Two for Togetherness

2 Things you compliment your husband on while in his presence:1) His perfect quesadillas; 2) His vast knowledge of sports trivia.

2 compliments you make about your spouse to your friends: 1) He’s able to get the kids to do the things that they just roll their eyes at me when I threaten them; 2) He always tries to be home on nights when I need to get out of the house.

2 traits you married him for: 1) His self-confidence; 2) His brilliance (I knew we’d have smart kids!).

2 Days you cherished the most with your husband being together: 1) The day he finally (after 25 months) got home from his mission; 2) The day and night and next day we sat in the hospital waiting for Isaac to be born.

2 Material things you could give your husband if you just inherited a fortune: 1) A new car (he currently drives an old Plymouth Neon, much to the amusement of his Lexus-driving doctor friends); 2) Golf lessons.

2 things you would miss the most if he left for 2 weeks: 1) Saturday night takeout-and-a-movie nights on the couch; 2) Sunday naps.

2 thoughts that crossed your mind when you first met/saw your spouse: 1) How the heck do you know my name (are you a stalker?); 2) He's tall and cute, for a stalker.

2 favorite dates: 1) Skiing at Brighton (on the way home he kept telling me that if there was an avalanche, which I think he was hoping for, we’d have to get naked together because our body heat would keep us warm and improve our chances of survival); 2) Going on our first road trip (to Zion National Park) the day after we got engaged.

2 funny odd things you love 1) The way we get so excited for our big tv nights together (Sundays and Thursdays); 2) The interesting but strange email articles he sends me from work all the time (is he really working when he’s there?) .

2 places you have lived with your spouse: 1) Provo, UT, 2) Rochester, MN.

2 favorite vacations 1) Mackinac Island, MI; 2) Bryce Canyon, UT .
