This is the very first time I am linking up at Heavens to Betsy for her "The Guy Behind the Blog" link up and I'm really excited about it! I've always enjoyed reading these posts every month but always forgot to do my own. But I scheduled this one ahead so I would remember. I'm OCD like that. Anyway, meet my husband Chris. We have been married for 5 years this July, and together for going on 7 years (and I've known him since I was 13!). Man, time flies! I think he's pretty amazing, so I hope you will too.
1. If you could write a book, what topic would you write about and why?
Chris: I already have a large portion of data written for a fantasy book series with influences from Game of Thrones, Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, Final Fantasy and Harry Potter. Why? Because I think I could combine those elements in a way that would appeal to many readers and inspire others.

2. What is one thing on your bucket list, or one thing that you'd like to do or accomplish in your lifetime?
Chris: My bucket list is to travel the world and see all the sights I possibly can. More simply, sky diving.
(Me: Oooo, I would love to go skydiving! Let's do it!! And travel the world?? Umm, yes please?!)

3. If you could look out your window and only see one view for the rest of your life, what would you want to see?
Chris: My wife and daughter playing in the sunny back yard laughing and smiling. Really. That's all I want.
(Me: <3 <3 <3 Can you see why I love this man?!)

4. Imagine you're opening a shop. what are you selling?
Chris: Either a music store (because I'm a musician) or a gaming shop for dorks. (Because I'm a huge dork!) Or... maybe a store that has BOTH! Boom!! Best of both worlds.
(Me: He won't brag about himself but I will do it for him! He is an amazing musician who taught himself how to play drums, guitar, bass, and piano!)

5. If you could have 50lbs of anything other than money, what would it be?
Chris: Comic books. That was easy!
(Me: hahaha! I'm almost positive he already has more than that now!)

6. Time to brag on your girl...tell us one thing that makes you proud of your wife!
Chris: Other than putting up with all my interests (band shows, dork games), I'm proud of her blog! I am always amazed with how successful she has become and how many people care about her and what she writes here.

(Me: Aww! I told you! Isn't he the greatest ever!? lol)
A music and game shop sounds like fun! I met my husband when we were 13 too 😁

Awwwwwwwwww ... I love this post!! <3
ReplyDeleteAwwwhhh #3!!! That is the sweetest answer ever! Such a cute picture of you guys too. The thought of skydiving excites me, but terrifies me. I'm not sure I could actually go through with it!
ReplyDeleteIsn't he the sweetest?! We are such goofballs so I love that the picture shows that. It was actually taken the day before our wedding. haha!! The thought of skydiving scares me too but I've always wanted to do it. lol
ReplyDeleteThanks Julie!!
ReplyDeletehaha really?? That's so cool! I think it's great that we've known each other so long. And he would be in heaven if he opened a store like that! lol! I told him if he ever does then, I get to have my own special room or even the basement for my art. haha!!
ReplyDeleteAww, this is so stinking sweet! And you guys are cute with your blue tongues :)
ReplyDeleteThanks girl! It's so silly but that is one of my favorite pictures of us. lol! It just shows how goofy we are with each other. And it was the day before our wedding so it reminds me of that too.
ReplyDeleteLove this! Did you come up with your own questions? How cool that he taught himself to play those instruments. I never had much exposure to music {well, not to playing music... we always listening to it} when I was growing up but I'm always amazed by who people who have talent and ability.
ReplyDeleteI actually linked up with Heavens to Betsy and she creates new questions for every month. I've never played any instruments. I would love to learn guitar, but I just don't have the patience. lol
ReplyDeleteWasn't this link up so fun? I am all about travelling the world...I don't think I could skydive. I am a chicken. ha!
ReplyDeleteYou guys seem like the people we'd meet up with for a beer and delicious pizza. I like that he's so into comics, much like my boyfriend.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! He really is the best. We are big time goofballs with each other so I thought that photo of us was perfect for this
ReplyDeleteThanks! He is the best. I got very lucky with him
ReplyDeletehaha that sounds like a pretty great meetup to me! He is a HUGE Spiderman fan. He collects them all.
ReplyDeleteI had so much fun reading about everyone's significant others. It's great getting to know people better.
ReplyDelete#3...sweet :) nice to meet him!
ReplyDeleteI think I would read that kind of nerd fiction he wants to write :) LoL
ReplyDeleteThanks girl! He really is the sweetest <3
ReplyDeletehaha he actually has a book partially written that I am doing the art for!
ReplyDeleteAw, this is so cute!! I would love to travel the world too! Wow, it's crazy and cool that you two have known each other since you were 13!

haha Everyone's always surprised when I tell them how long we've known each other. He was my best guy friend growing up, that I always had a crush on but never said anything. Apparently the feeling was mutual and I never found out until almost 7 years ago. lol
