Ooh, seems fun: Ask me anything

I know I am totally stealing this, but it seems like too much fun to resist!

How did you and your H meet?  How long did you date/engaged before getting married?  How long before LO arrived?

DH and I met in high school choir/musical.  He was in grade 12, I was in grade 9(scandelous!). We got engage 4 years later and got married 2 years after that.  DD was born after 3.5 years of marriage. All together we had our 10th "anniversary" in April.

How did you decide on DD's name? (I love it, BTW).

songstress503

Dh and I started talking abby names before we were even officially engaged, but we would rarely agree.  Sometimes we would agree on a name for a few months and then we would fall out of love with it. In fact I actually started to fall out of love with our boy name ( Liam, I felt it was becoming too popular) during my pregnancy, so it was probably a good thing she turned out a girl.

As for Evelyn: A few years ago I was working with a girl who told a story about her Great- Aunt Evie, short for Evelyn, and I was in love.  I came home and told DH and he loved it too.  I have a habit of calling everyone by a nickname so we were glad to have a built in nickname from birth.  We call her Evie most of the time and plan to for as long as she likes it.  I feel that she has great options.  Evie is adorable for a baby or girl, but she also has the professional option of Evelyn built in.

But now, Evelyn is rising in the charts and I am getting parinoid! Everyone stop using my name!  I am kind of particular about the popularity of my children's names.  I do not want them to be one of 3 in their class, they need to be unique.

How old we're you when you had your first kiss?

14, with my DH

I think it's neat when HS sweet hearts stay together for life..it's sweet.  However, I'm always curious...do you ever feel like you "missed out"?  I don't mean that in a bad way...I just know there's no way in heck I would've ever stayed with the first guy I dated.  But the fact that you all have stayed together, to me it's fascinating.

Fair question:

No I really don't, I know people don't understand but I guess I am monogomous by nature. I feel incredibly blessed in fact.  I have watched my frineds get thier hearts broken on numerous occassions, and eveytime I thank God for my DH.  I have never had my heart broken or had a guy use me, I am just thankful.  Even my Mom is incredulous that I have only slept with one man.  People ask, " how do you know if he is any good". I am satisfied and becuase we "learned" everything together we have no preconcieved notions of waht any kind of intimacy should be.  We are on the same level. I am blessed to have had such a great first boyfriend, not everyone has that privilage.

My lack of curiosity probably has something to do with my personality. Neither DH or I have a crazy instinct.  I could careless to go to a club or go out to party.  Don't get me wrong, we are social butterflies, but we somehow skipped the desire to be wild! I have been perfectly happy beahaving like I am 30 since I was 18, it's just how I am.

  Because we have grown-up together I really feel that DH is my "other-half". in some ways I am indetachable from him, we have sort of merged.  Don't worry though it's not in some creepy dependant way, such a peaceful co-existance.

WOW!  To be honest, I'm jealous! LOL!  To have such a connection with someone and know that you know that you know, there's no one else for you, that's awesome.

What kind of personalyity does your Evie have (girly, tomboy)? How can you tell? Is that how you pictured her to be?

songstress503

Evie is a little Diva! She has a pretty big temper and really likes things her way.  She is definitely a Mommy's/Daddy's girl, she is often unhappy if anyone else holds her.  But is a total flirt! She will smile and scrunchy face at anyone who talks to her, especially men. She is a real extrovert and performer, so long as she feels safe.

She seems to like purple best ( cause I can so tell :P) and seems to love her shoes 9 to chew on anyway).  But she has no chacne but to be a girly girl as I am so much one myself.

 Everyone who knows me will tell you I had to have a girly-girl, and I think she is leaning that way. She is a bit more high-maintenance than I expected, but it is just part of her personality.
