Our Love Story

Today I'm linking up with "From Mrs To Mama" for a wonderful Valentines Day Post to talk about Our Love Story!




1. How long have you and your significant other been together?
Met in 2009, started dating 2010, Engaged and Married 2011


2. How did you meet? {What's your "love" story?}
When I walked into my new job at a rental car company he was the first person I met. He was funny and sweet but we were both in relationships that were in major decline. Both of us unhappy with we're our lives were going. Once we were both able to break away from our previous relationships we both realized that we meant more to each other then anything we have ever experienced before. He is my soul mate, my everything and I'm so happy that I was blessed with such a wonderful person to be by my side.




3. If married, how long have you been married? If not, is this the guy you hope to marry? {do tell}
Since August 13, 2011, the most amazing day of my life



4. If you are married, where did you get married at? Big or small wedding? If not, where would you like to get married? And will it be big or small?
We were married in a tropical garden. It was a small wedding, about 100 people. I would not have had it any other way.




5. Do you have any nick-names that you call one another? Do share!
I call him love bug (no idea why) and he calls me his diamond.

6. Name 3 things you love most about your honey.
- His Heart, he is so kind and thoughtful. You can see how much he truly loves me with his whole heart and nothing less
- His Eyes, they are so blue and you can see how sincere of a person he is, when you look at them
- His love for all things Pittsburgh, at first I thought it was a little overboard but its nice to see someone so passionate about something.




7. Tell us how he proposed? Or your ideal proposal?
He proposed on 1/1/2011 as soon as the ball dropped. It was perfect, we were home, just the 2 of us after a very expensive trip to the melting pot. Could not have asked for anything better.

8. Is he a flowers and teddy bear kind of guy for v-day, or strawberries, champagne, and rose petals?
None of these, he is a Pandora charms kind of guy. Since he bought me the bracelet all of my gifts have consisted of charms for it. I think he bought it to make it easier for HIM! lol its OK though I love them!

9. Are you a sunset dinner on the beach kind of girl, or pop a movie in and relax on the couch?
I'm a home body for LIFE! I LOVE staying home and just relaxing with my hubby. I think its because we never get to just relax together!

10. Tell us one thing you'd like to do with your significant one day. If you could do anything? Go anywhere?
I want to have a family with my husband. We have been TTC for a few months now and it hasn't happened yet. I want to see my husband become a dad because I know how wonderful he would be at it. It will happen....patience is not my best quality.

11. Tell us what you plan on doing on this Valentine's Day.
Nothing Special, Probably make a nice dinner because I have off that day

12. Are you asking for anything this Valentine's day?
Nope, we just spent lots of money of furniture so I'm not asking for anything

13. Give us one piece of advice of keeping a relationship strong and full of love.
Follow your heart and never give up if you truly feel something is right for you. My husband is older then me and I had so many people tell me I'm crazy, including my parents, sisters, friends, co workers, etc. Everyone who you usually have as a support system had turned there back on me. I knew our love was stronger and deeper then that and for the first time in my life I listened to my heart and not the other voices around me. It was the best decision I have ever made for myself.

14. Show us a picture of what love means to you.


Ok so let me explain the question you may have when looking at this picture and why the heck does this picture show what love means to me. First question...Why does John have socks on? Well, this picture was taken on our honey moon and my very light skinned husband had litterally 3rd degree burns on his feet from the sun so he wore socks the WHOLE time. This picture shows us, exactly how we are together. We are fun, and in love and ready for anything that comes our way.
