I've Been Tagged!

My cute Hubby!


1. What is his name? Darin

2. How long have you been together? Well that is kind of funny, cause it has been a really long time! We have been married for 7 years, but we started liking each other our sophomore year of high school so that makes it a whopping 13 years!

3. How long did you date? We dated for 4 years before his mission, and wrote every week for 2 years and were married 4 1/2 months after he came home.

4. How old is he? 28

5. Who eats more? That would be him---he has a never ending stomach and is one of those people who CAN have one with not consequences!

6. Who said "I love you" first? I believe that was him--but I'm sure I was thinking it!

7. Who is taller? Him by a few inches

8. Who is smarter? Well I think we both are in our own element---he definitely has me beat in his line of work, but I think I am smarter when it comes to the things I do best.

9. Who does the laundry? That would be me---just one of those wife duties, but he helps me out if I ask.

10. Who does the dishes? Mostly me--especially during the day, but If I make him a great dinner then the deal is he will do the dishes.

11.Who sleeps on the right side of the bed? Me

12. Who pays the bills?
That would be Darin


13. Who mows the lawn? That would be Darin also---I think I have tried it once or twice in my entire life!

14. Who cooks dinner? Usually me, but Darin is great to help out especially when I am pregnant and don't really feel like cooking.

15. Who drives when you are together? Darin---however if he had it his way I would drive while he sat in the back and played nintendo with the boys!

16. Who is more stubborn? Probably me---but I would have to say Darin is a very close second!!

17. Who kissed who first? Darin kissed me---it was the first for both of us and I think it lasted a nano second but was the best nano second of my life!

18. Who asked who out first?
That is a tricky one, because when we started liking each other Darin still had 5 months until he was 16---yes I am a few months older, so we did a lot of just hanging out with all of our friends. However our first official date I can remember came about a month after his birthday and he did the asking.


19. Who proposed? Darin did. It was 5 weeks after he came home from his mission. We went to "our spot" at the temple grounds and he acted as though he was going to break up with me--romantic huh! He said he couldn't take all of the pressure he was receiving to marry me and then paused and whipped out a ring and got on his knee and said "so in that case will you just marry me!" It was great! I laughed----not cried---I couldn't believe it was for real!

20. Who has more siblings? He beats me by two.

21. Who wears the pants in the family? I like to let him think that he does, but he would tell you that it is me. I try to think we both have one leg in each---you'll have to ask him if that is true!

Darin is the best husband and father I could ask for! Thanks for all you do hun---I love you!

Now I would like to tag Angie, Katie G., Rachel, Jen, Lesli and Laura M.

I think it is so sweet that you 2 ended up together. Your family has turned out just perfect.

I don't know if I ever knew the story about how he proposed! Okay, I'm sure you told me 7 years ago when it happened, but since I have NO memory it was like hearing it for the first time! :) Very sweet. You know I've always thought you two were so stinking cute it makes me want to puke. :)
