What do you and your husband like to do together? Mountain Biking, eating at yummy restaurants, snuggling during a movie, watching British TV series, cooking, boating
What would be your perfect day? spending the day out on the lake with my family, then eating a delicious Thai meal and ending it with watching a great movie in the backyard
What was the best advice you got/would give on marriage? Don't take offense and always put the other person first.
What story does your family always tell about you? My family went camping for a big family reunion when I was about 16. We got to our campsite and started setting up our tents. As a joke my older brother held up a hammer as if he were going to throw it to my other brother. Me, being my dramatic self, yelled out "NEVER throw a hammer... EVER!!!!!!" They laughed and laughed about it and whenever I'm a little dramatic now, that story is always brought up and quoted. And of course it's made more and more dramatic every time it's told.
