This is another survey going around facebook...The picture above is one of my favorites of Jeff and me. It was taken on a mission trip to New Mexico only a couple of months after we'd met.
1. When was your "engagement" anniversary? December 25, 2003
2. When is your "marriage" anniversary? July 9, 2005
3. How long have you known your spouse? Since April 26, 2001
4. How long did you date/court before you were married? A little over four years
5. Where did you meet your spouse for the first time? We met at a Coca-Cola Scholars Program in Atlanta, GA. I didn't want to go because I was tired during a busy time of the school year. On the way to the airport, my mom said, "Cheer up. Maybe you'll meet the guy you're going to marry." I called home that night and told her that I had.
6. What is your spouse's full name? Jeffrey Landon Norris
7. Do you have any children yet? Yep!
8. How many? Two: Maggie (born October 20, 2006) and Miller (born September 8, 2008)
9. Do you have any house pets? Nope!
10. Do you own a house or rent? We “own” a house.
11. Do you live in the country or town/city? Both, kind of.
12. What is one of your favorite activities together? Mainly, we like to spend time with our sweet babies. We also like to watch TV (though Jeff loves reality TV and I like a plot) and listen to music in the car (We both sing at the top of our lungs...sorry, Jeff!). Recently, we have started listening to books on tape to replace some of the TV.
13. Do you have a favorite vacation spot? The beach! We want to actually go there this summer!
14. How many siblings (including in-laws)? I have three sisters. Jeff has two brothers. (Therefore, Jeff has three sisters-in-law on my side of the family, and I have two brothers-in-law on his side of the family.) I also have two more brothers-in-law (my sisters’ husbands), and Jeff has a sister-in-law (his brother’s wife).
15. What church do you attend? Shades Mountain Baptist Church...It took us a long time to find a church that felt like “home.” God has really blessed us, and we couldn’t ask for a better church home!
16. Is this the church you were married in? No, we were married at First Baptist Church in Monroeville, AL, where I grew up.
17. What town is your current address? Calera
18. Do you work or stay at home? I stay at home and take care of our babies! We weren’t sure if this was going to be an option for us when Maggie was born, but it is working out great, and I am so appreciative to be able to spend all day with our children!
19. Where did you honeymoon? We planned to spend a week in Destin and take a “further-away” trip after our first year of teaching. However, Hurricane Dennis hit the day of our wedding, changing the Destin plans, so we went to Callaway Gardens for a few days and then went to Panama City the day the beach reopened. Maggie changed the “further-away” trip plans, so we will take that one later...totally worth it!
20: Leave a piece of marriage advice: My father-in-law has always reminded Jeff of the order his priorities should follow: 1. God, 2. Family, and 3. Everything else. This is the best life/marriage advice I can give.
