♥ How long have you been together? Together-ish for like 17 years, stuck together for 12
♥ How long did you know each other before you started dating? We knew each other in junior high, but didn't talk to each other much, then in college started dating as soon as we got there, but broke up...often.
♥ Who asked who out? He asked me. and asked me. and asked me.
♥ How old are each of you? We are 2 months apart and we're getting old....almost 36.
♥ Whose siblings do you see the most? They all live in Wichita so now we get to see them all and so happy about that!
♥ Do you have any children together? Yep. 3. They're all over this blog!
♥ Which situation is the hardest on you as a couple? Many things are hard....moving, money, disciplining kids, his OCD, my PMDD.... but as we've grown older together we've learned how to communicate better and deal with each other's reactions better. It's all about how you react.
♥ Did you go to the same school? In 7th & 8th grade we did, and then met again in college.
♥ Are you from the same home town? Yes, I think we both consider Wichita our hometown, even though we both lived other places at different points in life. Our parents still own houses just blocks away from each other.
♥ Who is the smartest? oh definitely me! But he has, deeeeep inside, some moments of brilliance, at which my knees buckle and my heart melts and I'm at his mercy....but those are few and far between. He's a smart-aleck! Making me laugh is his real talent.
♥ Who is the most sensitive? oh definitely him. He cries at McDonalds commercials. I'm a cold-hearted snake.
♥ Where do you eat out most as a couple? Probably Olive Garden or Pei Wei
♥ Where is the furthest you two have traveled together as a couple? Cancun
♥ Who has the craziest exes? Well you'd have to define crazy first. We both had some crazy fun ones! I was friends with several of his and wouldn't call them crazy. They had good taste.
♥ Who has the worst temper? During PMS, I so win hands down. When the house is a mess and the kids are going nuts, probably him. We can both get pretty fiery...but it's that part of our audacious personalities that make the making up fun!
♥ Who does the cooking? Me, but he is learning that he CAN read recipes, and it's not as hard as he'd like for it to be.
♥ Who is more social? Definitely him. I'm social as long as I'm medicated and there aren't too many people that I don't know around....and lots of other crazy stipulations my mind makes up as it goes along.
♥ Who is the neat-freak? hahaha, um him. Our closets prove it. Don't go in mine. It's dangerous. Have you seen his anti-bacterial hand sanitizer? It comes out often. Don't be offended. It's his OCD.
♥ Who is the more stubborn? Me. Don't wanna talk about it. You can't make me.
♥ Who hogs the bed? Well it's king-sized so that the queen can have her space.
♥ Who wakes up earlier? whoever kicks the hardest that day
♥ Where was your first date? Ate at Willie C's, saw "City Slickers" in an empty theatre and kissed at Harvest park....yep on the first date....we were naughty.
♥ Who has the bigger family? I guess me because I have 2 siblings and he has one. Plus all of my aunts, uncles & cousins are here too.
♥ Do you get flowers often? No, he learned a long time ago that flowers are nice, but they die. I'd rather him spend our money on something that lasts, like shoes.
♥ How do you spend the holidays? With family, doing 1000 piece puzzles, eating salmon soup, playing Balderdash, watching old movies and spending money....like everyone else I guess.
♥ Who is more jealous? I get really jealous when he gets to eat out for lunch and I'm at home having ramen noodles ....again.
♥ How long did it take to get serious? YEARS. I finally just told him one day at Boston Market, "look buddy, you want me? then you're stuck with me! no more breaking up, got it?" So we got married. Romantic, huh.
♥ Who eats more? He does usually, unless I'm preggo and then LOOK out!
♥ Who does the laundry? He does the laundry. He's so good to me. I think I'd do it more often if I were in the basement more often...oh who am I kidding? I do offer to fold it sometimes.
♥ Who’s better with the computer? He is. He is really good at designing websites and stuff like that. I spill things on mine and practically destroy it, so I'm just glad I have one.
♥ Who drives when you are together? On long trips, I drive through the big cities, because I learned to drive in Houston and can push the other drivers out of my way. Other than that he drives most of the time, just cuz he's the man.
♥ Who apologizes the quickest? He does. He is, quite honestly, the only reason we've lasted this long and are still so in love. He can't stand if he even thinks there might be conflict between us and if there is, he works hard to work it out. I have learned over the years how prideful I am and I'm learning how to apologize when I'm wrong....which isn't very often.
I'm just saying that I'm trying to get better at being more like my precious husband, who loves me unconditionally, forgives easily and is becoming the greatest example of Jesus that I know or ever could have imagined that he would become. I'm blessed because he loves me.
