we're off and running with our third round of 10 on Tuesday. love that.
i have a fun 10 list today and it got me all sorts of inspired to tackle a blogging task i've been meaning to do for ages and ages...but, that's quite literally another story for another day.
1 | draft your 10 on Tuesday list. it can be a list about anything. you can explain your list. or you don't have to. it could be your grocery list. your cleaning list. or a list about your top 10 pet peeves. but a list, nonetheless. k? k.
2 | grab the super snazzy button below and insert the HTML code into the HTML section of your blog. this will automatically make that pretty picture a hyperlink so that everyone knows where you're linking up at!
3 | link up below!
1 | i met my farmer at a golf tournament. his company was apart of an organization for an engineers...and this was an annual tournament they golfed in. i worked for an architecture firm that did work with my farmer's company on occasion. my boss randomly sent me to said golf-outing because a few more golfers were needed. when i saw my farmer i crossed my fingers and toes i'd be in his golfing group. i was.
2 | that very day after the tournament i asked him if he wanted to hang out later that evening. he turned me down. the next week i asked him out again and he agreed. he took me out to dinner and we ordered the same meal.
3 | during our FOUR years of dating my farmer taught me how to rock climb and i taught him how to whitewater kayak.
4 | what i didn't know - my sneaky farmer was dating at least two other girls at the same time as me! i mean...i guess we never said we were exclusive...
5 | that's when it just became a challenge. must. win. farmer. he was a hot ticket around the boise scene.
6 | my farmer is a great dancer and can spin and flip me all over the place. it was a big selling point for me.
7 | when i was dating my farmer i had zero inclination of his farmer aspirations. he was an engineer. since when do engineers become farmers?
8 | as i was trying to win over my farmer - nothing was working. i felt like i was being dragged along. that's when i left the country. i decided i needed to see europe. i got a job as a nanny in prague.
9 | i guess prague was too far away for my farmer. he came to see me after i'd been there for a month. when it was time for him to leave i dropped him at the airport and cried and cried and cried...and cried some more.
10 | after my adventures in europe, i returned home after staying with my sister in boston for three months. it still took my farmer over a year to propose.
but...good things come to those who wait. #lessonlearned
11 | get yourself linked up!
What a fun story to read. I'm sure it was tough when you weren't sure where life was taking you but mad props to leaving and figuring out what you wanted in Prague! :)
ReplyDeletelol @ the "Since when do engineers become farmers?" Maybe because I'm married to an engineer!! Love your love story :)
ReplyDeleteMy Guy is an engineer to, but he stuck with what he was degreed in. HA! And Prague?! I must hear more about this!
ReplyDeleteP.S. There's a fresh blanket of snow and I'm loving it!
Love this love story. Love lists. Love 10 things. Am pretty much all in here. So glad I found you...might be able to remember how except for the cumulative 29 years' worth of maternal sleep debt clouding my brain. Anyway, thanks for hosting.
ReplyDeleteYou guys are adorable! We never were exactly exclusive either...it's so weird to me that when he finally decided to marry me I knew he was serious and never was worried about him straying.
ReplyDeleteLove your 10! Glad to learn a little more about you. Thanks for hosting!
ReplyDeleteI love finding out how people met and fell in love!! He must have truly missed you!! =)
ReplyDeleteLove your story. And love that you knew what you wanted, and you went for it, girl. That farmer had no chance;)
ReplyDeleteHaha I love this! Such a cute story.
ReplyDeleteThis is such a cute idea to explain your love story! :)
ReplyDeleteLoved getting to learn more about you guys and how you came to be! So cool that you journeyed to Europe!!
ReplyDeleteI'm married to an engineer too. They are a different breed for sure. :) I love that you kept after him. I need more details on this story though! Ha ha!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun story!!! I linked up for the first time today!! I would love to tell me and my husband's love story in ten steps too... can I steal your idea? I will definitely link back to you so you get credit for the idea!
ReplyDeleteUm, can you next 10 on Tuesday be about your time in Prague? Because that is awesome.
ReplyDeleteAnd also men are only slightly dumb...;)
What a fun story!!

What a fun story!!! Hopefully my engineer doesn't drag me to the boonies of FL to become a farmer ;)
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun story! So unique! He almost let you get away, didn't he? Good thing he came to his senses. ;o)
ReplyDeleteOh I loved this! Cute story, and congrats on winning him! HAHA
ReplyDeleteOh man, how adorable is this story?! Wow, he really made you sweat though! And now you guys are perfect for each other x
ReplyDeleteLove this! And it makes me feel better about having waited 3 years so far for my proposal ;)
ReplyDeleteLove this story and your inclination to go to Europe! As corny as it sounds... everything happens for a reason. Glad your story turned out the way you hoped it would.
ReplyDeleteI love reading stories of how couples met! I met my (engineer) husband on the beach in San Diego and it took him nearly 5 years to propose. I guess good things really do come to those who wait. :)

So darn cute! A girl who was determined! Love it. It paid off....
ReplyDeleteThis is such a cute story. You really worked hard for your farmer!
ReplyDeleteThat is the most killer sink/vanity of all the sinks/vanities!
ReplyDeleteSomeone needs to invent a bib-like something for children's runny noses. We go through more tissues in our house during allergy/cold season than I would like to.
