Ten on Tuesday

This week's 10-on-Tuesday is about "dating". My "dating" history differs from some, for my I met my husband when I was 19 years old. So that was the last time I went on a "first date"! But, here it goes!

1. What is your ideal best date?

It completely depends on my mood! Since we don't go out a lot, thought, I would have to say going out to our favorite sushi restaraunt - and finishing off the evening by taking a nice walk.

However, there are days where my ideals date consists of going for a long-afternoon-hike, coming home, grilling out in the back yard with a cold beer, and starting a fire. (and roasting marshmallows is a must)
2. How long does it take you to get ready to go on a date?
Well from shower to out the door -- probably an hour. If clothes didn't matter, it'd be 30. But I usually spend an excessively, unnatural amount of time trying on numerous outfits.
3. What would you wear on the date?
Depends on where we are going -- right now I'd say a sundress.

4. If you are married, how often do you go on dates?
Probably once every 2 weeks? It kind of depends.
5. What was your worst date?
One time Ryan & I went on a "golfing date"....(this was before we were married) And he was trying to nicely instruct me and offer advice on how I could better hit the hall and make it go further than 5 feet in front of me (I was struggling)

Stubborn-Abby didn't like being told how to hit the ball.

To make a Long story short.....my unneccessary stubborn-attitude ended up with us parking the golf cart after 8 holes (instead of 18). We decided to hit up the range before I go on the course again.

I have since improved ;)

6. Do you/Did you kiss on your first date?
I did kiss my husband on my 1st date. He was even polite enough to ask :)

7. If married, how long before you knew he/she was the one? If single, how long before you know if the person is marriage material?

It was definitely when we moved to Tucson that I knew for sure he was the one. I had left all my family and friends, moved across the country to this practically unknown-- and I was still happy to be with him!

Also, I knew things would work since we survived 4 days in a U-Haul truck, without one argument.

8. Do you prefer day dates or night dates?
Night dates. Unless we're at the beach. But, there's not beaches in Tucson....
9. How old were you when you first were allowed to date?
Probably 16?
10. What is the most embarassing moment you have had on a date?
I was at a restaurant, and I chose this sauce for my stir-fry (or whatever it was) that I was advised "That pepper sauce is extremely spicy"
 
However, I'm stubborn...so used it anyways.
 
It was so freaking hot, that I almost couldn't breath. My nose started running profusely, I had to leave the table and go blow my nose. I was absolutely miserable. And looked like a complete fool.

Ha, love the pepper sauce story. I can see myself doing that. :)

Yep, if you spent 4 days in a uhaul, driving across the country, and didn't get into any fights, that was def a great litmus test for the relationship. :)

I knew he was the one that weekend when we were at the cabin in January. I just saw something special between you two.

The pepper story is too funny! I remember my first date with your dad! We were at a school dance and I was having a glass of 7-up at the concession stand and it somehow backed up my throat and squirted out my nose! I wanted to die! How did he ever stay with me?
Gahh!

What is your color?

Green My favorite color ever! I have to control myself to not purchase too many green things. If I had no control, my house would be green. My kitchen would be lime-themed. With greenery everywhere. My bathrooms would be green. My bedroom would be green. You would all feel nauseated-green after entering my home. (So I don't have a green-themed home) Many things I love are green, such as: Spinach (I eat it a minimum twice a day usually) My weding color was green. (clover green) Limes (I have at least one time a day) Grass. I love the feel of grass, especially since I see it so rarely in AZ (except in my neighborhood that has amazing landscapers with grass-galore) Palm trees. Any tree. Christmas trees. I love Christmas Green Beer. I think the green beer on St. Patty's Day tastes better. My favorite color of eyes. When I was in 9th grade, I so badly wanted to get green contacts. But they made me keep my brown eyes. Diet Mountain Dew (my guilty pleasure) Granny Smith...

A weekend of the great outdoors

As I am preparing for my return to the real world tomorrow, I feel a strong sense of dread. As I won't have a weekend or free week for a long while! Instead of focusing on that.......I'm sharing a few snapshots from our awesome weekend! This weekend we were in Big Lake, AZ -- which is about 20 miles from the New Mexico border (just 5 1/2 hours from our house). (last weekend we were in Parker Canyon...which I will blog about another day) We camped from Friday-Monday, which was the perfect length of time. The temperatures were a great escape from hot Tucson. In fact...it was VERY cold at night. It was in the low 30's at night, 60's during the day. The trout fishing was incredible. Here's a few snapshots: Home Sweet Home for the weekend! Look at the giant tree I cut down!!! Wow!! (Okay, this was posed...) But...Ryan did teach me how to use a wood-saw! There were tons of dead/fallen trees lying around. So we cut all our firewood for the weekend! I felt very ...

One Confused Lady

Yesterday morning was packed with a session of cross training.....rushed home to shower and get professional-looking....headed across town for an interview.....kicked butt at my interview...."bopped" over to our house to see the progress of the build......headed to the "design center" to sign more paperwork.... (Side note: I cannot get over just how much paperwork is involved in building a house. Holy Hannah. And we haven't even closed !!! Iy-yi-yi....Those lovely people in history who got law-suit-happy.....God bless 'em.) Yesterday was a good day! So here's a little humor for your Thursday. A little thought. A little depth.....( A little cynical rant ) Afterwards, I decided to head to one of my favorite places to peruse.... Target. But my experience at Target was far from fun, relaxing, or pleasant. Just confusing. Loud. Crazy. Despite many screaming children-temper tantrums.... Which is common and un-escapable. Although screaming chi...
