I was reading my friend's blog and she had been tagged to answer a whole bunch of questions about she and her hubby. I was thinking, 'It would be good for me to get all that info down and fun to remember it all.' When I got to the end of her blog she had actually tagged me. So thank you Andrea.
How did you meet: We met for the very first time in August or September of 2000. The Husband was living with his uncle in Gresham, OR and preparing to go on a mission. I was on my mission, in my first area of Gresham, OR. Uncle was the ward mission leader, so of course
my companion and I went over there quite a few times for dinner and missionary related things. I remember thinking that The Husband was a great 'kid' (he was 18 and I was 21) and doing a great job preparing for his mission after being a scoundrel of a teenager. The Husband remembers that I, was hot. We took a picture with him, me and and my companion, when I left the area. We never exchanged correspondence or even really thought about each other again until October of 2004. I was going to school at BYU-Idaho and he was living in Parker, ID, about 15 minutes from campus. We were both involved with ldssingles.com and randomly started chatting with each other online. I was about to stop chatting with him because he wasn't very interesting, when he mentioned he had gone to school in Oregon for a bit. It took us a few minutes to put things together, but we finally realized that we had met on my mission. We went on our first date two days later. After our first date he felt that he didn't want to date anyone else. We held hands a week later and were seeing each other exclusively after that.
Where did you go on your first date: The Husband took me on a drive up Kelly Canyon, then we came back and went on a walk around a park in Rexburg. We then picked up once of his cousins, that had lived in Gresham, and the three of us went out to ice cream. We then dropped her off at home, but did not want to end our date, so we played pool until I had to be home for curfew.
How long have you been together: We have pretty much been together since our first date, so at least three and a half years now.
Who eats more: The Husband, although I think I might have for a while when I was pregnant.
Who said I love you first: I am not positive, but I think it was him. I wanted to wait and say it when I was pretty sure he was "the one" and he just knew I was cool and he really, really liked me.
Who is taller: Me, sigh. I always swore I would marry someone at least 6'4". I am 5'10" and he is 5'9"
Who sings better: I guess me, but only because I sang for two years in high school and he never had any training. He has a very nice voice though.
Who is Smarter: It just depends on the subject. We both have different strengths.
Who does the Laundry: Me, pretty much always.
Who does the dishes: We now switch off every week.
Who sleeps on the right side of the bed: If you are standing, looking at the foot of the bed, he does.
Who pays the bills: I do. As the Husband says,"You are so good at it and why should we both stress about the bills."
Who mows the Lawn: He does, except the one time I did it, when I was extremely pregnant. Go figure.
Who cooks dinner: First of all, we hardly eat dinner together, because of his work schedule. But we both cook. I probably do it just a bit more than him, because I am home more. He likes cooking breakfast and Mexican food.
Who drives when you are together: He does, except when we are on a trip and he is extremely tired and needs to take a nap.
Who is more stubborn: We are both extremely stubborn. It makes for interesting disagreements.
Who kissed who first: Well, he went in for the kill, but I was extremely ready and very happy about it. We were watching a movie at his house with his brother and girlfriend (now wife). I have no idea what movie we watched ;)
Who proposed: I would have to say both of us. I suggested it, but he actually asked. Over Thanksgiving break his parents invited us to go up to Island Park to stay with them, in a relatives cabin. It was all very proper, I was in the room downstairs and he was in the room upstairs next to his parents. His parents were watching a movie downstairs and we were upstairs cuddling and talking on the couch. He asked me what I wanted for Christmas and I told him I wanted something sparkly. He acted like he didn't understand for a bit and then he let on that he got it. At the beginning of December we traveled down to Utah to see my cousin who had just had a baby. We stopped at Temple Square and were sitting on the steps in front of one of the doors of the temple and he just asked me. He didn't even have a ring so we moved my CTR ring from my right hand to my left hand. We later picked out a very simple white gold band that
became my engagement ring for a few weeks. About a week and a half before Christmas I had to have some minor surgery. I got home and was recuperating on the couch. He sat on the floor and was holding my hand for a while. When I brought my hand back up there was a gorgeous diamond ring on my finger. He had gotten it that day while I was in the hospital. It was nothing like we had talked about except that it was a square diamond, but I absolutely loved it and still love it to this day. We were engaged six weeks after our first date and married six weeks after that.
Who is more sensitive: Me, although he surprises me sometimes.
Who has more siblings: He has 5 siblings. I was raised as an only child, but have 4 half siblings.
Who wears the pants: We both wear pants and sad to say, both wear skirts. (He like to wear a lava lava that he got on his mission, around the
house.) We try to share things pretty equally, although if business needs to be regulated, he has designated this my job.
I am going to tag a few people now, mostly because I really enjoyed doing this and want others to enjoy it too, but also because I don't know all of my friend's stories.
Okay, I tag Heather, Alisha, Jessica Wood, Jessica Aston and Audrey.
She would not touch it.
