Husband Tag....

Okay so this is a kinda scary, no make-up or hair do picture. But it's the only one of both of us together with no children on Craigs computer. Mine has died so until it's fixed this is what we get. Gentri wants me to answer questions about her Dad. So here it goes.
1- Where did you meet? We met for the first time at a Pleasant Grove High school basketball game. I was dating his best friend Matt at the time. (now a V.P. for P.G. High) We eventually broke up and I "naturally" went to Craig for comfort. No really he surprised me and asked me to Junior Prom.
2- How long did you date before you were married? We dated for 2 years and then were married.
3-How long have you been married? We have been married for 24 years. It will be 25 in February.
4-What does he do to surprise you? He is very calm and collected when dealing with our teenage daughters. I on the other hand get all upset at things and he is always in control. He knows just how to deal with them!
5- What's you favorite feature about him? His eyes. Brecken and Ryder both have the same little slant to them that Craig's does. And his cute little bottom!
6- What's you favorite quality about him? I love his sense of humor. He is so funny and always makes us laugh. Even the girls say early in the morning he is trying to make them laugh. They don't think he is funny at 6 a.m. but they always talk about it so I know they secretly love it.
7- Does he have a nick name for you? What is it? When we first got married it was Buddy. But now it is Honey.
8-What is his favorite color? His favorite color is Blue, but he says its magenta???
9-What's his favorite food? He loves loves sushi. But he also loves Jelly chicken and chicken tacos. And basically any kind of treat!
10- What is his favorite sport? He loves to golf. By far thats his favorite sport to play. But he likes to watch football. (Especially number 3 on bingham gremlin's)
11- Who said I love you first? I don't remember. Probably me!
12-When and where was your first kiss? I think in front of my house when he dropped me off.
13-What's you favorite thing to do as a couple? We love to travel together, go to dinner and movies and attend our children's many activities.
14- Do you have kids? How many? We have four. Gentri, Brayli, Abbi and Brecken. We have had five. Colby died as an infant. Gentri is married to B.J. Baldwin and they have a 2 year old son Ryder.
15-What's a hidden talent that he has? He can remember millions of movie lines. Seriously he has passed that talent on to Abbi. Don't get the two of them going.
16-How old is he? He is 42.
17-What's his favorite type of music? He loves all kinds except for rap and country. He loves classic rock.
18-What do you admire most about him? I love the honest and kind way he treats people. His customers love him because he is such a good person. I also love the way he loves his children. He is so proud of them and all that they do.
19-What is his favorite past time? He loves to golf. He also loves to read, watch movies and hang out with the family.
20- Do you think he is going to read this? Yes. I'm sure he will.
