Suzanne Morris tagged me, so here are my answers.
What's his name? Thomas Jefferson Schell
How long have you been married? 8 years this May. Time flies!
How long did you date? Technically 1 year, but 9 months of it was “long distance” (He was in NC, I was in UT).
How old is he? 31.
Who eats more? I could eat more, but he probably does eat more.
Who is taller? Tom…for sure.
Who said 'I love you' first? Sadly, I don’t remember at all, but I would assume he did.
Who does the laundry? Most of the time I do, since I stay at home. He does occasionally. But Tom definitely folds laundry better than I do…so when I can get him to help me it’s great. I always have to put it away though.
Who does the dishes? I do them at least 90% (or more) of the time, but it is supposed to be his job since I do the cooking. He goes through spurts where he does them though.
Who sleeps on the right side of the bed? Me
Who cooks dinner? Thankgoodness, I do. Tom dislikes cooking.
Who sings better? Tom definitely has the better voice, but he is not so good at remembering the words. He can make up words to any song at the touch of a hat…and generally its about me.
Who drives when you are together? Tom for sure, except since he got his eye surgery. I have been driving a lot lately.
Who is more stubborn? Probably me, but it depends on the subject at hand.
Who is smarter? I’d say we’re pretty equal, but again it depends on the subject.
Who kissed who first? Tom….but I followed up with a few of my own.
Who asked who out first? Tom. I’m sort of old fashioned that way.
Who proposed? Tom. He surprised me and flew to Utah on New Years Eve (1999-2000). I had no idea he was coming. He called me on his cell phone and pretended to be in NC and told me to go outside so we could look up at the same moon. I found a suitcase on the doorstep and ran past to look for him (he was hiding around the corner of the my sister’s house). The ring box was sitting open on the suitcase with the ring in it in hopes I would see it first. I just wanted to see Tom though. It was the best surprise ever!!!
Who is more sensitive? I think we are equally sensitive, but I probably cry more easily.
Who has more friends? Me
Who has more siblings? I have 7…he has 5…so I win.
Who wears the pants in the family? Tom does.
Tom, I love you! Thanks for putting up with me. I am going to be lonely without you.
P.S. Now I tag Rachel Westhoff, Kim Golding, and Kathy Casperson.
Can you believe it! Amberly Jane is three already. We can't. They grow up so fast. She is such a joy in our family. Amberly makes us smile all the time. She shares with her sister (not so well with her brother yet), is very independent and wants to do everything on her own, and loves to shadow her Dad wherever he goes. For her Birthday she picked Strawberry cake (possibly under the influence of Reili on this one). I couldn't get her to name a favorite food to have for her birthday dinner yet, so we had barbequed Beef on a bun which see seems to eat well. She had fun having a low key family and one friend party.
All dressed in the morning in a new outfit from Aunt Jane. I love her with pigtails.
Blowing out the candles on her cake.
