1. Where did you meet your spouse and did you instantly know it was love? We knew each other before hand, growing up in the same town, but we "met" at a wedding. My mom played match maker and had my cousin (almost 7 feet tall) carry me across the dance floor and put me on my (now) husband's lap during dinner, where he was sitting with his grandparents. He played cool and said " I was just telling Papa that I was hoping a beautiful woman would appear on my lap". It was instant love. I went home that night, called my bff and said that I was going to marry this man. And I did.
2. What is your favorite room in your house? I like our playroom b/c it's huge and organized and really functional.
3. Can you wiggle your ears? I can try, I can feel them "move", but I am not sure anyone will see them move.
4. What is your evening ritual? DS goes to bed around 7 which is awesome! Then I usually nest a little, catch up on emails, etc. I try and to at least one thing productive, although I am beat! I have a bowl of (homemade) ice cream everynight, pnv, watch some tv, and off to bed around 10.
5. How many hours of sleep do you need to function? I need a lot. 7, 8 maybe! Times are going to change though....

This one time in band camp... We went to high school together and were in the marching band. We crushed on each other off and on for 10 years, and then when we finally saw each other again after a 2-year or so gap, we pretty much new we were done. We got married 13 months later.

Marchmama11 · January 2011

1) I met my spouce through a friend during the summer between grade 11 and 12 (he had just graduated I had just finished grade 11). We were very young but yes I was pretty sure at that time that it was love. 8 years later (almost 3 years married) I am damn sure it's love!

We met in the hospital. As soon as I saw him, I was in love. He was gorgeous. After our first date, I knew I was going to marry him. I was on another forum at that point, and I posted all about it and I said I was going to marry him. I did.

I'm a mom. I have had to learn to function on 2 hours of sleep. Ideally, I feel best when I get 6-8 hours of sleep.

ashleybtc1 · January 2011

1. Where did you meet your spouse and did you instantly know it was love?

We met a party he was having at his house, he was 23 and I was 18. Someone told me that he thought I was cute and being super shy back in the day I went out of my way to avoid him. At one point we ran into each other and he made me show him my ID (probably cause there were a lot of girls there that were underage...like 17, but still) and when I went to leave (I was still on curfew) he asked if we could get together sometime. I told him to call me the next time he was having a party and I'd come...he called me the next night. We tell people our marriage was a result of underage drinking. We've been together for 9 years now.

The nursery. We just remodeled it for out little one this year so its the cleanest, newest, and best decorated. I walk by and just get a wamr fuzzy feeling.

skio · January 2011

1. Where did you meet your spouse and did you instantly know it was love?

We were introduced by a mutual friend at a bar in college. And hell no, I didn't know it was love "instantly". I don't believe in love at first sight and I also wasn't interested in a boyfriend, so it took him some time to win me over.

2. What is your favorite room in your house?

Living room.

3. Can you wiggle your ears?

No.

4. What is your evening ritual?

I work weird hours so it depends on the day. Most often, I get home at 8:15, shower, eat and feed the animals, watch an hour of TV, wash up/brush teeth, go to bed between 11 and 11:30.

5. How many hours of sleep do you need to function?

I need a LOT of sleep. If I let myself sleep, I'd sleep for 10 hours straight every night. But to function? I'd say 4-5. To function without being a total betch? 7-8. lol.

LadyXaverian · January 2011

1. Where did you meet your spouse and did you instantly know it was love?

We met online, but not on a dating website. I sent him a question about a website he had created, he responsed, we emailed for YEARS before meeting in person. Once we transition from email to phone calls, I was pretty sure he was "the one", and once we met in person, I would have said yes had he proposed on that very first day.

2. What is your favorite room in your house?

Right now, the jury is out. We've just had the whole house repainted, the kitched in being renovated, so everything is pretty much in shambles. I'm guessing in a few weeks, it will be a tie between my new kitchen and the nursery.

3. Can you wiggle your ears?

Sure, if I'm moving them with my hands..

4. What is your evening ritual?

This question made me laugh. Um, I guess watch some tv/post online. Many nights I get a bubble bath before getting in bed. I used to read before going to sleep, but lately, it's been straight to sleep.

