Well this is really more 10 on the 15th… but I still wanted to participate in Leslie’s link up. This months questions were all about love! I hope you enjoy. 🙂
How romantic are you?
I wouldn’t say I am super romantic, but not not romantic either. I love cooking a nice meal for Matt, and do enjoy when we can just sit and eat together. Which doesn’t happen very often because #kids and #covid. I do love romantic comedies, and can get teary eyed while watching.
What is your best relationship advice?
Oh gosh… this is kinda of tough! I suppose I would say to remember that there are struggles in any relationship. Nothing is perfect. What is important is how you handle them. Don’t let things fester (I can totally be guilty of this), because then all it takes is one somewhat small thing to make everything explode.
When did you give your first kiss? How did you feel? When did you start dating?
I got my first kiss my Sophomore year of high school. A friend (from a different high school than me) was having a bonfire and had a bunch of kids over. One of her friends (who I am pretty sure I had met previously) was there, and we were walking on a path, and he asked if he could kiss me. I was pretty excited. We then starting dating (he was my first boyfriend), but alas it didn’t work out, and he was kind of a jerk. Then senior year of high school he ended up going to prom with an acquaintance and ended up joining us at my friends house for an after prom party. I thought it was kind of a crappy thing to do, but I had my own date so I wasn’t too upset.
What makes a relationship healthy?
Another toughie Leslie! First I would say respect. You have got to respect each other, even when you don’t agree. And making sure you have time to yourself.
What is your Love Language?
According the the quiz I took, my love language is acts of service which is at 37%. Quality time, words of affirmation, and physical touch are all at 20%, while receiving gifts is 3%. This does not surprise me at all. While Matt hasn’t taken this quiz I’m pretty positive that physical touch would be the highest on his list. I do actually see how it is important to know your partners love language. Take Matt and I for example. If I go out of my why to provide an act of service (since that is my love language) I may think, “wow, I hope Matt sees how much I love him!” And while he would totally appreciate it, a kiss, or bootie squeeze may do a better job of showing my love.
Who is one couple you admire in terms of love?
This is another tough one! I do admire my parents, as well as my grand parents in law.
Who is your favorite celebrity or fictional couple?
At first I had no idea what I would say for this, as I don’t really follow many celebrities. But then it came to me, and actually it’s a toss up between two. Either Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively or Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard.
Name a food you love. An activity you love doing?
Give me all the chocolate please. I love pretty much all crafty activities. Knitting, crochet, sewing, using my Silhouette.
Do you believe in love at first sight?
Not really. I do think you can find someone very attractive at first sight, but to love someone means you really need to know them.
What would you do Valentine’s Day weekend if money and Covid weren’t an issue.
Drop the kids off at grandmas and go to a tropical all inclusive resort. Lay on the beach, drink good drinks, eat yummy food, and just soak up one on one time with Matt.
