Cute little survey I found

Yes, I'm a sucker for these interesting surveys about each other so here it is!


How old are you & Evan?
We both are 24, Evan turns 25 in 4 months though...

How long have you been together?
Almost 2 years in October, been married for 6 months.

What are your occupations?
I work for Rossignol as a dealer service representative working with the Midwest, Evan works for Valley Mental Health they deal with ex-convicts who have drug addictions and they get them back on track. Basically he is amazing and saves lives everyday!

How did you meet?
Well...this is a long story. We went to elementary and middle school together so we have known each other for awhile. We went to different high schools and colleges and have always been facebook friends. Evan started emailing me just asking how things were, and we ended up going to dinner one night and it was magic from there!

How did you get engaged?

For our 10 month anniversary he took me to a really nice dinner up at Snowbird at the Steak pit that was outside and it was so beautiful and as we were driving down the canyon he asked if I had been back to our elementary school. It was on our way home so we decided to swing by to play around on the playground. Once we got there we turned a corner and I saw this table and chairs with candles and flowers and told him how cute that someone set that up. I was completely clueless he was about to propose and I turned around and he proposed while I was screaming and jumping up and down. Needless to say I said yes, and yes he did have to do his speech twice because I missed like 90% of it the first time. I will remember it forever!

Tell us about your wedding day:
We got married at Tuscany (the restaurant not the city) and it was all the in morning/afternoon which made for an early morning. I wasn't nervous at all until like 5 minutes from the location and I realized wow I was getting married how cool! I was a touch late so I basically ran in threw on my dress and got married. It was hands down the prettiest most amazing day ever.

Define Love:
Love is like a cool drink of water on a hot day. It's refreshing and comforting. It's always patient and kind, and you know for certain when it's real and the good kind of love. You can see when people are in love, they have a glow about them. It is the best feeling to have to be in love everyday.

What is the toughest part of being in a committed relationship?
The only thing that is hard is adjusting to living with someone. Evan and I didn't live together before getting married. So getting down making dinner and both of us keeping the house clean was tough maybe the first week but after that it doesn't feel hard at all. It comes easy, plus Evan helps and tells me when I need to do things as well. A marriage is a partnership, both people need to help and contribute. If Evan is doing something, I can always help with small jobs to make the big job go by fast.

What is the best part?
The best part about being married and in love is waking up to my best friend everyday. Coming home to him everyday and spending every moment with him. We laugh on a regular basis, we go shopping in sweats and laugh at each other when we know we both look terrible. Everyday is an adventure.

What is the best day the two of you have had together?
There was a Sunday when we took our dogs hiking. It was so relaxing and so wonderful and everything was so bright and walking with Evan through the woods was so peaceful. We went and got lunch after sitting outside and it honestly felt like the most perfect day.

What makes you different from other couples?
I think everyone has a different kind of love. Evan and I have the best kind. We love the outdoors, skiing, running, backpacking (hopefully we will see), boating, we love doing things together that we have interest in. Plus this keeps you active and finding so many things you can do together as a couple. I love doing sports with Evan because it makes things so much more fun then rather sitting inside when Utah is such a beautiful state to have fun in. I also feel like Evan has helped me mature to not freak out over little issues. Also, we love each other for our quirks. I think everyone has special traits and that's what makes every person special. Especially my husband.

What is your favorite thing to do together?
Swimming, boating, skiing, running, backpacking (we will see), badmitten, hiking, playing with our adorable dogs, going to coldstone in our sweats, getting stickers to put on our cars, walking to the park to play fetch, if Evan is involved I love it.
Do you have a song?
"Then" Brad Paisley, our first song married!

What is the most essential element of making it?
Trust, patience, and love. All these things are completely intertwined. Without patience you lose love, without love you lose trust. It's bitter cycle. Also marrying your best friend and having a million things in common and laugh your way till you're 80!

What are your hopes for the future?
Like 10 years children probably, traveling the world together just the two of us, every year growing more in love.

Anything else the world needs to know about love?
Yes, your husband should be your best friend. They hold your heart and I can 100% say that my husband is my best friend and the best thing that has ever happened to me and I hope everyone can experience what I have.

What a cute little survey. It's so weird to think that when all the existing grandkids are kind of "all grown up" that you guys will just barely be starting. So exciting!

We don't refer to you as "Ken and Barbie" for nothing!
So sweet, you make the rest of us feel inadequate!
So glad that you are both as happy as you appear!
We can wait on more grandkids.....
