Re: GTKY- Significant Others
 
Our Baby Boy is due September 8, 2012
1. How old is your SO, Is he older or younger than you? We're the same age, he's just 4 months older, so I frequently remind him that he's old compared to me.
2. How did the two of you meet? In church when we were 8.
3. How did he propose? July 4, 2008. We had gone to this big boardwalk that we have with restaurants, shops and rides to have dinner and watch the fireworks with my family. I just knew he was going to propose, but when he didn't do it when I thought he was going to (at the beginning of the fireworks) I walked away to talk to my sister...when I turned back around to go to him, he was on his knee.
4. What does he do for a living? He works in IT.
5. Why will he make a good dad? Oh, the easier question would be why wouldn't he make a good dad, because there wouldn't be answer. He is very loving, and will do pretty much anything to make me happy, and he's going to be the same way with LO.
6. What qualities of his do you hope your baby inherits? His kindness, his patience and how genuine he is. I love that man.

7. Here's one of our maternity shots with DD that I just love
Carter Robert 7.18.08 | Brynn Sophia 5.24.10 | Reid Joseph 9.10.12 | Emerson Mae 1.27.14
1. How old is your SO, Is he older or younger than you? He is 29, about to be 30. He is 3 years younger than me.
2. How did the two of you meet? I worked at a Uni and he was a new student there (not a freshman). I was manning a table for anime and Linux groups and he was one of the few geeks interested. We were instant friends and there was an instant chemistry, but I was married. We were best friends for years, my marriage ended (had nothing to do with DH), and a year after that we started dating, got married and made babies.
3. How did he propose? It was pretty simple (and maybe a touch cliche), but he was so nervous and wonderful! Rose petals and candles everywhere, ice wine, and he wrote me a poem that made us both cry. He'd also found the *perfect* ring for me. I knew about its existence and wanted it so badly, but it was sold out everywhere. He even talked to custom jewelers about having it specially made. He had told me he tried and couldn't do it, but hoped that the substitute he found would make me happy. I of course told him the ring didn't matter nearly as much as spending my life with him. Then...he opened the box and there it was, perfect as ever. It turns out he'd tracked down 1 of 2 left in the entire country and had it shipped to him.
4. What does he do for a living? He is a programmer. His Masters is in User Interface Design, but it is hard to get a job in that without a lot of experience, so he is biding his time.
5. Why will he make a good dad? We already have a son and he is an amazing dad! He is so much fun, full of energy, constantly enamored, way into teaching. He is capable of being a disciplinarian (which surprises us both), but always in loving ways. He always puts our son first.
6. What qualities of his do you hope your baby inherits? I hope our kids have his constant awe and love of life. He has brought that back out in me, and so far DS has it in spades. I hope our kids get his gift for learning and teaching. I hope they get his skin that almost never burns in the sun (DS has it so far).
7. Post a pic! This is DH and DS on Father's Day, with DH proudly wearing the shirt DS and I made him last year.
2. How did the two of you meet? At a friends birthday party, I was the DD for my older sisters, and didn't know anyone. He was the shy guy we talked that night, then every other time we saw each other around town. We were both in relationships at the time, but a year later he admitted he wanted to be more than friends, and we were both single then, so we started dating. Four years later, here we are!
3. How did he propose? We bought a house together after living together for awhile, and the first night in the new house, he slipped me some "will you marry me" m&ms, and when I looked up, he was down on one knee. It was amazing
4. What does he do for a living? Firefighter
5. Why will he make a good dad? The best. He is going to have such a daddy's girl - I'm so excited to see his relationship with our daughter grow.

The day we went looking at reception venues and meeting with pastors, he proposed outside of our church under a large cross. I was so worried we would be late to our appointment that I rushed him. He proposed a second time with an upgraded ring under the Arch downtown. After a nice afternoon touring Busch stadium, we went to the Arch grounds, he got down on one knee and I said, "What are you doing? Get up we're already engaged." I ruined both of his proposals. It's become a joke around here.
4. What does he do for a living? He works for Citi-Group
5. Why will he make a good dad? Because of the way he loves God, and love me. Being a good husband will help him be a good parent. Plus, on our first date, he said, "my number two goal in life is to be a dad" it's something he's dreamed about.

He's 24, 6 months older than me
2. How did the two of you meet?
Our older brothers have been best friends for many years and we all hang out in the same social group. One night we were all going to an open mike night at a bar and the two of us started talking and just "clicked". We saw each other a few more times at parties and friends houses until he finally asked me out on a real date.
3. How did he propose?
Still waiting for that We've been together over 3 yrs. and have a wonderful, committed relationship. When we found out I was pregnant we decided to focus on preparing for the baby and getting ourselves ready to be parents rather than be distracted by worrying about getting married right away. We already consider ourselves a family, so the official ceremony can wait awhile.
4. What does he do for a living?

Because he's extremely excited about our son and is commited to being involved in our lives no matter what. He's a very silly, fun-loving person with endless patience and generosity for his friends and family. Every time we do something now he says "I can't wait to teach our son----"
6. What qualities of his do you hope your baby inherits?
His smile, blue eyes, thick curly hair, and intelligence. The only thing I'm hoping our son does NOT inherit is his ADHD.
7. Post a pic!
1) He's turning 30 in November. He's 2.5 years older than me.
2) I was working in the city where he was living. Turns out, we went to high school in small towns right near each other.
3) He hid a ring under a card in front of a huge Edible Arrangement for our anniversary. I was so excited about the chocolate strawberries, I didn't think to open the card. Eventually he was like, "Maybe you should read the cards now?" It must have killed him to watch me be so excited chowing down on strawberries while he was waiting.
4) He works in health care IT.
5) He's funny and patient and fun. He'll make a great dad because he balances out my personality so well.
6) I hope our little guy grows up respecting and treating women the way his dad treats me. I hope he's as logical as his dad, too.
7) I'm not on the computer with my pictures. Oh snap. He'd probably be upset if I posted his face on the internet anyway. :P

It was more of this knowledge from fairly on in our relationship that we would end up married if I moved to Florida to be with him (as at the time, I lived in IL).

His work ethic of always striving to do his best regardless of how others around him act. His confidence. His amazing hair, and eyes (though preferably in my colors!), and athletic ability.
