Because I’m a curious person by nature, I would love to get that going again, so here is the official call out.

If you want to enter something for Our Story, you have two ways of doing it.

The easier/shorter way is to answer the questions to the meme I have put after the more tag.

The longer way is to write a post with 250 - 500 words about how you met your partner, how long you’ve been together, and anything else you think is important to include.

And, of course, whether you write a post or participate by filling in the meme, I am happy to link to any/all of your blogs (unless you have five million of them or you run a pornography blog - I have to at least try to be somewhat age appropriate here).

To get in contact with me, all you have to do is email me if you have my email address or click on the good ol’ ‘contact me’ button on the right under the site description.

Thank you to everyone who even thinks about participating!

Inspired by the Weekend Soiree over at Wifely Steps (and pretty much using her idea, to be honest, but you can go over there and play on her site as well!), we’re going to have a bit of conversation here on site. I’ll be responding when and where I can, but it would be great for the readers to respond to each other as well.

If you make a comment and it doesn’t show up, let me know using the ‘contact me’ button under the site description on the right. That way, as soon as I see the email I can rescue it from the depths of the spam filter. But, seeing as the spam filter is no longer regarding me as spam, I’m hoping none of you will have any problem.

The way the game works is this:

I pick a theme that we’ll be talking about and will start off things with a question. The first person to come along will then answer that question and ask another question still relating to the theme.

(Remember to ask another question! It makes the game harder if people only answer them.)

Eg. The theme is peanut butter. I ask, “Do you like peanut butter?” Someone answers and at the end of the comment asks, “When was the first time you tried peanut butter?” So on and so forth.

Easy? Yes, I thought so. Which brings me to the theme and the question for this week:

Theme: Danger

Question: Have you ever been in danger?

Hello and welcome to this week’s installment of love questions.

Once again, as I am wont to do for this site, I am thinking about romance.

I am quite a romantic woman at heart. I may not do it 24/7, but I like taking care of my husband. I like going to the shops and picking up the foods I know he likes. When he comes home and I know he’s had a long, hard day at work, I like to have something nice waiting for him.

Of course, massages, a cold beer, some time to himself… All of these things are what I like to be able to give to him whenever he needs/wants them.

But that isn’t to say he’s not romantic. He likes to bring me my favourite things to each when I’m taking a bath. He runs me a hot bath when I’ve had a hard day, complete with candles and everything. He has also brought me home flowers just because I’ve had a rough day.

Who is more romantic? I think we’re about even for that. I just tend to have more time to think about these things and execute my plans than he does.

This week I’m wondering:

(If you’re not with anyone at the moment, feel free to call on past relationships.)

Have fun!

Theme: Jobs and Work

Question: How many jobs have you had in your life?

Hello and welcome to this week’s installment of love questions.

Comparison. What’s the better deal? What gives you the most ‘bang for your buck’? What’s the best price? Yada yada.

I think that we live in a world filled with a lot of comparing. Many of us live in a so-called land of plenty, but many of us can’t afford the plenty on offer, so we scramble and save, compare and contrast, all to get the best possible option.

Does that extend into relationships?

To be honest, I have compared Mr. JM to the guys I was with in the past. Mr. JM has it pretty easy, though, because a lot of my past relationships were with jerks.

I don’t think we can help but compare sometimes; we don’t think about it on a conscious level. Does that make it right? Well, that’s what I’m thinking about this week. I would never say to my husband, “Well, you’re nothing like boyfriend X because he wouldn’t have done that.” I think that’s wrong and just plain hurtful.

But to idly compare every now and then…

Theme: Animals

Question: Do you have any pets?

Hello and welcome to this week’s installment of love questions.

I was watching one of my favourite comedy shows the other night and an interesting statistic came up as a trivia question. According to the latest statistics, 19% of couples are having their wedding paid for by their parents.

Now, this is certainly a lower statistic than I expected, but you don’t know just what went into the findings. Did they include civil services or only big weddings? How many people were surveyed? That sort of thing.

My husband and I paid for our wedding, and I’m very proud of that fact. I hand made my wedding invitations, got my dress and veil on ebay, got married at the local park/lake for free, etc. I definitely wouldn’t have minded some extra cash, but I am very proud that I did without.

When I was younger, it was ‘the thing’ where I was from to take out a wedding loan. Some banks were even starting to create special wedding loan packages.

Theme: Home

Question: Where is home for you?

Hello and welcome to this week’s installment of love questions.

I was sitting down today thinking about what question to ask for this week’s Love Question, and something Mr. JM said (I can’t remember now) got me to thinking about all the big decisions couples make together. Everything from which refrigerator to buy to what house to buy, big decisions make up a lot of compromise in relationships.

The first big decision that Mr. JM and I made together was that we would give our relationship a try despite the distance, despite the time zone differences and despite our age difference. You can thank me for that one, as I virtually smacked some sense into him. (Why deny yourself love if the other person loves you back?)

The second big decision was that I would fly out here to live, to give our relationship a go in person. While some external factors influenced when that happened, Mr. JM and I had been saving up for it anyway. And, of course, the rest is history.

This week I’m wondering:
