I saw this on my friend's blog and thought I just had to copy it for our 10th anniversary! (Yes, we have been married that long, can you believe it?!?)
What is your sweetheart's name? Jon
How long have you guys been married? 10 years today.
Where did you meet? In his apartment when we were both attending Ricks College. My roommates and I wanted to find a ride to Wendy's, and we went to Jon's apartment to see if anyone there could give us a ride. Jon and his roommate (an old buddy from his church mission) were sitting in the living room singing a song they were both familiar with from their missions to Chile.
What was your first thought when you met him? There is no way this guy has not been in a choir before. He sings really well.
Do you remember what he was wearing? Not exactly, but he was into his plaid flannel shirt and jeans stage at the time, so probably the red plaid shirt that Eliza currently uses for her art smock in school.
Where were you the first time you kissed? Um, is it terrible that I remember where we were when he asked and I said no; but, I don't remember the exact spot when we finally did kiss? I think we were outside my apartment and he was dropping me off right before curfew because I remember walking inside and either thinking or telling my roommates that I "owed" them a steak dinner. (Correct me if I'm wrong, Rivka, ... it was M&Ms for holding hands, and a steak dinner for kissing, right?)
Who kissed who first? I think it was pretty much mutual because he asked and I said yes.
Where did you go on your first date? To Homecoming at Ricks.
How long did you know each other before you became a couple? We knew each other probably for 6-7 weeks.
How did he ask you out? When he took me on our first date he had his roommate change my screen saver on my computer to scroll through, "Would you like to go to Homecoming with me? My name is under your pillow." Except, it was in Spanish. So, I had to print it off and take it to my Spanish class to decipher what the last word (almuhada) was in English.
How old is he? 31
Who can sing best? Jon sings solo better than I, and I sing in a group better than Jon.
Who is smarter? Hands down, it's Jon.
Who does laundry? I pretty much do the laundry ... unless I get lazy and then Jon pitches in. He does iron his own shirts though.
Who pays the bills? Jon does.
Who mows the lawn? Whoever gets to it. Mostly Jon does; although, sometimes I'll do it if he's super busy during the week.
Who cooks dinner? I do; but, Jon will if I need him to.
Who is the first to admit when they are wrong? We're both pretty stubborn ... but, usually I think it's Jon.
When did you realize you really liked this person? Um, I don't really remember because it happened so gradually. I do know for sure that about three weeks after our first date I was head over heels.
Some memorable times from each year of our marriage:
99-00 1. Bad and loud karaoke sifting up to our apartment from our downstairs neighbors in student housing.
00-01 2. Taking our marriage class at the Uof U Institute.
01-02 3. Visiting Arches National Park and Moab.
02-03 4. Graduation for you, moving twice, and buying our townhome.
03-04 5. Planting our first garden together.
04-05 6. Experiencing our first tornado-like storms, and driving through them on Mother's Day.
05-06 7. Performing the Families of Faith production.
06-07 8. Being apart for a week in August before Jon joined us in Utah.
07-08 9. Going to my first Wild's game.
08-09 10. Playing in the stream just inside American Fork Canyon, going to the State Fair and the Renaissance Fair.
Love you, Sweetheart! The last ten years have been very eventful, but I'm glad I got to do it all with you! And, whatever you do, you better not make me a millionaire!!!!!

Second, I remember telling Alan 'no' when he asked to kiss me, too! :) (I told him not to ask the next time because it made me too nervous!)
