So my sister-in-law did this on her facebook and I thought it looked fun! Dan will have to tell me if i'm right :)
Here's a chance to see how well you really know your husband. Cut, paste and fill in the answers . . . shoot, you know what to do. The real challenge is to send it to your husband to see how right you really are.
1. He's sitting in front of the TV, what is on the screen? ESPN... definitely. Unless it's Monday night, then it's 24. And if i'm there, it'll be: Gilmore Girls, HGTV, American Idol or Survivor.
2. You're out to eat; what kind of dressing does he get on his salad? Usually italian... but last time he got ranch.
3. What's one food he doesn't like? he doesn't like... reese's peanut butter cups! which still baffles me cuz they are my favorite!
4. You go out to eat and have a drink. um... rootbeer or sometimes those flavored lemonades.
5. Where did he go to high school? Leigh High
6. What size shoe does he wear? ok i honestly don't remember this... i'm guessing an 11? i'm now going to cheat and look in the closet, hold on.... dang it, the shoe in the closet said "12"! I was close though....
7. If he was to collect anything, what would it be? um.... anything sports related. we do have a collection of shot glasses though. we get them any place we visit together, we started it on our honeymoon.
8. What is his favorite type of sandwich? i'm going to say a BLT, cuz it has bacon. But sometimes I ask what kind of sandwich to make him and then he wants grilled cheese. And if he makes it, then PB&J it is!
9. What would this person eat every day if he could? bacon! haha... or maybe pizza. he likes pizza.
10. What is his favorite cereal? oooh too many to choose from. we always have at least 10 boxes on hand (which I never eat). I'm going with... cinnamon toast crunch, cookie crisps, the sugary stuff, really.
11. What would he never wear? plaid. I like those plaid shorts but he hates them for guys.
12. What is his favorite sports team? The San Jose Sharks (hockey).
13. Who did he vote for? Obama.
14. Who is his best friend? ME of course! As for guys then Steve or Brian in Cali or Scot in Provo.
15. What is something you do that he wishes you wouldn't do? Nothing, I'm perfect :) although sometimes my Utah "accent" kicks in and he has to tell me how to really pronounce words... apparently I have issues saying "especially" haha...
16. What is his heritage? Well the name Deceuster is from Belgium. So that gets my vote.
17. You bake him a cake for his birthday; what kind of cake? For his birthday he didn't want cake, he wanted chocolate pie.
18. Did he play sports in high school? YES. hockey and baskeball. i'm sure he did other things, but i can't remember!
19. What could he spend hours doing? playing sports or playing rockband/guitar hero. or spending time with ME :)
20. What is one unique talent he has? there's so many to choose from... he's extremely athletic, amazing at music, smart, funny, handsome, thoughtful.... and the list could go on....
i love you, Dan! :)

cruise!
so... i decided that this summer i want to go on a cruise! how fun would that be??? i've already been looking into it. granted, i do need to pass this by my husband. i'm thinking we need to go while we are still free to do so... meaning no kids, etc.... if anyone out there has been on a cruise, i would love to hear about your experience! i mean, really, i have worked so hard this semester, i think i deserve a break! :)

back to school
So i started my co-hort today (teaching in the schools) and i now want to change my major! haha... this is so sad, but i really did not enjoy myself. i think it's because i am in 2nd grade and i really just like teaching preschool. the kids are too old in 2nd grade! that and i just sat and observed for 6 hours, so it got a little boring. i like the teacher though. i am just ready to get this semester over with! anyway, i guess i can't judge it all just by the first day. hopefully tomorrow will be a little better....

Our first valentine's as married people!
So Dan and I celebrated our first married person valentine's together and had a lot of fun. I decided I would blog a little about it :)
We woke up Saturday morning and Dan was sick! He came down with a bad cold, so he slept in while I talked to my mom on the phone. She made heart shaped pancakes for my dad for breakfast (something she has done every year since i was little) and asked if i was going to do the same for Dan. I was... however, we already had pancakes that week, so I decided to make german pancakes. Wanting to be a little more festive i added some red food coloring. Instead of coming out pink, they turned kind of orange and Dan asked me why they were a "weird" color. haha...
After breakfast Dan gave me my present and I gave him his. I got him this board game called masterpiece that he really likes. It's a game they no longer make or sell in stores anymore, so I had to be creative and get it off of ebay- luckily my brother, Mark, helped me out with this. I also got him a Mrs. Cavanaugh's chocolate heart with his name on it that i really want to eat! :) Dan gave me a game I wanted called Last Word, which i actually chose out for myself and opened last week! haha... then he gave me a surprise game, which was American Idol for playstation 2. It's pretty funny to play. Only we thought we would have to sing, but you just push buttons (or use to DDR pad) to make your person sing and if you do bad they sing horribly! it's kind of hilarious. Dan is always trying to find video games for me that i actually will enjoy playing.
Dan also got me flowers- which i picked out :) I wasn't going to, but I was at the store with him, so I just picked the ones i liked. Last year while we were dating Dan bought me gorgeous long stem pink roses and i loved them. But this year we decided we should save money and not spend a ton on flowers. So i didn't get roses this year, but i always love any kind of flower!
I was then supposed to go take a test for my language class, but who wants to take a test on valentine's day??? That's what i thought! So i stayed home and made heart shaped sugar cookies :) it was MUCH more fun. That just means i now have to take 2 tests on Tuesday morning.
That afternoon we went to the mall because I need professional clothes. We are supposed to dress up when we teach and I start teaching in a week, so I figured I might as well get a few new things to add to my wardrobe. I found some pants at American Eagle, but i am still on the hunt for some shirts-- any suggestions???
We then went to dinner at this place in Lindon called Wallaby's that I have been wanting to try. We thought it would be a nice sit down restaurant, but it was more of a cafe rio setup- where you just go through the line and then pick your own spot. The food was actually pretty good and it wasn't busy, so that was nice!
After that Dan was tired, so we came home. We had my sister Noelle come play games with us (we needed 3 people for masterpiece) and guess what? I won! I also won ticket to ride too- even though i kinda bent the rules just a little bit ;) but... Dan said I had to win on Valentine's day!
And that's about it. I loved spending time with my husband- i really don't know how i got so lucky... having Dan as my valentine! :)

