everything you ever wanted to know about steve...










HuSbAnD tAg!.!.!.!.!


1.Where did you two meet? At the BYU Cannon Cafeteria at Helaman Halls. His dad is a friend of my Uncle Mel and hired me as a hostess and I met Steve soon after.
2. How long did you date before you got married? Officially 3 dates, BUT we worked 40 hours a week with eachother for 3 months.
3.How long have you been married? We were married February 13, 1993, so a little over 15 and a half years.
4.What does he do to surprise you? I love when I find all of the clothes folded. I'll do it, but it is SO MUCH NICER when he folds for me.
5.Favorite feature about him? I love his little underbite. His parents said that when he was a senior, he could have his jaw broken and re-aligned but he decided not to. I'm glad---I think he's cute!!
6.Favorite quality about him? Steve is an exceptionally hard worker. You would have to be to get up for the past 10 years of your life at 3:30 every morning to go fry donuts!
7.Does he have a nick name for you? I mostly get called "G"--very rarely anything else.
8. What is his favorite color? Cougar Blue (is there really any question?)
9.What is his favorite food? He loves Chinese food, not so much the vegetable part, but Mexican food is pretty high up there too.
10.What is his favorite sport? He likes watching football, and likes playing golf with my family.
11.Who said i love you first? I am pretty sure it was him--but I honestly don't remember. It might have been after one of our marathon dates. I was living at home while going to BYU so we'd drive up from Provo on Friday after our classes, spend the whole weekend together (with Steve sleeping on the futon) and then drive up Monday morning for our first class. Fun times!!!
12.When and where was your first kiss? At my house, outside on the deck that Grandad built. Steve had never kissed anyone before and was so polite about asking if it would be okay. After getting a serious case of the giggles, we had our first kiss (and a couple more too...)
13.Favorite thing to do as a couple? We have a few shows we are married to--The Office, American Idol and Lost and we always TiVo them so we can watch them together. We also LOVE going to BYU football games together.
14.Whats a hidden talent that he has? Steve is a juggler--he can juggle just about anything you throw at him. Just make sure you warn him first!
15.Where was your first date? We knew so much about eachother just from working so closely together that our first date was kinda scary. We needed to know that we liked eachother out of the cafeteria. We went to a dollar movie in Provo and saw
"Housesitter" with Goldie Hawn and Steve Martin. It was so funny and we ended up talking and talking afterwards.
16.How did he propose? After a REALLY late BYU/Hawaii football game in October, we just started talking about what it'd be like to be married. What temple we would get married in, where we would live, how many kids we'd have etc. At the time it felt all hypothetical. I remember going to teach my Sunbeam class the next morning and actually realizing that I had probably just gotten engaged! A few weeks later BYU had a dance and Steve gave me a beautiful pearl ring to wear while he saved for a diamond. I got an engagement ring the night before Christmas 1992.
17.What do you most admire most about him? His dedication to our family. We are who we are because of him. He keeps us in stitches and is such a good dad to the kids and such a fantastic husband to me. I love him with all of my heart and am so blessed to know that I am sealed to him forever. LOVE YOU BABY!!!

**Just like Lindsey did, I 'd love to tag all of my other sisters--but why stop there? Anyone who wants to give props to their husbands, go for it!!!

I think it's so sweet that he gave you that cute pearl ring first until he got the real one--- which I think is really pretty too! I'm glad you responded to the tag... there will be more to come! Love ya sis.

You've got a good egg, in that Steve of yours. Good job on your tag, I want to steal some of your answers (like dedication to our family) that's a good one!!, they just sound so much better than mine. I just babble on and on and on.....like one time Ryan made the bed. Oh well, have a great day! Wish we could go to the family parties!!
