TAG I'm IT!
You all get to hear about how Matt and I met! Yeah!!
- Where did you meet? At church! I was playing the organ, and I can always see what everyone is doing while I'm up there. Well this ONE Sunday I saw Matt come in and I knew I recognized him from somewhere, oh YA marching band!!! I knew WHO he was in marching band but I didn't care to meet him. I also KNEW he was not a member of my church. So as soon as I was done with my postlude I went to say hi. We talked for a bit and he recognized me as well. I asked what he was doing here and he said he was investigating the church. He eventually joined!
- What was the first thought that went through your head when you met? I can't believe this guy I knew from high school is HERE! At my church! And I'm talking to HIM. I kinda like him!
- Do you remember what he was wearing? Of course! White church shirt with a tie and black pants.
- Where was the first time you kissed this person? Oh......well we weren't "official" yet, but he invited me over for lunch and we were doing our own homework and talking. AS I AM TALKING he leans in and sneaks a kiss. I was SO NOT ready for it. I forgot how to kiss!! It had been that long since the last BF.
- Where did you go for your first date? I guess above would have been.
- How long did you know this person before you became a couple? Well I knew who he was in high school for about 2 years and then I knew him for about a month before we started dating.
- How did he ask you out? One night we went downtown and got some apple cider from Starbucks. I spilled half of it one me and as we were walking back to the car he asks, "so Melanie, What are we?" Then we decided that we were TOGETHER. Awwww.
- Has this person ever proposed to you? YEP. But it wasn't anything crazy special. We both decided together that we wanted to get married. After we had decided, he would make little fake proposals randomly. Until he got the RING, and then he was too nervous to say anything and just showed me it.
- Do you and this person have kids together? TWO little girls! Elizabeth 20 mo. and Isabelle 6 mo.
- Have you ever broken the law with this person? Sad to say, Yes. But now we will always have that memory together. We look back and just laugh at it.
- When was the first time you realized you liked this person? So my friend April and I were at institute and Matt was there talking to a group of friends. There was this one girl, that came out and said, "one day I'm going to marry Matt" To me she was a tom boy. Why would Matt ever want to marry her? But I was SUPER jealous! That's when I knew I was CRAZY about him.
- Do you trust this person? 100%!!!!!
- Do you see him as your partner in the future? This is a tough question for me! We have our ups and downs but probably worst than any regular couples ups and downs. So Yes and No. I guess I'M admitting my marriage isn't so great right now.
- What is the best gift he gave you? Well I am so blessed he gave me my children, But I also love the VS Bath robe and slippers he gave me one year for Christmas. I will probably use it for LIFE!
- What is the one thing he does that gets on your nerves? Mainly leaving all his junk on the floor! But there are a few more!
- Where do you see each other 15 years from now? Um..... I guess with the girls in high school and Matt stationed somewhere for the military.
- What causes the most arguments? RESPONSIBILITIES! Matt doesn't care for TOO many! Or any at all!
- How long have you been together? 3 years married
- Are you married? Yes
- Who do you tag? Anyone!!!! I love hearing your stories too! Amber, Ardis, Elizabeth, Emily, Heather, Tearese, .........everyone!

That is awesome! I love hearing about you! And, I love those littlt pictures of you and Amber... you guys were so cute!
I love hearing/reading these kind of stories. Your story is so cute! I had to chuckle at when you first saw him. I know that is one thing that helped me to join the church...when I came for the first time I actually saw a ton of kids I knew in high school. That really helped. Thanks for sharing with us. :) BTW...when are you coming by??????
So fun to hear how you guys got together. And a little advice....when K and I were having a hard time we got some counseling and it totally changed our marriage for the better. It's so great to go talk to a third party that can help you sort through things! And it's a safe place to air frustrations and work through problems! Things can't get better if you don't talk about them. Good luck! (and I really miss you as my visiting teacher!!!!)
I might do this one, it was fun to read!
bwahahahaha! You're the second person to Tag me on something like this so I think I'll have to do it now..the only thing is, I don't knwo if I have any pics of me and A...hmmmmm, gotta go hunt them down.
tell you what mel, as soon as I get married, I'll do one of these... I can't answer most of these questions... lol
What law did you break!?
LOL thats soo funny! Not sure I should say on here. We were making out in the car in the mall parking garage and literally seconds later the little guy(kinda big actually) in the security cart comes around the corner and asks us what we were doing. He didn't believe us and asked us for our license. He said that if it was his kid walking by the car he wouldn't want him to see us. But it was about 9:00 at night. Go figure. He told us that if he ever saw us again at the mall he would write us up tickets.
