* How you and your FI met

We both worked at Home Depot as cashiers. Almost love at first sight.

* What was your favorite date?

Either our picnic in Brown County IN or the fancy meal he reserved for us for after he proposed to me. We got free dessert and champagne too!

* What are some of your hobbies?

Scrapbooking, reading, watching movies, researching superhero stories, coloring, playing cornhole, baseball, soccer, playing the flute, singing...

*Do you want children? How many? Names?
2-3. Robert Allen and Fiona Mae for certain. We have a bunch of other possibilities. If we have another boy, his name would be Theodore. He picked the other girl name and I can't remember which one we both liked best. He's a good name-picker.

fun!

1, at our synagogue. we did a summer training program together and were in the same small group!

2, we just had an awesome date a couple of weeks ago, it was pretty normal. movie and dinner but we had so. much. fun. because we saw hunger games, i had been soo busy i hadn't had time to see it so the fact that we had time to see it and then we went out for drinks and apps after and just spent quality time together NOT talking about the wedding but just talking about us and our future together so honestly the best date we had in while.

3, reading, dancing, going to the beach (not a hobby but something i love) being with close friends/family

4, YES, 4...names. we have talked about Sabina for a girl, Leo and Zev for boys. but we'll see when the time comes!

My FI and I met at a party at my friend's house when I was 19 (about 9 1/2 years ago). We dated on and off for a couple of years but both decided that we had more growing up to do. Fast forward to four years later and I was at a restaurant on a date...and so was he!! I hadn't seen him or spoken to him in four years but he followed me outside and asked if he could call me. He brought me to breakfast the next morning...and the rest is history!! :-)

Our favorite date of all time was a couple of years ago when we both decided to play hooky from work on a really nice day and drove up to a beautiful river with huge rocks in it. We climbed the rocks and sunbathed all day, completely alone in nature. It was perfect!

Our biggest hobby these days is renovating and restoring our house that we bought last year. It was built in 1900 and we're loving the process of restoring it to its original glory!! I also read every chance I get!!!

We are still up in the air regarding kids. We probably will have them but we're not in a rush and wouldn't mind terribly if it didn't end up happening. The truth is, we're more comfortable with cats and dogs! If we do end up having kids, we both love the names Thomas, Josephine, and Francesca (we're old fashioned!!).

Fun questions! :-)

midgetthemighty · May 2012

Hose, have you read the books? They're amazing! I loved the movie too but the book, as usual, was better.

<div>
</div><div>YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! they were awesome! I know, i feel like the movie was written and filmed for an audience that has read the books. when we left the theater FI was a little confused about different parts and when i explained the back round provided in the books it all made more sense. and the other issue for me was that the books are told from katniss's point of view and the movie isn't and so it leaves out all of the inner dialog. but still good!</div>

Posted by amandaf6383[/QUOTE]

Same situation! I left off the last part of the Robert Allen because it's his grandfather's full name. So our first boy would have four names. I have always loved the name Theodore. When he's little we can call him Teddy until he gets old enough to hate it. ;)

amandaf6383 · May 2012

I would definitely call him Teddy and not Theo!

daria24 · May 2012

1. We worked at the same company. I was the receptionist and he was the web designer. He used to visit the candy jar on my desk every day but didn't say a word to me for more than 5 months.

2. After 6+ years it's hard to pick a favorite (or even determine what exactly a "date" is) but I would say our first date. We initially met just to have a drink, and that turned into dinner, and then a movie, and then a post dinner-drink, and then making out on the corner on 54th & Broadway for a long time.

3.Cooking, traveling, napping, training for a half-marathon

4. No kids. Neither of us have any need/desire to have children. I think there is something defunct with my biological clock, I literally feel nothing looking at babies.

The first time he took me to see his house that he had gutted and reconstructed.... it was just an amazing night.

ECOlson · May 2012

How we met:
We don't remember the first time we met, but since we went to the same junior high, we assume it was sometime during 7th grade. We re-met in our hometown during the summer of 2009 when we were out with mutual friends from high school.

Favorite date:
The roadtrip we took to Michigan to a friend's wedding last summer - on the way we went stopped in Chicago and went on a tour of Wrigley Field and had an awesome time in the city in general.

Hobbies:
I love to read, run, work out, cook, bake, travel, learn about the Spanish language (I teach it, but I always love learning more, especially about how the language developed from Latin), and I'd like to start learning French and Italian sometime.

Children? Names?
Yes, we want two. We haven't thought a whole lot about names, but if we have a boy we'd like to incorporate our father's names somehow.

AlliJae · May 2012

* How you and your FI met: Freshmen year of high school. Freshmen get to know you party. Best friends in high school. Didn't date until college.

But I like Kaylee and Tenley a for girls and Trey for boy and Taylor for a boy or a girl.

LoveYouB · May 2012

* How you and your FI met
We grew up down the road from each other, he was my older sister's bestfriend since middle school (he is two years older than me) so I never hung out with them really until senior year when our groups of friends really combined. My mom was always joked about how my sister should marry him but he's too short (bc she is super tall) and once we started dating we all say its so weird it took so long bc he's always been right down the road!

* What was your favorite date?
Our first date-we went rockclimbing together and it was my first time. We just laughed the whole time and had a blast.

* What are some of your hobbies?
Love being outside (with FI!) hiking, boat/canoeing, shopping, being a beach bum, scrapbooking, and being crafty.

