1. Where did you meet your husband?
At the first Ward function in our BYU singles ward in August 1998. Okay, that’s where we first SAW each other. He came over a few days later to get to know my sister better and ended up getting to know me better!

6.What is your favorite quality?
Just one? He has so many, but guess I’ll go with his good nature. He’s so mellow and easy-going; it offsets my neurosis. He’s my rock and I rely on him to be my stabilizing force, so I don’t spin out of control. He's also a great Dad, and he has no problem being silly with the kids. Its adorable. Oh, wait, I mean, it so.... rugged, yes, very rugged!!
3. How long have you been married?
We’re hitting the big 10 this April!

4. What does he do to surprise you?
On purpose? He brings me things from his trips, usually chocolate because he knows what a pig I am. However, unintentionally, he continually surprises me with the things he does, and his efforts to make me happy.

11. What is your favorite thing to do as a couple?
Exercise. We liked doing family walks, but now the kids refuse to walk, and we can’t leave ‘em behind. We like to go biking or walking together, but we need a babysitter for that. I guess our Triathlons are our favorite things to do together as a couple. Here we are after our first one together (his 3rd) in 2005- we've done it 3 consecutive years now!

Good for you knowing so much about Dan. It was fun to remember those dating days back when we were roommates and life was all about us. Look how far we have come!
That was fun to read. I love all the pictures you found of you two.
