9 *Blissful* years...

I never do these tags, but since today is our 9 year Anniversary, here goes:

Husband Tag

Dustin William Chambers-

-Where did you meet your husband? At high school! But it is kind of a cute story. The summer before my sophomore year (YOUNG, i know) Dustin bought hay from my dad. My dad asked him if he knew me, he didn't. He figured I was a "sweet spirit," since my dad was trying to get me a date (which I don't understand to this day, he always got on my case about being too-boy crazy), so later in the school year, he saw my name logged onto the school network and sent me a message, out of "charity." Little did he know, I was quite the hottie in high school and didn't really need the charity :)...but we e-mailed back and forth quite a bit before we finally met, and it's cheesy but I loved his personality. Turned out, we had lots of friends in common, and it was the beginning of something beautiful!

-How long did you date? From October 1996 to November of 1999 (if we had met 4 years later, probably that answer would be 3.5 months...)

-How long have you been married? Nine years today!

-What does he do that surprises you? No matter how many times I completely blow our budget, on clothes, house stuff, shoes, etc...he ALWAYS forgives me. And I am ALWAYS surprised.

-What is his best quality? He makes me laugh so hard, (and no, Jenna and JAmi, it's not always at your expense) and we can talk the whole 3 hour drive home from Utah and never once turn on the radio. Physically? hmmm. everything, but I do love his eyes. and his butt. sorry, being honest.

-Does he have a nickname for you? not that I can put here.

-What is his favorite food? anything and everything! His favorite is probably a big nasty burger from Big Juds and home-made choc. chip cookies. He's probably the better cook of the two of us, and I try not to be jealous and just feel lucky.

-What is his favorite sport? He likes to play Basketball and is awesome at softball, but is not into professional sports, although after growing up with Garret in the house, it was a little wierd to get used to, but nice!

-When and where did you kiss? Under the plum tree in my back yard, after about 2 months of dating...

-What is your favorite thing to do as a couple? Go to the movies together, road trips - without kids, preferably! and I love to walk around the lake with him on summer evenings after the kids are asleep...and other things...

-Do you have children? Yes! Kennedy and Hudson, don't know if that's it or not...we'll see.

-Does he have any hidden talents? I don't know how hidden it is, but he is a really awesome cook and is a wizard with Gorilla glue and all of Hudsons broken toys.

-How old is he? 28

-Who said "I love you" first? he did,after only 3.5 months! totally no contest.

-His favorite music? Probably Nickelback. He likes a little of everything, just like me, but his tastes are sometimes a little heavier than mine...

-What do you admire most about him? He is always so willing to help someone in need, and I'm usually good at finding him needy people! He is such a hard worker and really takes care of our family, in every way possible.

-What is his favorite color? I think blue? But in cars, definitely red.

-Will he read this? Yes, he makes fun of it a little, but he secretly LOVES our blog. He created our playlist with such care, and loves to check our comments every night...

-Who do you tag? Anyone who wants to brag about their hubby.

Happy Anniversary, Dustin! You know you are the best thing that ever happened to me. Ever. My life is heaven because of you.

PS - I'm heading to see Twilight in 3 hours! If I'm not too tired I'll blog about it after...at 2 am...maybe it will be tomorrow...
