What is the most interesting thing you've learned about each other? Her: The respect that he has for older people, and that he eats his white rice plain. No gravy, just plain rice. Him: I always knew that she had a lot of shoes, but damn when we actually moved in together OMG!!! It’s a house full of shoes; no one person can wear all those shoes in a lifetime.
What is one of your favorite memories together?
When did you know he/she was the one?
Her: Miami for our birthdays.
Her: When I saw how he was with his grandma Pearl.
Him: The funniest and the weirdest thing is one night as I’m taking out ice cream for me and her, I turned around and she’s putting it in the microwave.
Him: I knew when I started saying no to overtime on my job because I wanted to come home more often to spend time with her.
What do you love most about each other?
what's next for you two?
Her: His aggression and when he pushes me to be stronger. Him: I would say that she always has had a good head on her shoulders and would never settle.
Her: Hawaii — let's see if I can get him on that long flight! Him: Definitely more vacations and when I retire for the both of us to move to Florida.