*Do you want children? How many? Names?
Yes. A boy then girl haha - Kaleb Andrew and Kenly Mae

abunger · May 2012

* How you and your FI met
Mutual friend invited us both to meet her up at the bar. Neither of us wanted to go, but she pestered us both enough that we did. Hit it off immediately.

* What was your favorite date?
I think the best is yet to come, but my fav so far was the night he took me ice skating. St. Louis in summer = hot as balls. He had me close my eyes, drove to a local ice skating rink, and we spent the evening getting lapped by 12 year olds. Awesomeness.

* What are some of your hobbies?
What are those (hobbies)? Working out. Perhaps I'll find some more post-retirement.

*Do you want children? How many? Names?
Yes. Not sure.

niknik15 · May 2012

* How you and your FI met: 'Pimps and hoes' themed birthday party, but we didn't start dating till we met again in Astronomy class

* What was your favorite date? We went to an Italian restaurant for our first real date and everything went wrong. FI squirted a lemon seed in my cleavage, there was a hair in my food, and my lab partner was our waiter who wanted to talk to me the whole time about class. We laugh all the time about that date.

* What are some of your hobbies?: Anything artistic. Clay, drawing, photography, jewelry making etc.

*Do you want children? How many? Names? : Yes, 2. Benjamin and either Miriam or Naomi

[Deleted User] · May 2012

How we met:

We met at work and I was never thought of him as anything other than an awesome co-worker. We started hanging out with our co-workers together and soon found ourselves pairing up! After that, we started going out.

Favorite date:
We love going to baseball games and it was a rainy cold night at the ballpark. I brought the snuggie just for me but offered to share, of course. So there we were all hugged up in the little snuggie and I look up and see us on the 'Kiss Cam'! Great date and I always smile about it.

Hobbies:
Running, zumba, hiking, disc golf, golf, arts and movies.

Children? Names?
We don't know yet when or if we'd like children.

chelseamb11 · May 2012

Well we met in high school French class but really didn't talk (we thought eachother was weird). We reconnected via Facebook a few years ago b/c I had written happy birthday on his SIL's wall.

I Love your first date story. Probably awkward then but such a fun memory!!

kimiandgary · May 2012

* How you and your FI met: Match.com. Woohoo!

* What was your favorite date? Our third date. We went to dinner and then walked through a park. We danced in the rain, sat and talked on a bench.. it was like a movie.

* What are some of your hobbies?: Softball, hockey, ice skating, photography and cooking

*Do you want children? How many? Names? : Yes and ASAP. I want 3, FI wants 2. Girls will have the middle name of Anne (its a traditional in my family) and we like Lucy or Grace. Boy will most likely be Calvin Brenden and we will call him Cal. If we have twins (like I hope) they would be Natalee and Nolan.

HarperBargo · May 2012

* How you and your FI met

We actually met through a mutual friend who tried putting us together in January 2007. As soon as she met me she knew we would be perfect together. It wasn't till one fate filled night at Pub Trivia that we started talking and he asked me out but that wasn't until Sept. 2009.

* What was your favorite date?

Fi surprised me with tickets to Cincinnati Pops perform Disney music. It was amazing! I am a huge Disney fan and I know Fi can get sick of it because he grew up in Orlando.

* What are some of your hobbies?

Traveling, figure skating, sand v-ball, and keeping up with the dogs.

*Do you want children? How many? Names?
Most likely but not for sometime. We really want to enjoy eachother and being married. We both love to travel and have a list of places to go before we have kids. Two would be the ideal number for us.

caitlintaylor07 · May 2012

How we met:

We actually met online via PlentyofFish. He was new here (he's military) and I was a single mom to two kids. We hit it off from the first time we talked and met the day after. We've been inseparable ever since.

Favorite date:
FI proposed on Easter in front of my whole extended family- then took me to a Ranger's baseball game (I am a HUGE Ranger's fan and it was our first time going together).

Hobbies:
I'm a professional photographer so it's not really a hobby, but it's what i'm passionate about. I also read, play with my children, and cook new things. We are also big DIIY-ers.

Children? Names?
I have two by a previous marriage. Bryson is 4 and Greyson is 14 months.

We would like one more and I am PRAYING for a girl. I like Ella for a girl. I'd like to stick with the -on for boys, so Hudson or Branson.

Yes, it was VERY awkward. If we hadn't known each other before that happened then it probably would have been the end of our relationship. But now we have a good laugh any time we are squeezing a lemon into water and a seed goes flying.

brittneyh4 · May 2012

* How you and your FI met

Oh, at a bar. It's uber romantic (sarcasm). But actually, it was kind of neat. I just broke off my wedding with my exFI and went to the local bar with friends to get out of the house and loosen up, it was the day I was supposed to be married. Well FI had just kicked his ex wife out of their house (she cheated) and he went to the bar with friends as well. He came up and said hi, and we just hit it off. Four months later we were officially dating (waiting for the divorce to be final, and I was SUPER leery, but he was 100% done).

* What was your favorite date?

Definitely our first date, and third anniversary. He recreated our first date up at a lodge, we wore the same clothes (dress and he a button up and shorts) and we went and had dinner, took a walk around the lodge, except at our third anniversary he proposed!

* What are some of your hobbies?

Hunting and other various shooting activities (guns/bows at targets), camping, hiking, anything outdoors really.

*Do you want children? How many? Names?
Two or three, whatever the good Lord gives us! For boys we like Otto and Hunter, girls Claire and Audrey. Not sure on middle names.
