Interesting facts about us. From Chuck

So there are a lot of things that Chay and I have in common. Some creepy, some funny, some only we think are note worthy.

When we tie the knot we will have the same initials. CBR.

We both have blue eyes.

We both have an older brother named Chris.

Both of our moms like the movie "Mama Mia!" WAY too much. lol We love our moms though.

The names Chay and Chuck are both diminutive of the name Charles. WEIRD.

My grand father on my mother's side is a retired plumber. Chay's grandfather and father are plumbers. In fact, My grandpa actually taught Chay's dad in plumbing school.

We both love 90's music to the point that it will probably one day drive our children insane.

We were both raised in a Mormon family but later decided it wasn't for us.

Before we actually met, Chay saw my bands play a few times and even knew a close friend of mine.

Charles Briant Roberts and Chaylee Bowles Roberts both have exactly 20 letters in the name.

I like Punisher comics ALOT and Chay thinks it's cute. (I just wanted to brag a bit).

More to come later.
