As I was blog-stalking (a girl's got to catch up on everyone's blogs sometime) this morning, I found that I had been tagged in a "get-to-know-your-hubby" sort of way because, lets face it, not a lot of this blog is dedicated to my sweet hubby. In fact, I don't think he gets much face time at all.... sooooooo I am going to fix that!
Here goes:
1. Where did you meet your husband?
I met Don in Houston by chance. Chance took a few phone calls to coax me to go on a date, when I finally said that we could meet up. One date led to another and another and here we are!
2. How long did you date before you got married?
We had our first date on October 8th, got engaged on January 29th (he tried to make it to Valentine's Day but couldn't wait!) and got married on May 12th, 2006. So it was about 7 months from meeting to marriage!
3. How long have you been married?
It's been almost 4 years, but I don't really judge our marriage by years~ I choose to mark it by kids and houses. We've been married 2 births, 1 adoption, and 4 houses in 3 states, so I feel like we've been married 10 years!
4. What does he do to surprise you?
Don actually surprises me more often than he knows~ sweet things like doing the dishes or making dinner. He's also really good at planning sweet get-aways (like our trip to NYC and Las Vegas) and special occasion celebrations.
5. What is your favorite feature of his?
His smile (thanks for the braces papa & gigi)
6. What is your favorite quality of his?
What has always stood out about Don is his enormous sense of integrity and the desire to do what is right. I can't tell you the number of times that he has said that "it may not be what we want to do, but it's the right thing to do". (which is frustrating, because honestly, who can argue with that!?)
7. Does he have a nickname for you?
Honey, Babe, Sweetie~ nothing too extreme.
8. What is his favorite food?
To eat out? Buffalo Wild Wings. That I cook? Beef Stew, Chicken Tortilla Soup, or my Kung Pow Chicken with Pot Stickers.
9. What is his favorite sport?
HOCKEY!! My life revolves around the Rangers and their schedule. Heavens, we only have the HD package so we can get the NHL package in High Def. He wants to see the individual blood droplets when they get in a fight! Luckily, he has his man-cave to escape to so I can enjoy my Glee and SVU while he watches his hockey with the boys.
10. When and Where did you first kiss?
October 8th~At the end of our first date while sitting on my couch in my tiny apartment in Houston.
11. What is your favorite thing to do as a couple?
Don and I enjoy just being together. We like to watch the entire season of a television show so that we can talk about it. We enjoy going to plays and sporting events and just being together and playing with our kids.
12. Do you have any children?
We have 4 boys~ Brennan, Dylan, Nolan, and Ian. Dylan lives with Don's ex-wife in Oklahoma; Don adopted Brennan 2 years ago; Nolan and Ian complete our family of boys!
13. Does he have any hidden talents?
I'd like to say to my hubby could play an instrument or could sing... but he's never been taught to read music. I'd have to say that Don's hidden talent is his power of persuasion. He can get almost anyone to do what he asks before you realize that you didn't really want too! As you can see, it make him very good in business.
14. How old is he?
My hubby is a cradle robber~ he's 33 (5 1/2 years older).
15. Who said "I love You" first?
He did!
16. What is his favorite music?
Anything that was cool years and years ago. He still thinks that music from when he DJ'd is still in. Honestly, honey, "Big Booty Hoes" is NOT a good song! Although I will say he is getting more trendy in his older years :)
17. What do you admire most about him?
I'm going to go with his ability and desire to fight for what is right, whether it is in business or his personal life.
18. What is his favorite color?
Ranger Blue and Razorback Red
19. Will he read this?
Oh I'm sure he will!!
People I tag? Stephanie, Tammy, Brendalyn, Lyndsie, Sarah, & Melissa (even though you may not blog, you can still post in FB!)

K - I will get to that in a couple of days! I have a pretty cool brother in law.
I had no idea that Don adopted Brennan! That's awesome (and not all at the same time)! Thanks for doing that. I love hearing about people and their relationships, espeically since I haven't seen you in so long! It's a mini catch up! :)
yeah don rocks ok when i remember how to log into my blog i will do this thing!!
Hi Janice...I did this exact thing early on in my blog, so if you want to read my answers, I think it's like my second entry. Don sounds pretty great. I'm glad you have him.