the story of Dan & Michele
So my friend Britney did this on her blog and then I wanted to do it too :) thanks Britney for letting me copy you! It looked like fun and I haven't blogged in a while, so I figured I might as well put this up. Plus it is the month of LOVE now... so this fits perfectly :)
1. Where did you meet?
We were in the same singles ward for 2 years! The first time we ever really met and talked was at a ward prayer after i had been in the ward about 6 months. So we were just acquaintances for a while and then that summer Dan became my home teacher (BEST home teacher EVER). 2. What was the first thought that went through your head when you met?
Well actually, this is so random, but i remember seeing him the very first sunday i moved into that ward and i totally remember thinking he was one of the hottest guys in the ward :) but then heard he was dating someone else, so after that i did not think much about him at all. I then started to think he was pretty cute when he became my home teacher.
3. Do you remember what he/she was wearing?
when i first saw him? a suit. it was at church. i don't remember which suit though, i just remember thinking he was tall and handsome :)
4. Where was the first time you kissed this person?
we kissed in December 2007 in my apartment (we had been playing games w/ some friends, they all left and it was just me and him, so he kissed me goodnight- it was the perfect first kiss).
See, he was my home teacher all summer and then i moved to New York for 2 months. When i came back he had a girlfriend. And i became his "advice girl". Meaning he'd come over to my house late at night and tell me about his girlfriends and how dumb they were :) luckily! FINALLY after a month of this advising he asked me out! and then realized he needed no other girls :) hahaha and we shortly kissed after that.
5. Where did you go for your first date?
well.... this is quite the story. one day in November Dan and i were chatting on gmail and he was like "hey wanna go get some food?" in my mind, going to get some food meant Wendy's. so i was like "sure". so later that day we were in his car and he was like "let's go to Macaroni Grill." here i am a poor college student (thinking it wasn't a date and that i'd have to pay for myself) so i was like "uh... that's kind of expensive" and then Dan was like "well it's a date, so i'll pay!" (real smooth, Dan). Then i was like "ok, then Macaroni Grill it is!" However, we got there and it was super busy and we were super hungry. So then we tried Bajio and it was still too busy. So we ended up at a Chinese place called Shoots.
6. How long did you know this person before you became a couple?
Well i guess about a year... but that is just from us being in the same ward. Really knowing him and actually being friends, about 7 months.
7. How did he/she ask you out?
For our first date? I think that was explained above... But if asking me out means asking me to be his girlfriend, that never happened! He just kissed me and we've been together ever since :) No DTR necessary.
8. Has this person ever proposed to you?
Yep! I have the gorgeous ring to prove it! This is a long story though, basically we flew out to NY and he asked my dad for permission. The day after we came back he picked me up from work, played me a song that he had written for me (so cute!) and then as we got to his car he opened the door and there were flowers in it for me, i turned around and there he was on one knee! I totally thought he was kidding (because we were in the parking lot behind his house), but he pulled out the ring and then i started to freak out! he really wanted to surprise me, so he just randomly did it! i said yes about 100 times... then we went to Shoots for dinner and got ice cream sundays afterwards. Oh and i couldn't stop starring at the ring... i was speechless!
9. Do you and this person have kids together?
No not yet!
10. Have you ever broken the law with this person?
Nope! We are law abiding citizens :)
11. When was the first time you realized that you liked this person?
Well i started to like him when he was my home teacher. But when i really liked him was in December, i took him to Subway for his birthday and we had a lot of fun. That's when i really started to like him a lot. Luckily he kissed me 5 days later :) So he must have really liked me too!
12. Do you trust this person?
Yes! Definitely.
13. Do you see her/him as your partner in your future?
Forever!!!!
14. What is the best gift she/he gave you?
uh... tangible gift? I really like the dozen pink long stem roses he gave me last year for valentine's day. i also love my engagement/wedding ring. and my shark's shirts ;) haha seriously though, i am spoiled! it's hard to choose! it's like christmas all year round!
15. What is one thing He/She does that gets on your nerves?
corrects my grammar! either that or turns the heat down in our house so it is freezing! ;)
16. Where do you see each other 15 years from now?
well we will for sure be married and happy as ever! probably living in a gorgeous house in... dare i say, Texas? we will have some kids and i will be the perfect mother and dan will have a really great job.... probably a CEO of some company. or maybe dan will be a personal trainer and open his own gym- he would like that!
17. What causes the most arguments?
the thermostat :) j/k... i don't really know, we don't really argue. we discuss things, but nothing huge lately.
18. How long have you been together?
total would be... 1 year and 2 months. married is almost 6 months!

YES! and we LOVE it!!!