5. How many hours of sleep do you need to function?

I can get by on 5 or 6, but it ain't pretty. I'm a solid 8 hours kind of girl.

willowprincess · January 2011

we're in a studio apartment, so.....i like our only room

Phil&Corinna · January 2011

1. Where did you meet your spouse and did you instantly know it was love?

We met in high school, I was dating his friends younger brother. I was completely obsessed with the band Moist and I thought he looked like their lead singer, David Usher. So like a pp, lust at first sight for sure!!

At the end of H.S.; I heard that he'd got another girl pregnant and I felt that was it; no point in dreaming about him anymore.

7 years later, he added me to fb and after a few months of bugging me to go for a drink with him (and a really bad day on my part), I called him up and we basically were inseparable from then on... he started staying with me every night after about a week, moved into my apartment with me (officially) about 1.5 months later, bought our house together after 2 months and were engaged after 3. I couldn't be happier with how it's all worked out!! Big Smile

2. What is your favorite room in your house?

Probably our living room, the couch is especially comfy during pregnancy!!

3. Can you wiggle your ears?

No, and I've never wanted to...

4. What is your evening ritual?

FB, The Bump, FB, TB, FB, TB... I seriously check them both a thousand times per night between reading a book, "watching" tv with DH, floss, brush, Listerine, wash face, put in earplugs, read...sleep...

5. How many hours of sleep do you need to function?

I have been getting about 4-4.5 hrs (interrupted by pee breaks!!) for the past few months (I work at 6am but often don't get to bed until 11:30 or so) but I require a nap about 12-1pm (for at least 2 hours). Ideally, to feel really good and not drowsy at all, 7 at least, preferrably 8.

VTbride05:

1. Where did you meet your spouse and did you instantly know it was love?

We met at a nightclub called The Vogue...in the 70's it was an adult theatre lol. I knew it was love when he would drive the 45 mintues to see me in January/February with no heat in his truck!

2. What is your favorite room in your house?

Well, we are about to move...old house = bedroom because that's where my snoogle is. new house = the master bath because we will have a corner jacuzzi tub and I just can't wait to start soaking! (And I will be keeping the temp down, don't worry!)

yep! They're my big Italian ears!

5. How many hours of sleep do you need to function?

usually 6-7, 5 at the very least

Nyki06Wed43530 · January 2011

1. Where did you meet your spouse and did you instantly know it was love?We met on my first day of college (I was 18 and he was 21) at the same party. I knew it was lust but had no clue it was love. 2. What is your favorite room in your house?Probably my kitchen. We are in the process of renovating our entire house (repainting, redecorating.... everything) so it's not very "homey" at the moment which I hate. My kitchen is pretty much completely done and decorated though so it makes me happy that I have one room that looks nice. 3. Can you wiggle your ears?I am trying right now without success. 4. What is your evening ritual?My husband gets home and we watch something on Netflix (lately it has been either Lie to Me, My Name is Earl, or Clean House). Then we brush our teeth, go to the bathroom, he refills my humidifier and fluffs my pillows (yes I'm spoiled) and we go to bed! 5. How many hours of sleep do you need to function?A million! I am pretty sure I have high sleep needs which has been challenging during the pregnancy. I would say I function best with between 8-10 hours of sleep and usually get about 6. Luckily, peeing constantly throughout the night has at least slightly prepared me for all of the waking up I'll be doing with a newborn. That was fun! I hope you post again next Friday!

misskassielynn · January 2011

1. Where did you meet your spouse and did you instantly know it was love?

At our University. He had just graduated and he was my boss. I had to badger him for a long time to convince him it was worth the risk. I knew after about a week it was love.

2. What is your favorite room in your house?

Considering we only have two rooms, I would say the bedroom, because its comfiest, where the computers and crib are, and usually where DH is.

Haha no.

4. What is your evening ritual?

Put on my pjs, brush my teeth, get into bed, read for a while, then cuddle with DH.

1. Where did you meet your spouse and did you instantly know it was love?
The first time was at a party when we were 19. We both had SO's but neither were there. We ended up talking all night but never exchanged #'s or saw each other again until we were set up on a blind date when we were 26. We decided at the end of the BD we would be getting married. (strange coincedence is we made our first communion together, and in my home movie, DH is STARING at me for like 5 mins! but we didn't know each other then.)

We had the same student job in college, and were great friends almost instantly. A few months later, we started dating & moved in together almost at the same time.
