obligatory valentine's day post

happy valentine's day, friends! i am going to celebrate today by working for 8 hours, then grabbing dinner (perhaps at chilis? we're not very fancy this year.) and watching a movie with my valentines brandon and schmidt.

i saw a few weeks ago that there was going to be an awesome valentine's day link up with the life of the not so ordinary wife and i knew i wanted to participate. you've never heard from my husband on this blog and i think it's about time you do. i asked him to answer a set of questions about me that i answered as well. here's what we had to say:

how long have you been married?
H: 9 months
B: 9 months

where was your first date?
H: ikea
B: i really don't know what our first real date was, we hung out a lot before i asked her out.

where was your first kiss?
H: the parking lot of blaise baptist
B: the parking lot of my church

who first said, "i love you?"
H: i know for a fact that i thought it first, but i waited for him to say it first.
B: i did. in my sleep. i don't remember it, but she said it was awkward.

what is the best meal she has ever cooked you?
H: i think it was the first time i made guacamole. he realized then that i was an amazing cook. ;)

if you could throw out one item of her clothing what would it be?
H: i got rid of some old flannel shirts the other day.
