How I Met Craig

Saw this in a friend's Blog...loved it...wanted to share it with you all!

1.Where did you meet?
At the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo. He sold bear food...I sold giraffe food. We were 16 years old.

2.What was the first thought that went through your head when you met?
What a dork! I had to teach him to tally up the money we made for the day and make a new bank for the next day. I was in a rush because I was going out on a date. He was so slow to process and all I could think about was the date I was going on...funny thing is I don't even remember who the date was with now.

3.Do you remember what he/she was wearing?
A teal shirt with the zoo crew emblem khaki shorts and green and white adidas shoes. I am sure he must have been wearing undies and socks, too, but I don't recall!

4.Where was the first time you kissed this person?
At our friend Englebert's house. We were out on his deck.

5.Where did you go for your first date?
The Will Rogers Shrine.

6.How long did you know this person before you became a couple?
Three months.

7.How did he/she ask you out?
He didn't really...he just took me on a wild goose chase through his neighborhood and then we had birthday cake with his family...his sisters were celebrating their
9th and 12th birthdays. Now they are 30 and 33. Our daughter is older than his little sister was when we met!

8.Has this person ever proposed to you?
Of course! We got engaged 16 years ago on Thanksgiving weekend. He took me to the jeweler's on the way back college in Greeley. We bought the ring and when we got in the car he pulled it out and asked me to marry him!

9.Do you and this person have kids together?
The best ever! Emaleigh Rebekah who is ten and Caleb Craig who is seven.

10.Have you ever broken the law with this person?
Well I don't think so, but I never say never. I am sure we have been known to speed on occasion!

11.When was the first time you realized that you liked this person?
At the zoo's end of the summer picnic when I offered him my pickle!

12.Do you get along with his/her family?
Yes!

13.Do you trust this person?
With all of my soul!

14.Do you see her/him as your partner in your future?
I will be forever saddened if we aren't together.

15.What is the best gift she/he gave you?
Himself

16.What is one thing He/She does that gets on your nerves?
Waiting for him to get ready. His pacing is a little slower than mine...well a lot actually! You know that song "Waiting on Women" by Brad Paisley...well I think it should be called "Waiting on a Mann!"

17.Where do you see each other 15 years from now?
On a beach in Florida watching the waves crash in...sipping pepsi's on our lanai!

18.What causes the most arguments?
What arguments?!

19.How long have you been together?
21 years! On January 7th we will be celebrating our 14th wedding anniversary. We were just saying at dinner tonight..."where does the time go? It hardly seems possible we have been together so long. It seems like just yesterday we were falling in love!"

20.Are you Married?
Thanking God for this everyday!
