I shamelessly thieved the husband meme from Chelle in desperation…

---

How long did you date? Just about 3 years. We met in September 01, moved in together in February 02, got engaged December 02 and got married in July 04.

How old is he? 33. I’m 32, but I always forget.

Who eats more? Him, most of the time. I have portion control issues, though.

Who said “I love you” first? He did. Actually, what he said was “Would you think I was a freak if I told you I think I love you?” I didn’t. Not at all. I loved him already too.

Who is taller? Him. Tall, hot, and smart. I lucked in.

Who sings better? We’re both very not good, but we sing anyway. We serenade our kids in unison at bed time every day. Poor little darlings.

Who is smarter? Him, but don’t tell him I said that.

Whose temper is worse? Me. He doesn’t have a temper at all. He balances me out nicely.

Who does the laundry? I do. He occasionally puts it away but can’t fold to save his life.

Who does the dishes? We both do, but I do it more. Since I cook, he’s supposed to clean but he’s been slacking.

Who sleeps on the right side of the bed? He does.

Who pays the bills? He does, for the most part.

Who cooks dinner? I do. He can’t cook AT ALL, but he rocks the barbecue. (As long as I prepare all of the accompaniments!) Actually, he’s very intelligent and could totally cook if he had any desire too. He really hates it, so I do it.

Who drives when you are together? I drive my van. On the rare occasion we leave the house without the kids, we take his (sports)car and he drives.

Who is more stubborn? Me. Totally me. It’s genetic.

Who kissed who first? He kissed me. I think? BG - want to comment on that one?

Who is the first to admit when they are wrong? Neither of us. Usually if we realize we’re wrong we just pretend that the other person misunderstood us and we were right all along. It’s pretty funny.

Whose parents do you see the most? Mine, because they are able to come see us quite often. But we see his a lot too. Everyone’s only 2 hours away.

Who proposed? He did, right before we were leaving to head home for Christmas, 10 months after we moved in together. We were still in school, but he figured if they could do it while they were in school, we could too. He sold his RRSPs to buy my ring.

Who is more sensitive? Me, but he’s a big softie too. I just cry a lot.

Who has more friends? He has the lifelong kind. I have a few of those, but lots of the ‘probably wouldn’t see each other if our kids didn’t play together’ kind. My good friends are really really good. Amazing, really.

Who has more siblings? We both have one. I have a brother and he has a sister.

Who wears the pants in the family? Ummm…we both have our areas.

The Big Guy is an awesome friend, an awesome husband and an awesome father. I loooooove him a lot and I know I’m incredibly lucky to know him and to be married to him. When my mom met him, she said something like “Oh, thank GOD!”
