It's Almost Valentine's Day! The Two for Togetherness Meme.

(If you are unfamiliar with what "meme" means, check this out.)

2 things you compliment your husband on while in his presence.

His ability to get Son 1 to go to bed on a night when Son 1 forgets who is mother is.
His generosity.


2 compliments you make about your spouse to your friends.

The way he is so protective of me and the boys.
When, at our wedding, his best man told me "nobody doesn't like your husband..."


2 traits you married him/her for.

He was so fun on dates. And he still is!
The way he talks to people: sincerely and with passion.


2 days you cherished the most with your husband being together. (Skip the obvious--wedding/birth of kids--and come up with something else.)

Aruba. And Aruba. Oh, and Aruba.
San Diego when I was pregnant with Son 1. I think of that trip every day.


2 material things you could give your husband if you just inherited a fortune.

Tickets to all major sporting events. And a golf game on the day before. And a spa day for his wife during the major sporting events.

Running boards for his truck. (He's been asking for them for four years.)


2 things you would miss the most if she/he left for two weeks.

His smile. His arms around me. His arms around our boys. His arms changing diapers.


2 thoughts that crossed your mind when you first met/saw your spouse.

"Is he always this happy?"
"I can't believe how easy this is."


2 favorite dates

Dancing at my friends' weddings!
Kansas City Chiefs game; we were so cold but we had hot chocolate.


2 funny or odd things you love about your spouse.

I can only think of one but it's a good one: He makes concoctions out of leftovers in the fridge. Bless him, he will eat leftovers that are a week old. He'll mix them up in a pan, Chinese, Mexican, whatever's in there, and happily grab a spoon. I've told him, that's fine but you're not feeding it to our sons.


2 places you have lived with your spouse.

Upstairs and downstairs.


2 favorite vacations

Mentioned above, also Panama City Beach with my family before we were married. Atlantis, California, all so much fun.
