a little about joel

1. Where did you meet your husband? At his place in PG. I was in town bringing Miles out to see his dad and Emily knew him. We had a big idea to get our boys together but we ran late and by the time we got there Landyn was already on his way back to his mom's.

2. How long did you date before you got married? It was eight months from the time we met, and we probably officially started dating long distance in April??? Which would make it 7 months (i think).

3. How long have you been married? 1 year next week! Happy anniversary baby.

4.What does he do that surprises you? Joel does the nicest things all of the time and most of the time it's something little that I totally LOVE and had no idea he had picked up on it. Plus he washes my car or puts new music on my ipod or rents a movie I've been wanting to see. He also gets my favorite treats and occasionally he'll sing me a song.

5.What is your favorite feature? ditto: "I love all of him - I mean look at the picture - he's hot, right?" But if I have to pick one, I'll go with his gorgeous eyes.

6. What is your favorite quality? He is honest. I remember when we were dating and talking on the phone (all the time). I could literally feel the spirit when he spoke, and not necessarily about things that are deep and spiritual but just in general. He is just honest and the spirit couldn't help but confirm the truth.

7. Does he have a nickname for you? Just one but not one that he calls me in public. I'm the one who calls everyone sweetie, and honey, and babe, and pumpkin....

8. What is his favorite food? Sushi

9. What is his favorite sport? UFC for sure to watch and he wishes to play (I won't have it). He loves fishing and hunting and is amazing at basketball and bowling.

10. When and where was your first kiss? My mom's kitchen in Valencia.

11. What is your favorite thing to do as a couple? Make sweet, sweet sandwiches. Yeah, we love each other so much as long as we're together it's a good time.

12. Do you have any children? We each brought one to this marriage and we're about to have 2 more!

13. Does he have any hidden talents? Joel can pretty much do anything and because he's so generous not many of this talents are hidden. He's always teaching people how to do something like juggle or spin a basketball on his fingertip or do the rubik's cube (with his eyes closed). He can figure out basically any puzzle or brainteaser. He cuts hair really well. He even builds me things that I can't find. BUT he can make the best pancakes ever! and he does almost every Sunday.

14. How old is he? 27

15. Who said "I love you" first? me :D

16. What is his favorite music? Joel is really versatile just like me and has a number of favorites. Right now he's into Jason Mraz. Last year at this time he was only listening to Wicked.

17. What do you admire most about him? He is an amazing husband and father and he really does love the Lord. He gives service to many but especially to me and our boys and is always willing to help when called upon.

18. What is his favorite color? Red

19. Will he read this? Yes.
