1) We met while we were working at the same daycare. I was new and cleaning the bathroom in my classroom. H told me I was doing it wrong (according to our boss). I told him I wasn't. I was engaged at the time so not much else happened.

2) My Fav thing to do with H is go to the beach for walks. We don't do it much, but it is so nice when we do.

3) He takes way too long in the bathroom. Enough said.

4) He teaches 3rd grade Science and Social Studies.

5) Photography, playing Star Trek Online, Geocaching

Bonus: Probably a Long Island Iced Tea because he lives on Sweet Tea.

Some kind of apple-flavored beer because that's what he likes.

1. We met in high school. We went to two different schools but I got a job at the restaurant he worked at. I was working the drive thru one day & he walked in & we spotted each other. He always has said it was love at first sight. We didn't formally meet at that moment but that's one of our first memories. After that he told me he was asking everyone all about me. We went on our first date 3 months later.

2. Just being with him is my favorite especially when ds is content elsewhere. Lol we chat a lot & when ds is in bed every night we watch our shows & just hang. One of my favorite parts of the day.

3. Maybe when he gets so invested in house projects he barely takes a break!

4. *poof*

5. He loves watching movies, grilling, & home improvement projects.

BONUS:
Probably a beer. He barely drinks but when he does, he's usually content with a beer. Literally one beer. He'll buy a 6 pack once in a blue moon & it lasts months. Lol

[ashiscute]

1. We worked at TGI Fridays together. We worked together for over a year before we started dating though.

2. Either go to a sporting event or watch one. We're going to baseball game without kids for our anniversary next month!

3. He does not pick up after himself unless I nag him. So annoying!

4. He works in finance helping people with stock options.

5. Watching/talking about college basketball, running, cooking.

Bonus- I'd say Coors Light or whatever the beer special is. He's easy going and likes less expensive things.

1. Where and how did you and your SO meet? On MySpace.

2. What is your favorite thing to do with your SO? My favorite thing is at the end of the day just laying on the couch together and watching something.

3. What about your SO drives you batshit crazy? He's lazy. SO LAZY!

4. What does your SO do for a living? He works in an office doing all sorts of office type stuff. He's one of 3 employees at his company and the only one in the front office, so he does it all.

5. What are your SO's top 3 hobbies? Playing video games, MTG, and I don't know about a third!

[Deleted]

1. That depends on who you ask. I say we met on match.com...he says we met when I worked at the Subway near his house.

2. Go to the theater to watch musicals. It's interesting to talk to him about the shows we see.

3. When he leaves dishes in the sink instead of putting them in the dishwasher, which is right next to the sink.

4. He's a computer programmer.

5. Playing games (board or computer), drawing, and watching movies.

BONUS:
I'm not sure...maybe a Hurricane? He's not so wild now, but from the stories I heard...let's just say DD is taking after him!

[younglove316]

We met our senior year of high school in a class that basically prepares you for life on your own. Ironically enough he was my fake life partner

We like to go to concerts

When he puts dishes in the sink with globs of food still on them.

I don't think he has too many hobbies anymore but video games were the biggest before kids. He also enjoys going to movies.

Alcoholic drink I would go with Coors light.

[oreobitsy]

We met Freshman year of college but didn't start dating until the next year. We just had mutual friends so always saw each other.

Explore new places together or cooking/hang out watching tv together.

He can't stop doing "projects"... there's always something new he needs to work on and sometimes I just want lazy days.

He works doing territory sales for a large company, travels at leaSt once a week for a couple days.

House projects, cooking, and right now, watching Naked and Afraid lol.

He'd be some kind of drink that most people enjoy.. he's a total people person. I guess beer, since lots of people like that.

[penguin129]

oreobitsy I'm like your H with the ongoing never-ending projects. It drives my H crazy. His dad is the same way.

[cam]

1. Where and how did you and your SO meet?
We have common friends and ended up on the same outing.

2. What is your favorite thing to do with your SO?
Watch movies, have deep discussions, work on projects, enjoy the outdoors, etc.

3. What about your SO drives you batshit crazy?
He picks at his nails (I have sensory issues regarding sounds like that).

4. What does your SO do for a living?
He is somewhat higher up in the construction world.

5. What are your SO's top 3 hobbies?
Classic cars, working on vehicles (I say that loosely to include ATVs, garden tractors, boats, basically anything with a motor and even stuff without really), and woodworking.

BONUS:
If your SO were an alcoholic drink, what would he be?
I'll have to think on this, but today is not a day for thinking (migraine).

There are benefits to having a spouse who is always doing a project, so it's always good to have one per household . I tend to overanalyze just how we want things and he dives in and just does it. If he was like me, we would have a lot of unfinished elements to our house (we bought a fixer-upper and he did a lot of the work).

[ashiscute]

cam my H picks his nails too. It is the worst! It makes me stomach hurt to even think about.

Yes! LO has picked up on doing it too. LO and I have been working hard the past few weeks to break that, thankfully with a decent amount of progress as he had been trying to pick off all the white part and going way too short to the point that I was concerned (on top of being bombarded by the horrific sound of the act).

Hi penguin129! Been busy adjusting to life with two! Also just had the little one baptized (plus the party afterwards) a few weeks ago, had ILs here for two weeks, and also a visit from my cousin and her family. Celebrated 7th wedding anniversary Monday with a date night last night. 

I can't believe the summer is basically halfway over. DS1 will start 4yo preschool (5 days a week!) in about 6 weeks.

How have you been?

[mrsmuq]

1. We met freshman year of college. I was his English tutor (English is his second language). We started dating a year later. 14 years together this September.

2. Just about anything, but I particularly like hiking and vacationing with him.

3. He puts his feet on me when he sleeps. And he's allergic to the dishwasher.

4. Computer engineer.

5. Running, swimming, cycling. He also enjoys boating, fishing, hunting, bowling and motorcycling.

BONUS: Some sort of craft beer.

DS1 has pretty bad seasonal allergies. This past spring, his PK teahcer asked him how his allergies were doing, and he told her, "My allergies are fine because mama gave me all my medicine. But dada is still allergic to the dishwasher." Bwahaha. Apparently, I say that phrase frequently enough for my 4yo to pick up on it.
