Tuesday

I must say that being on bedrest really doesn't have any perks. Hope beyond hope that it never happens to you. That being said, I am blogging again today to give myself something to do!!! I am taking advantage of the tag from Melissa (who tagged everyone who read her husband tag).

Steven Luke Merkley

(This is a wig that Luke has insisted on keeping around, despite my protests... so I made him wear it one day. Ooooh, HOT!)

* Where did you meet? At my home in Park City in the kitchen. It was sometime in February of 2005. Luke is happy to tell anyone and everyone that I was not very nice on this first occasion. But it wasn’t that I wasn’t nice… I was just indifferent, (I had some personal issues at the time). When I met him the second time in June at my brother’s house, I was very smitten and found reasons to stop by just so I could see him again.

* How long did you date? 8 and half months from our first date, July 1, 2005.

*How long have you been married? 2 years and about 8 months.

* What's your favorite feature of his? His blue, blue eyes, his height and his Merkley thickness. Noah has the same thickness… no scrawny boys for me!

* What's your favorite quality of his? He is very outgoing… polar opposites from me. He has a willingness to talk to anyone and everyone, even though it sometimes embarrasses me and his enthusiasm.

* Does he have a nickname for you? Hunny and some I won’t mention.

* What's his favorite color? Red and camo if you consider camo an actual color.

* What's his favorite food? He is definitely a steak and potatoes man, but loves his sushi too!

* What's his favorite sport? Hunting is a sport to Luke. If I had to pick a traditional sport it would probably be baseball but he hasn’t played in years.

* When and where was your first kiss? It was about a week after our first date at my house. Luke would say that it was a little longer than that, but it wasn’t.

* What's your favorite thing to do as a couple? Being outdoors, or taking a drive.

* Where is his favorite vacation spot? Really, not so sure on this one. There are lots of places that he would like to go or go back to… but of the places that we have been together, I would say Jackson Hole.

* Do you have any children? We are lucky to have one amazing little boy and a little girl on the way!

* How old is he? 27

* Who said I love you first & where? Luke said it first and I had no hesitations about saying it right back.

* What's his favorite type of music? Country, country, country.

* What do you admire most about him? His ability to be easy going and his knowledge about the gospel. Actually, his knowledge about everything! He is smart and doesn’t give himself credit for it. He is also very interested in current events and is so well informed in what is going on in the world around him. It is very admirable that he cares.

* Do you think he'll read this? Yep. He likes checking the blog and actually reminds me to update if he thinks it has been too long. And also, I forewarned him… and he wasn’t too happy. Oh well!
