We were high school sweethearts. We are absolutely a couple who has "done life" together. We moved in together when we were 18, we got engaged when we were 19, and married when we were 20. We sat in infertility clinics together, we've cried together in emergency rooms after miscarriages, we've sat at our dining room table and filled out adoption paperwork together.
We JUST celebrated our 10 year wedding anniversary, three apartments, two townhomes, two houses, three dogs, two cats, and two VERY adorable boys later and his face is still the face I wanna slam cake into! So, I decided to ask him 10 questions about me to see just how well he knows me. Here's what happened.
1. What's my favorite food?
Mike's Answer: "Cereal."
I don't even know how to respond to this one. I would have said pancakes but he's right, I do eat an awful lot of cereal!
2. What's one food I hate?
Mike's Answer: "I don't know."
I asked him to at least GUESS, he responded: Liver and fried onions
I can't make this up… as disgusting as THAT sounds, summer sausage is what comes to my mind. It stinks… I'm not a fan.
3. What's one cause I really care about?
Mike's Answer: "ANOTHER I don't know."
I again asked him to guess: Adoption
This is VERY accurate, both of our boys are adopted, although my first thought was suicide prevention. Both are VERY near and dear to my heart.
4. Where was I born?
Mike's Answer: "California."
I took this a little further and followed up with "What town" he was right! Redding, California baby!
5. What's my favorite thing about you?
Mike's Answer: "Nothing, you can't stand me."
My husband can be a real sarcastic dick sometimes. AND that's why I love him. He makes me smile and laugh ALL the time.
6. What is my dream job?
Mike's Answer: "I don't know."
This is right :) I really don't know!
7. What's my favorite color?
Mike's Answer: "All of them."
See… that sarcasm is never dead folks. Never dead. Pink would have been the correct answer.
8. What's one thing I'm really bad at?
Mike's Answer: "Cleaning."
Yup. He nailed that one... sadly!
9. What's one thing I'm really good at?
Mike's Answer: "I don't know, LOTS."
Thanks, babe! So glad you have so much faith in my abilities to do all of the things... except clean :) I would have said something simple like doing my nails.
10. What is my biggest insecurity?
Mike's Answer: "I don't know."... again.
Really, this is correct. Not because he or I couldn't think of any but I have so many we weren't sure which one bothers me most.
CONCLUSION: 6/10 correct! Not surprised at all, Mike knows me pretty well. The ones he got wrong surprised me mostly because they felt so simple… really, my favorite food and color? Really, babe!? Writing this article really showed me that when that love is real, so many thing are trivial and they love you anyway because you are you.
