How well do you know me?

Facebook didn't become a popular thing until I was almost out of college with my undergrad.  Yep... How's that for a confession? I remember filling out these ridiculous questionaires that people would post and then repost in an effort to get their friends to answer questions.  Sort of like playing one of those ridiculous "get-to-know-you" icebreakers at camp that always seemed annoying at the time but then you found out a lot about your friends that you may have not known.  Two weeks ago at my wife's bridal shower we played a goofy little game called, "How well do you know the bride?" This game was simply filling out a worksheet that asked questions about the bride like...What's the bride's favorite store? What's the bride's favorite color? Food? Movie? Book? What month did she meet the groom? Whose her favorite actor or band? What's her middle name? I know my wifey.  I shared an office with her for two years.  She used to love drinking cherry coke.  She likes hazelnut coffee creamer in her coffee, skittles, antique / rural decor, and minature hershey bars.  Beer of choice -- Coors light.  We both have a passion for bad 80's hair bands, country music, wearing sweaters, cowboy boots, Target, Paula Deen / southern cooking, and the Fall.  She loves the Steelers and the Penguins, plays piano, guitar, and some banjo.  She doesn't mind roughing it in order to get a beautiful view of a mountian or a creek.  Incredibly intelligent, sometimes blunt, but always affectionate and gives fabulous hugs. 

I thought this little question game was going to be a joke and a joke it definitely was not.  Seriously y'all I was so embarrassed at how few of those questions I could answer with definite certainty.  I knew where her and her fiance had met but it blanked me on what time of year it was...We listen to so much music I've never paid attention if she ever mentioned one band being the favorite over another.  Rough.... I also realized how I couldn't answer a lot of those questions for myself.  I've been doing some soul searching recently and as a part of that I figured out my answers to these trivia questions and committed my wifey's answers to memory.  :)

1. What's your middle name? Grayce

2. What was your first job? I completed a work study under my former high school ag teacher all 4 years of high school.  It's basically what led me to want to become an ag teacher.

3.  What's your favorite color? Green.... but I'm also partial to red.  :)

4.  What's your favorite restaurant? I haven't met too many that I don't care for but I really enjoy the Carolina Ale House.. followed closely by Firebirds.  I also love Mitch's near NCSU, Subway and Zaxby's. 

5.  What's yur fave store? Target

6.  Favorite band / singer? George Strait, but I also love some Brooks & Dunn, Moroon 5, and Hillsong United.  Gotta get my Jesus music on.

7.  Favorite song? There is no one favorite.  I have weekly favorites.  Neon Moon by Brooks & Dunn may be my fave of all time though.

8.  Favorite movie?  Love Actually but there are plenty of others I enjoy. 

9.  Books? Pride & Prejudice... the Harry Potter series... The Guardian by Nicholas Sparks...yeah I'm that girl.

10.  Favorite food? Rice... It goes with everything.  Home fried potatoes are a close, close second.

11.  What is your biggest pet peeve? People slurping their food.  Also when people feel like it's necessary to one-up other people they're talking to.  These same people tend to be loud and unnessarily demanding.  I apologize if I'm stereotyping here....      

12.  When did you meet your husband? We knew of each other since 2003-2004 but we didn't really get to know one another until 2006.  Married 6 years in a few days! :)

I think some of y'all might get a good chuckle at this. Feel free to copy and paste these, add on some foolish questions about your first boyfriends or whatever, and share on Facebook so your friends can take the quiz HA!

  3. I love you boo, more than you'll ever know! Just a word to the wise that I HAD A HARD TIME filling out those questions about myself. It definitely made me pause for some internal reflection! It made me question whether or not I was living my life to the fullest by not allowing myself to enjoy things to the greatest degree. I too, shared an office with someone special for two years. I found out your love of red bull and iced coffee (at that time, 3 splendas!), how you only like certain flavors of starbursts and you are one of those weird people that don't like chocolate. I know that you LOVE fall like me and will not turn down some of my pumpkin bread. You have switched from bud light to mich ultra but it depends on your company while drinking. Rhonda's stuffed peppers are the bomb! Of course sharing them on your bday in your company didnt hurt either. You love those close to you something fierce, but sometimes are shady and that's just fine. You have more self discipline than I will ever have. You are beautiful, intelligent, but most of all you have a huge heart, and that always humbles me and makes me want to be a better person. So, no, I probably couldn't fill out all those questions about you either. What we have is more important than some stupid questions and always will be.
