Our 25th Anniversary was this past week. Because it was Spring Break, both Tanner and Aubrey were home in the middle of the day. (I think Bri was home for lunch.) I saved this Valentine's quiz I saw online last month and printed four copies out. I also sent a picture of it to Brinley so she could join in the fun. Because I had bought a couple of candy prizes, it was high stakes in the Gwilliam household.
Brian, Tanner, Aubrey and I gathered around the kitchen table and took the quiz. It was kind of hilarious and a lot of fun. Brian and I didn't have exactly the same answers, and we allowed a lot of leeway in points as well.
I was really impressed with what the kids, especially the girls, knew about our relationship. Tanner was pretty good about figuring out dates so that kept him in the competition. There was a lot of laughing and joking around the table. I thought the best answers centered around our first kiss and what we liked most about each other.
Question #4 was "Name three things you know about Mom and Dad's first kiss."
Here is Brinley's summary. (Aubrey guessed the same thing but listed fewer details.)
"Dad used sign language to say "you kiss me." Mom was shocked. Dad signed, "I'm waiting." Then they kissed.
This wasn't our first kiss, but it was cute that the girls remembered. It was a pretty epic event in our early dating days. I was floored when he signed that to me. It was even funnier when he calmly signed, "I'm waiting." Brian still keeps me laughing and on my toes for sure.
Tanner's answer to three things he knew about our first kiss was hilarious.
"it was gross, dad leaned in, it was awkward"
He earned two points for it because he had us all laughing so hard. ___________________________________________________________________________________
I also thought it was sweet to read what the kids thought we liked best about each other. They definitely had great answers.
What is Dad's favorite thing about Mom?
Dad's answer: serves others
Brinley: shows love (with cute gifts/notes) and organized?
Tanner: personality
Aubrey: good mothering skills
Mom: faith

What is Mom's favorite thing about Dad?
Mom's answer: funny
Brinley: hard working? funny?
Tanner: peacemaker
Aubrey: how hard working and independent he is
Dad: funny (looking I think)
See ↑↑↑, he's being funny right there. He keeps me smiling and laughing everyday. And I absolutely do love that he is a peacemaker, hardworking and independent as well.
