Quiz thingummyjig

It appears that I have been "tagged" by Amanda in this here quiz thingy. It's good timing since I was trying to think of something to blog about. Here goes.

1. how long did you date before you got married? We dated 5 months and were engaged 5 months, leading to a total of...(drumroll)...10 months!

2. how long have you been married? 3 Months, 6 days, and 7 hours.

3. what does he do that surprises you? I could say reading aloud to me from Wikipedia about the history and origin of Gandalf the Grey, like he was doing just a minute ago...but that doesn't really surprise me. Something that does: He often watches my girl movies with me (Pride & Prejudice, Phantom of the Opera, etc) by choice and enjoys them.

4. what is his best feature? Hard to pick just one...he has very nice lips. And the shape of his face looks like it was chiseled by a very talented artist. His eyes are also nice...ok but as for the very best, I would have to say his smile. It's very contagious, which makes it hard to keep frowning when he smiles at me.

5. what is his best quality? One of my very favorites is his loyalty, commitment, and devotion to the people he loves and the things he believes in. I also really admire his leadership and people skills. And he has a wonderful quirky sense of humor; we can sit and giggle for hours about basically nothing at all.

6. does he have a nickname for you? It's pretty cliche but we always call each other honey. The Danish version of honey (sweetie baby etc) is "skat," and I think that one will gain popularity as my Danish improves.

7. what is his favorite color? Red and Green.

8. what is his favorite animal? He likes ALL animals a lot, but especially: Gorillas, Pandas, Polar bears...there are more favorites but I don't remember them right now. His favorite dog is a rottweiler. When we get a house we will probably get a Huskie though, I like them better.

9. what is his favorite food? He also likes ALL food for the most part...but his favorite of everything is steak.

10. what is his favorite sport? To watch/cheer for: Soccer (called Football in europe). To play/do: Swimming (on the closet shelf there is a box full of trophies he won for swimming).

11. when and where did you first kiss? October 25th 2007, in his apartment (now ours), chillin' after institute.

12. favorite thing to do as a couple? Hummmm...it depends on what mood we are in. Sometimes we really like going out to eat and/or to the movies, but that is pretty expensive in Denmark so we don't do it a lot. In the wintertime we enjoy having a "cozy night" inside (coziness is very Danish), watching a movie, oftentimes Harry Potter or LOTR, and eating something yummy. Playing the question game is always fun too.

13. do you have any children? Um....no. Haha.

14. does he have a hidden talent? He's a whiz kid with a rubics cube.

15. how old is he? 26

16. who said 'i love you' first? He did, also on October 25th 2007, after a few less committed variations in the days beforehand.

17. what is his favorite music? It varies. He likes Disney soundtracks, 70's - 80's music, church music, cheesy love songs, and pretty much anything upbeat. His current favorite band is queen.

18. what do you admire the most? I think the quality of his which I would most like to emulate is his ability to be positive all the time; to push negative thoughts out of the way in order to be happy and helpful to others.

19. do you think he will read this? Probably, he reads my blog periodically.

Done! I don't really know lot of married people with blogs...trying to think of who to tag...how about...Pri, Cat, Maren, and Joanna. Joanna, I know you're not married yet but you almost are so I'm tagging you anyway.

It was a week after our first date and the same day we both said I love you (quick, I know) so it was a pretty momentous occasion.

Cat said...
