I've been "Husband Tagged"!

Meet my Hot Hubby - Ben Potter!

Well, I really think this is a ploy by my younger sister to get me to post more. She's always telling me that I don't post enough. She's probably right. Still, I am the mother of four children, isn't that some kind of excuse?! I guess not. So here it goes - info on me and my husband including all those juicy tidbits you didn't really want to know (just kidding).

1 - Where did you meet?

We met in Rexburg, Idaho in the fall of 2000. I was barely 18 and Ben walked his sister, Jenn, back to our apartment. She was my roommate at the time. And we were introduced.

2 - How long did you date before you were married?

Well, we were actually just friends for quite some time while we both dated other people. I came to think of him as my older brother. Then after a few break-ups we went out together. This was around the middle of February 2001. We were engaged in March and married in August of that same year. So I guess you could say we were dating for about six months before we were married.

3 - How long have you been married?

A little over seven years! It goes by fast!

4 - What does he do that surprises you?

When he goes on business trips he'll come back with clothes for me! It surprises me because if I were in his shoes I'd probably be buying clothes for me and not for him! (FYI: He has really good taste!)

5 - What is your favorite quality about him?

I love his willingness. He is willing to do just about anything anyone asks of him. He's the first to help out and the last to leave most of the time. It's a quality that I've always admired and am trying to emulate - it's not easy for me, but it seems to come naturally to him.

6 - Does he have a nickname for you?

Yes, but it's special and I'd like to keep it that way!

7 - What's his favorite color?

Green, I think!

8 - What's his favorite food?

He loves sushi and anything Japanese including sticky rice, gyoza, yakisoba, & okanomiyaki.

9 - What's his favorite sport?

Basketball, especially Potter basketball

10 - Who said "I love you" first?

Honestly, I can't remember, but we've loved each other for so long now I don't think it really matters.

11 - When and where was your first kiss?

Our first kiss was in the middle of a snowball fight in Rexburg, Idaho.

12 - What's your favorite thing to do as a couple?

We love to talk together, especially after the girls have gone to bed so it's quiet and we aren't interrupted.

13 - Do you have kids? How many?

Yes, we have four daughters: Natalie, Lucy, Karalie, & Camilla.

14 - What's a hidden talent he has?

Well, most people don't know that he's a really good juggler!

15 - How old is he?

29

16 - What's his favorite type of music?
Country, especially old classic country

17 - What do you admire most about him?

His ability to interact with people. He is so good at making people around him feel at ease and happy. He's also really good at handling people in difficult situations. I remember when a random lady on the subway got offended at something he said in our conversation. I remember feeling like it was none of her business and getting ready to tell her off. He didn't get mad, he just started talking with her and ended up having a really good conversation with her. It was pretty amazing to watch him just turn the whole situation around by using his positive influence!

18 - What's his favorite pastime?

He loves to go trap shooting and he's really good at it!

19 - Do you think he's going to read this?

Probably eventually. :0)

So anyone who is reading this, has a husband, and hasn't already done this is tagged! It gave me a good chance to reflect on my better half! Hope it is for you too!
