Because it takes two to make a third...

Basics
1. What is your favorite thing about your partner?His sensitivity and philosphical sense. I can have hour-long conversations with him and always feel like the time is well-spent

2. What is your least favorite thing about your partner?

He's just too much of a good guy, sometimes, and far too passive. I wish he'd stand up for himself more often.

3. If you could change one thing about your relationship, what would it be?
Cliché as it sounds, I wouldn't change a thing.

4. Are you happy in your relationship?
Deliriously happy - well, okay, maybe that's a LITTLE dramatic, but I do feel as fulfilled as I'm ever going to be.
5. If not/so, why?
I don't feel like I have to go out looking for anything - I have friendship, acceptance, love, and even a bit of challenge right here at home.

6. How long have you been together?

Roughly 18 months (or, to be exact: 1 year, 6 months, and 6 days).

Favorites

1. What is your favorite physical feature about your partner?
One of my favorite things to do is figure out what color his eyes will be today - they're usually hazel, but can switch from green to brown easily.

2. What is your favorite personality feature about your partner?
Again, I love the fact that he's sensitive to my insecurities - he makes me feel a lot better about myself, even if I refuse to believe him sometimes.

3. What is your favorite place to be with your partner?
Just about anywhere: at home, taking a walk around the park, visiting the mall... you name it.

4. What is your favorite memory with your partner (or, one of them)?
Too many to name, really, but they're some of the best-kept memories I've got.

5. What is your favorite inside joke with your partner?

We have a ton. Usually it has to do with baby-talk, though - we butcher words just to make them sound cuter in everyday conversation. ♥

6. Which gift from your partner is your favorite?
The little guy kicking me from the inside isn't a bad keepsake... ♥

7. Which nickname is your favorite from your partner?

I don't remember when this started exactly, but instead of calling me by my name, he has a tendency to call me "Chu". It's really very cute.

Facts About Your Partner

1. Birthday?May 28, 1987 - I'm about 15 hours older than he is. =)

2. Birthplace?
Lebanon, Pennsylvania (in Lebanon County XD).
3. Pets?
Jointly, we have a Dwarf rabbit, a Mongolian gerbil, and a baby Slider turtle. His parents are currently babysitting his adult Slider turtle and Bearded Dragon lizard, along with three family cats (Chica, Pepper, and Luna).
4. Parents' Names?
Kathleen McDonald (Katy) and Jose Renato Mendez de Seixas (just Renato XD).
5. Siblings?
Two younger sisters, Claudia and Julia.
6. Favorite food?
Oh boy. I joke that he'll eat anything that moves, but anything "meaty" does the trick - tacos, beef patties, hot dogs... and mashed potatoes. Can't forget the mashed potatoes. XD
7. Favorite color?
I remember this one because the first time he said it, it made me laugh: Crimson Red. Not just "red", but "Crimson Red". Sheesh. ♥
8. Favorite song?
We've both got too many to name, but our tastes are really similar, so just about anything I listen to.
9. Favorite animal?
He's a cat person, hands-down. No matter how many cute little puppies I try to send his way, he still prefers fluffy-wuffy kitty-cats.
10. Favorite TV show?
He likes science-fictiony shows (Doctor Who, Star Trek Enterprise) and "how-stuff-works" shows (MythBusters, Futureweapons).
11. Dream car?
Lately he's been going on about getting a pick-up truck in the future, but he also has a secret dream of buying a motorcycle someday.

12. Favorite sports team?

Neither one of us likes sports very much.
13. Favorite movie?
The Lord of the Rings trilogy. Like me, he considers it one of the greatest achievements of modern cinema.
14. Pants size?
32 to 34 - what REALLY matters to him is the number of pockets and how much weight they can hold up with (or without) a belt.
15. Shirt size?
Usually medium, but some large sizes fit him just as well (he's pretty muscular).
16. Shoe size?
10 1/2 to 11, depending on the kind of shoe and how much "reinforcement" it has (ie, steel-toe boots).
17. Height?
5 foot 6 (but he's occasionally mentioned wishing he were at least 5'10").
18. Weight?
Fluctuates depending on what we've been eating lately, but he's usually a steady 160-170.

Firsts
1. Movie?Escaflowne: The Movie (his idea, and I missed an entire days' worth of class just to be there with him ♥).
2. Kiss?
Strangely enough, while I was playing Devil May Cry in his dorm room (September 27, '05).
3. Date?
We never really did much "dating", just hung out everywhere together (going down to the cafeteria for meals, walking around campus, going to class).
4. Fight?
To be honest, we've never really had a "fight" - just periods of disagreements that end with someone needing a hug.
5. Dance?
A TKE frat party we went to on January 26, '06 - my first and last (it's not really my scene).
6. First time?
It's amazing how specific I can get with dates - October 02, '05.

Moments

1. When was one moment when they surprised you with something cute?
He's always surprising me with cute little things - random stuffed animals, little post-it-notes while I'm still sleeping...

2. What was one moment when you knew that they truly cared about you?
The first time he promised he'd always be there for me (after which I cried myself to sleep in his arms).

3. What was one moment when you realized how much you cared for them?
When I saw him truly make an effort to make me his past, present, and future - in his own words, "nothing else mattered".

4. What was one moment when you realized that you'd be together forever?
Our wedding ceremony in August pretty much cemented it for me.

5. What was one moment when you knew they were the one?
Let's just put it this way: I would never have pursued a relationship if I hadn't thought that this was for keeps.
