}

4. If you are married, where did you get married at? Big or small wedding? If not, where would you like to get married? And will it be big or small?
It was a medium size wedding. I had planned on a small one, but we kept adding more people. We were married outside in a gazebo at a place called Sun Valley Resorts. It's sort of a tradition in my family. 3 of my cousins have been married there, too.

5. Do you have any nick-names that you call one another? Do share!
Not really. We call each other sweetie and honey and babe, but nothing unique.

6. Name 3 things you love most about your honey.
He's smart, he's funny and he makes me feel beautiful. I could weigh 300 pounds and he would announce to the world I am the most beautiful woman in the world. And he would men it.

7. Tell us how he proposed? Or your ideal proposal?
I knew he was going to propose. I am not big on surprises at all. But it was romantic. We went out to dinner and after that we went to this beautiful lake near our house and he asked me to marry him. 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?
Both!!

9. Are you a sunset dinner on the beach kind of girl, or pop a movie in and relax on the couch?
I like to stay home and watch a movie on the couch, but I do like a sunset dinner now and again.

10. Tell us one thing you'd like to do with your significant one day. If you could do anything? Go anywhere?

11. Tell us what you plan on doing on this Valentine's Day.
It's a good thing we didn't make dinner plans this year because I'm sick. But I do have a pot roast cooking the crock pot and we're going to spend time together at home.

Very cute! Wow 19 years is a long time. We've had 16 years together and it's rare to find a blogger who can top that. He's a smart guy!
