Hope Filled Mom

I saw this meme over at Bitsy’s place and thought I would do it here too.

Here’s a little bit about my husband - whom I love so much!

1. He’s sitting in front of the TV, what is on the screen?

Football, Heroes, The Office, Seinfeld, Friends, and all that good stuff.

2. You’re out to eat what kind of dressing does he get on his salad?

Ranch and French and lots of it to cover up the vegetables.

3. What’s one food he doesn’t like?

Anything that starts with a “V” as in “vegetables”. He really hates cauliflower, and I think that is weird because that’s my favorite veggy.

4. You go out to the bar, what does he order?

We don’t typically go to the bar, but I am guessing he would order flavored iced tea, lol!

5. Where did he go to high school?

Are you kidding me…I will not tell you where but I will say it was the rival school to where I went to High School.

6. What size shoe does he wear?

10 or 11, depends on the shoe.

7. If he was to collect anything, what would it be?

He would definitely have a DVD collection.

8. What is his favorite type of sandwich?

Hamburger.

9. What would this person eat every day if he could?

I don’t think there is anything out there that he would eat every day. He has his spurts though but gets tired of a food pretty easily.

10. What is his favorite cereal?

I really don’t know. Oatmeal?

11. What would he never wear?

A pink shirt - or a “pink” anything for that matter.

12. What is his favorite sports team?

He loves football and the Indianapolis Colts would be his favorite. He also like the *cough* Patriots *cough* but we don’t talk about THAT team in THIS house.

13. Who will he vote for?

Not sure, I think he is still undecided. We don’t talk politics that much, our goal is to stay married, LOL!

14. Who is his best friend?

Moi.

15. What is something you do that he wishes you wouldn’t do?

Umm…I don’t know he thinks I am pretty perfect, LOL! Just kidding, I am sure it is something like not worry so much or be disrespectful.

16. How many states has he lived in?

He’s only lived in one, and I’m not telling where…

17. What is his heritage?

African American

18. You bake him a cake for his birthday; what kind of cake?

Does buying a cake from the store count as baking? If so I would buy him a carrot cake because it’s his favorite.

19. Did he play sports in high school?

Yes, he played football, wrestling, and track and field.

20. What could he spend hours doing?

Hanging out with his wifey. He always says his dream job is to get paid to spend time with me, awh…

One reason why I canceled out this blog last time was because I felt like I was pouring my heart out to the on line world, and not to my husband.

Something I learned in marriage counseling is that we need to be “intentional” when interacting with our husbands, especially now when the kids are so little, and the time we spend together is limited.  I just feel this blog was taking away from opening up and communicating with my husband more.

So my promise to myself…what i post on this blog (and even on twitter) will be said to my husband first, no matter how random or out of the blue it may be.  I will do this in an email, on the phone, or in person - it will just depend on where he is and where I am.  This will actually help me to be a better wife and also share my life with the 5 people who read this blog on a regular basis. 

SO there you go, that’s my promise to myself and I intend to keep it.  Once I stray away from this I will also stop blogging.  So if you don’t hear from me in a while at least you will know why…
