I have been tagged by several fellow bloggers, but I liked this one because I get to brag about my wonderful husband instead of myself! I'm also feeling especially lovey in the spirit of Valentine's Day. So, in case you didn't already know:
How long have you been married? It will be 2 years in April
How long did you date? Forever! We got married on the 5th anniversary of our first official date (...so, 5 years).
How old is he? He just turned the big 2-5
Who said I love you first? I did, but it was kind of an accident.
Who kissed who first? He did, but I had to do some serious hinting.
Who asked out who first? He did. Actually, he kept trying to ask me out, but I didn't get it. We were really good friends for a couple of years before we started dating and he kept calling me and saying things like "you want to hang out tonight" and I would be like "uh, I don't know what I am doing yet" because I didn't know that he was trying to ask me out. Finally he made it really clear when he called me on like a Wednesday and asked me to go to dinner and a movie that Friday night - like a date (I'm pretty sure he said something like that). Then I was like "OH! Okay!"
Who proposed? Technically? He did. We kept talking a lot about it for a while. He went and picked out a ring by himself, though. One night he picked me up at work and told me that he had a surprise for me and I had to wear a blindfold. I didn't really think that it was coming because he does sweet stuff like that all the time. So, I wore a blindfold and he drove to Sugarhouse Park - where we first kissed. He led me into the grass, took the blindfold off and brought out the ring. He said some very sweet and romantic things, we smiled and hugged and kissed and jumped up and down and the rest is history!
Who eats more? Cody for sure. He has got 6 inches and about 70 pounds on me, though, so it makes sense that he would need more food.
Who is taller? Cody is, by 6 inches.
Who is smarter? I think that is hard to say - it depends on your definition of smart. I am constantly amazed at the things that Cody is able to pull out of that brain of his - especially music wise. He can probably list every song on every album he owns in order, list the band members, tell you the year they produced the album, the date he went to the concert, etc. (I'm not even exaggerating!) Also, he kicks my butt at computer stuff. He is much better at History and Science than me. I did pretty well in school, though. I guess when we have kids, I will help them with Math and English homework and Cody will do History and Science!
Who does laundry? Me for sure. I am very particular about the way the laundry is done. Sometimes I need a little help being motivated, but I definitely have a system and I don't like other people messing with it.
Who does the dishes? Cody does a lot of the dishes. We have a dishwasher though, so it usually consists of Cody rinsing the dishes and handing them to me to load in the dishwasher. Surprise, surprise - I am also very particular about the way the dishwasher is loaded! I also unload the clean dishes because Cody hates putting them away. It works out really well for us.
Who sleeps on the right side of the bed? Let's see, we have lived in 3 places since we have been married. In SLC I slept on the right, at Cody's mom's I slept on the left, and at this apartment I sleep on the left. But Cody always sleeps closest to the door.
Who pays the bills? I pay the bills. Cody is good at a whole lot of things. Paying bills is not one of them, and he has always hated doing it. Plus, I kind of like managing the money. Again, it works out really well for us.
Who mows the lawn? Right now we don't have a lawn. Cody does all of the manly chores, though - taking out the garbage, plunging, replacing lightbulbs, etc. I assume mowing the lawn will fall into that category (once we get a lawn!).
Who cooks dinner? I used to cook dinner every night, when we got home at the same time. Now, I have to stay at work later and I would bet it is about 50/50. I am often surprised to come home to a hot meal just coming out of the oven! It's awesome.
Who drives when you are together? Cody does pretty much always. Cody really likes to drive, and I really don't.
Who is more stubborn? Me.
Who is cleaner? I would say we are both pretty clean. Cody usually picks up the house when he gets home from work so it is nice and neat when I get home. Usually this means straightening the couch pillows, picking up the shoes we kicked off the night before, and febreezing the crap out of everything. Cody is kind of a Febreeze addict. The house is usually pretty easy to maintain. On the weekends we do laundry and actually clean, as in scrub, the house.
Who has more siblings? I guess you would say Cody does. He has one sister, one half brother, and two step brothers. I have two sisters and one brother. Cody is the oldest, I am the youngest.
Who wears the pants in the family? Hmmmmmm... I am not really sure who "wears the pants" so to speak. Cody always holds the remote - does that count? All I can say is that if the way Cody handles this puppy gives any insight into what kind of parent he will be, I am in for a treat!
Whose parents do you see more often? Now that we live in Texas we see Cody's mom the most out of all the parents. The Salt Lake parents we see about 3 or 4 times a year.
Who has more friends? Cody is definitely more social out of the two of us. He is always making new friends. I mean, who wouldn't want to be Cody's friend? He is the life of every social gathering!
Well, I feel that I have gushed about my amazing husband long enough! I would love to read answers to these questions from: Amy, Barbara, and Melanie - consider yourself tagged!
