My Husband, Keith

I got tagged by Nicole so here it goes.

1. Where did you meet? We met at Snow College in a Calculus class.

2. How long did you date before you got married? We dated for about four months, engaged for two months and got married.

3. How long have you been married? 12 years, 25 days, 10 hours, and 46 minutes. Wow, time flies when you are having fun!!

4. What is your favorite feature of his? Most definitely his smile and his eyes!!

5. What is your favorite quality of his? He is a very hard worker. He is always looking for ways to serve and help others. He is wonderful with me and the kids and always tries to be the best father and husband he can be.

6. Does he have a nickname for you? Yes, Neena. About 10 years ago, we babysat for Keith's cousin so they could go to Hawaii. The youngest was about two years old and every time he tried to say my name he said Neena instead. Keith thought that was cute and ever since he has been calling me Neena.

7. What is his favorite food? Growing up it was his mom's pork chops, rice and gravy. Now it is Pasta Carbonara--or anything else Italian that he makes. He makes GREAT Italian food!!

8. What is his favorite sport? His favorite sport to watch is football and his favorite sport to do is hunting.

9. When and where was your first kiss? Our first kiss was just outside my apartment just after a date.

10. What is your favorite thing to do as a couple? We like to have date nights at home. We put the kids to bed and then have dinner and watch a movie.

11. Do you have any children? Yes. Six. Jessie--10, Jason-- 9, Logan-- 7, Meagan--5, Kaden--2, Brenna--9 months.

12. Does he have a hidden talent? He can sing, even though he says he can't. He even tries really hard to sound horrible so no one can hear how he really sounds. The only time he sings normally is at church. FHE and the Happy Birthday song are a different story all together. He also has a talent of being able to fix anything.

13. How old is he? He is 34 years old.

14. Who said "I love you first"? He did.

15. What is his favorite type of music? He likes to listen to country, rock, and Italian music.

16. What do you admire the most about him? I admire his ability to fix ANYTHING--you name it, plumbing, wiring, drywall, cars, columns, and the list goes on!! He is always thinking of some way to fix something or to solve a problem. I admire his love for the gospel and his testimony of the gospel. I admire the way he always makes the time to fulfill his responsibilities as a father, husband, employee, and priesthood holder.

17. Do you think he will read this? Maybe. He usually doesn't read our blog, but he knows I am doing this, so he just might read it to see how I answered the questions.

I am going to tag: Jenni, Carillisa, Amy, Candise, Staci, Jolyn, and anyone else that wants to do it.

Here are a few pictures of Keith.

Malia we all know that keith is a dork. Why is he sweating so much in the pictures of him working? I think his younger brother David got all the good looks in the family. And by the way he may be able to fix things but he should leave the fantasy football stuff up to you. This post was by the better looking brother by the way.

Malia, I know that your life must be crazy with six kids but it's time to update. I can barely keep up with my three. How are things? Are you coming to Utah anytime soon?

Hi Malia,
My name is Jen Butler Coleman (SFHS 2000) I'm trying to find some correct contact information for your dad, Mr. Keck. I need a refrence from some music we sang back in the day and he's pretty much the only guy who can help me. Can you give me an updated address, phone or email?
Best Regards,
Jen Coleman
