2. What was the first thought that went through your head when you met?
-"This guy is mysterious!... and funny.
3. Do you remember what he/she was wearing?
-No... but I can guess... probably jeans with holes in them and an old western shirt with a screen printed t-shirt underneath. Most likely... his jeans were WAY too baggy.
4. Where was the first time you kissed this person?
-On the waterfront in Salem... after our first date. Don't judge me! I had already known the guy for a few months.... gosh.
5. How did he/she ask you out?

7. How long did you know this person before you became a couple?
-Um, maybe 4 months?
8. Would you change something about him/her?

:)
9. Do you and this person have kids together?
-No kids yet....
10. Have you ever broken the law with this person?
-Broken the law....? Well considering Matt is Dudley-Do-Right... I can't even drive over the speed limit without him giving me the evil eye. So... no law breaking in this relationship.
11. When was the first time you realized that you liked this person?
-We were in Brazil and our hooch leader "separated" us... forbidding us to sit next to one another. Puh-lease! I was partially rebellious (who tells a 23 year old who she can sit next to?), and also curious about this quiet, humorous guy. So... she just fanned the fire! Way to go!
12. Do you get along with any of the ex's of your partner?
-Well, I don't personally know Matt's other girlfriends, but I do know they were nice girls and beautiful.
13. Do you trust this person?

14. Do you see your partner in your future?
-Ha ha... I think about the future a lot. We will live a long life together (God willing....) and have many happy memories.
15. Whats the most expensive thing this person has given you?
-Matt is a GREAT gift-giver. He is thoughtful and creative.... for Christmas he gave me a computer. To be honest, the gifts I enjoy the most are the one's from the heart. He recently recorded a song for me... it was awesome, and so touching.
16. What is one thing he/she does that gets on your nerves?
-Gets on my nerves....? Probably peeling his socks off... so when I do laundry, all of Matt's socks are little sweaty balls. Yum.
17. What is the thing you do that gets on his/her nerves?
-I am neat freak. It's hard to go to bed with dishes in the sink... I bug him a lot for it.
18. Where do you see each other in 15 years from now?
-I don't know... children for sure. Maybe adoption... a vacation home and international travel.
19. Do you two have any inside jokes?
-Um, sorta... we tell a lot of "inappropriate" jokes to each other. Classy huh?

-Including dating?.... we've been a couple for.... almost five years.... it's our 4th wedding anniversary in July.
23. Do you ever fight?
-Matt and I rarely fight... but when things get heated... it's always the same stuff. Lame stuff. I have always been glad that we have a very happy marriage. Not too many conflicts.
24. What do you like most about him?
-I really like that Matt is intelligent and humorous at the same time. I also like that he's not a chump. He's not out impress anyone.
25. Has this person ever proposed to you?
-Matt proposed to me in December of 2003 after seeing the Portland Nutcracker. We were at Pioneer Place amongst the lit Christmas Trees... we went back to his parents house for mac & cheese with champagne to celebrate! It was a complete surprise.
