I saw this at Shalee’s and Barb’s today. What fun!

His age: 48, 6 months younger than me.

How tall is he: 6′ to my 5’7″ — a nice match. 🙂

How long have you been together (married): 27 years

How long did you know each other before you got together?: We had known each other about 5 1/2 months before he asked me out. It was another few months before we purposefully decided to make it exclusive (“go steady,” “go together,” whatever you want to call it), though it pretty much was even before.

What physical features attracted you to him first?: His brown eyes and hair — eyes about the color of brown M&Ms.

Eye color: Brown.

Hair color: Brown then, a lot of grey now. 🙂

Hair style: Short, neat, conservative.

Normal Outfit: He usually wears a shirt and tie and slacks to work. In the evenings he takes the tie off but doesn’t usually change. Saturdays or off days he usually wears cargo pants and a polo or golf type shirt. He doesn’t like t-shirts but has a couple of collarless shirts of a heavier knit that he likes.

How did you meet: We both worked at the library at college and met there. The whole story is here.

How serious is it: Very!!

Are you “in love”: Yes!

Do your parents like him: Yes, they did, very much.

Do his parents like you: I know his mom does. I think his dad did.

Do you trust him: Yes.

Would you share a toothbrush with him?: No! Even though we’ve shared all the same germs — that would just be gross for me.

Would he let you wear his pants?: I don’t think so…

Do you have a shirt of his that you sleep in?: No — I don’t think I’d fit. 😦

Do you like the way he smells?: I don’t think he does…..neither of us are into colognes.

Can you picture having kids with him?: Yes, I did — we have 3.

What bothers you the most about him?: I’m going to respectfully decline this one. 🙂 In the spirit of doing unto others as you’d like to have them do unto you — I wouldn’t like it if he posted my faults online.

Does he have a temper?: Yes, but it is not activated easily.

Are you happy to be with him?: Yes. 🙂

Does he embarrass you in public?: Not on purpose. I get embarrassed when he haggles prices with people. It’s amazing, though, how often he gets a lower price or a fee removed just by asking. He would probably love open markets in those countries where they expect to haggle.

Does he smoke or do drugs?: Nothing worse than ibuprofen and Tums.

Does he have any piercings?: No.

Any tattoos?: Nope.

Does he have any scars that you know of?: A few scattered here and there. He is the youngest of 4, and once when he was little, the kids were watching a magic show on TV. They decided the trick of poking knives into a box with someone in it looked like fun, so they tried it with Jim in the box. :O

Is he a Party dude or Stay at home?: We’re both pretty much stay-at-home types.

Is he Outgoing or Shy?: He’s a lot more outgoing than I am, but not life-of-the-party outgoing.

Does he love his mama?: Yes. 🙂

Would he hang out with you and YOUR friends?: He enjoys my friends, but if I am meeting one for lunch or something, he’ll decine to come along.

Sing?: He sings at church congregationally but not much otherwise. When he does, he makes up words in place of the ones he forgets. 🙂

Anyone reading is welcome to do this, too. Let me know if you do: I’d love to come read it. 🙂
