How Well Does He Know Me? {Valentine's Day Link Up}

When I found this link up last week, I knew M and I had to participate. If for no other reason than to redeem ourselves.

You see, at the beginning of the month we attended a party with some friends where we played a Newlywed Game-style game. The men and women were separated and asked questions. Then we came back together as a group, to see if our answers matched our spouse's.

M and I matched five out of eight questions. That's 62.5%. That's a D.

When I looked at the questions, posted at The Life of a Not so Ordinary Wife, I knew hoped we could improve our score. Check out our answers below...green denotes a match, red means there is room for improvement.
How long have you been married?
Me:  12 years
MSybil will say 12 years, which is technically right. But I like to round up...and since it's now been more than 12 1/2 years, I round up to 13 years.

Where was your first date? 
Me:  The movies. We saw The Santa Clause
M:  Movie theater -- we saw "the Santa Clause"

Where was your first kiss?
Me:  At my parents' house.
M:  At Sybil's parents' house

Who first said, "I love you"?
Me:  I can't remember. I think it was me.
M:  I did.

What were your wedding colors?
Me:  Gold and cream
M:  Gold, black/white

What is her most commonly used phrase?
Me:  "Shocking!"
M:   "Really??"

Who is her celebrity crush?
Me:  Matthew McConaughey
M:  When she was young it was Ralph Macchio, then Dean Cain. But in the past few years I'd say Matthew McConaughey

If she was ordering drinks for both of you what would you each get?
Me:  Diet Coke, for both of us.
M:  Diet Coke

What is the best meal she has ever cooked you?
Me:  He loves when I make chicken enchilada casserole
M:  My favorite is when she makes chicken enchilada casserole

What is the worst meal she has ever cooked you?
Me:  I tried to make him fettuccine alfredo once. It was awful.
M:  Chicken fettuccine -- when we were dating

What would she say is your most annoying habit?
Me:  Leaving his clothes all over the bedroom.
M:  I have many annoying habits -- I'd say leaving my clothes laying around the bedroom

If you could throw out one item of her clothing what would it be?
Me:  My black pants with the holes in the rear end.
M:  Her black pants with the holes.

What would you say is your favorite thing about her?
Me:  My eyes.
M:  I love her passion and the way that she has opened herself up in order to reach others.

What's her go-to drink at Starbucks?
Me:  Either Iced Green Tea or a Caramel Frappuccino Lite. I can never choose.
M: Green tea 

What's her blog name?
Me:  Peace it all Together
M: Peace It All Together

Final score...80%. That's a B. Yay!

You can see I gave him credit for the wedding colors. I didn't really expect him to say, "cream," so I figured white was close enough. And, for the Starbucks drink...why should he lose points because I'm fickle?

Out of all of M's answers, only one truly surprised me (not in an I'm shocked sort of way, but in an awww, that's so sweet kinda way). I honestly thought he would choose something physical as his favorite thing about me. I was amazed by his answer. I am blessed daily by this man. 

Thanks for stopping by to see how well he knows me. Happy Valentine's Day!
