How long ago I was tagged... sorry, so here is one of the things i was tagged to do.
I think i'll do the bag one next:)
How long have you been together? 10 years in June
How long did you date? 2 years
How old is he? almost 37
Who said I love you first? don't remember- don't really care. as long as he says it now.
Who is taller? he is by 7 inches
Who is smarter? depends on who you ask
Who does the laundry? i do, till i complain enough or it gets to be too much build up for him to stand
Who does the dishes? me every day that ends in Y, once again- him if it becomes too much
Who pays the bills? are we talking about who's money- that's both of us - we both earn money. if we're talking who writes the checks-that's him. {he's an accountant after all}
Who sleeps on the right side of the bed? looking @ the bed that's him {i wanted that side remember?}
Who mows the lawn? ME! and he knows he's goin' down if he even thinks about it! I love it! Those are my calories to burn!
Who cooks dinner? Sunnis in North city if i can help it:) Other than that- me on days that end in Y {again}. he does make mac'n cheese from scratch, cream of wheat sunday mornings for us, & poached eggs
Who is more stubborn? HE IS! { can't be me!} he always tells me to stop apologizing all the time!
Who kissed who first? this story warms my heart. so i'll tell it. i use to go high school then off to college, then to work, then to my night manager job, then home around midnight for a run.{yes i actually use to run}. one night i pulled up to my moms house across the street from his parents house, and he came out and asked me to go for a walk. it was summer and we had been on a few dates so i said yes. { i didn't know if he was an axe murderer or something!:)} he held my hand and we went around a few blocks. when we got back to my moms house i was getting stuff from my car, and when i turned back around i leaned on the door of my car, and he kissed me. all i really remember thinking was- i hope he doesn't notice that i have a canker soar! of all the times to choose to kiss me!
don't you wish you could have those sweet moments back again sometimes? i sure do.
Who asked who out?he did. actually he had been living across the street from my mom for some time{ during his divorce} and i never even knew he existed! {sorry honey} so he would see me pull in and wash my car there {my apartment charged you to wash your car there} and LEAVE ON DATES! ouch! and leave for my runs from there, so he totally saw me. he has told me he would even see me at the light by our house singing in my car. how embarrassing...he asked me to go on a picnic on sat. with him and his kids and his WHOLE family! i said i couldn't go because i would be at work, he turned to leave and i said"but i can go sunday!" he smiled and said that sunday it was. i met his whole family all at once, they have always said they loved me from the get go, i drove his truck on the way home that very first day, and his mom took the kids home. i think he asked her more so he could just be alone with me to see if he actually liked me. you know that's a hard thing to do- get to know each other when he has 2 kids under 4, 4 days a week and you both work more than full time. but as you can see it somehow worked out. plus the age difference. was it going to work? i was 18 and he was 26. he was divorced and i was 'dating'. i never dated another person from that first date with john. in fact: my mother was renting a room in her house out to a college student, and that first day john asked me out the renter was there and after john left i turned to the renter and told him i was going to marry that man. sounds corny but true. i bet that renter would laugh now if he knew how it all turned out.
Who proposed? he did. he put the ring on his pinkie, came to see me at work-waited for me to take a break. {i should have known, he never waited around for me} so we went outside and he held my hand {also something rarely done} when i noticed that something was on his pinkie i asked what it was, thinking it was one of his 4yr old daughters play rings. he took it off and the rest is history.
Who is more sensitive?ME! All the way! {wish i had kelly's 'ice princess' talent sometimes- love ya kel!}
Who has more friends?Me- but their husbands are his friends
Who has more siblings? John- by one
Who wears the pants in the relationship?Here's where that stubborn question would come into play.
most of the time me. the kids even know that. they ask me everything and know dad backs me on what i say. shilo will tell john "daddy! MOM'S in charge" he just laughs and nods
Who are you tagging? Bridget & Sarah
thanks for the tag and i hope i didn't bore you. that was very therapeutic for me! it's fun to remember those times, it seems so long ago.

Hold on to the memories, but more importantly create more and more cherished ones everyday. Whenever you have an uphill battle the good memories get you through. Hold the memories not the grudge, so later in life when another battle arises you have a cherished past to ease the pain. We all love ya! Stay strong and remember we'll always be there to lean on.
Great tag! Love the first kiss story.
Look at my tag post in March -- it was the same questions, but I changed some of the questions - after 10 years of marriage I couldn't remember all the answers -- I feel happy if I can remember important dates!
