In the spirit of Valentines Day I decided to link up with a fellow blogger Becky.
1. How long have you and your significant other been together?
We just celebrated our 3 year wedding anniversary and our 6 year dating anniversary on 2/10.

2. How did you meet? {What's your "love" story?}
I was 18, he was 26. We were working across from each other at an outlet mall close to where we live. He used to sit outside my store on a bench during his breaks and read. (Although in 6 years I have never seen him touch a book or a magazine.) One day he stopped in my store to see if I wanted anything from the food court to drink (I always worked alone). I said yes and we instantly started talking. Later that night we talked on the phone for hours. Trying to learn everything about each other. We decided that we would go on our first date the next night (2/10/06). We planned to leave from the outlet mall once we both got off work, however when my dad found out how old he was and that I wasn't coming home before my date so he could meet my parents he pitched a fit. So we drove to my house so Patrick could pass the test. He did.. and the rest is history. 6 years later, I still get butterflies when he smiles at me. We laugh all the time. I fall more in love with him every day and I am so glad he is mine.
Our "1 month" dating anniversary.

3. If married, how long have you been married?
We have been married 3 years and 4 days. :)
4. If you are married, where did you get married at? Big or small wedding? Small. We got married at our friends house. On their front porch (yes in the middle of feb). We tried to do things as cost efficient as possible. So we invited only 40 people. Our immediate family and a very few of our closest friends. It was perfect.

7. Tell us how he proposed?
We were laying on the couch watching tv and I was almost asleep. He got off the couch and I got irritated because he can never sit still. So while I am glaring at him he asks me to marry him. LOL

13. Give us one piece of advice of keeping a relationship strong and full of love.
I'm no expert. But I think something that works for us is listening to each other. If you don't listen to each other you're missing out on so much in each others lives.
