in lieu of valentines day

{vegas 2006}

stolen from melissa’s blog {thanks melissa}

answer and post your own so i can learn more about you and your significant other!

what are your middle names? earl and tripp

how long have you been together? 14 years

how long did you know each other before you started dating? we didn’t know each other at all. he asked me "out" like 14 year olds do because he thought i was cute. i'm sure i provoked it though

how old were each of you when you met? i was 13 and he was 14

how old are each of you now? husband is 28 and i am 27

how tall are each of you? 5'10" and 5’8”

whose siblings do/did you see the most? we see both equally

do you have any children together? yes, three

what about pets? molly the beagle. she smells terrible

did you go to the same school? yes. jr. high and highschool

are you from the same hometown? yes
who is the smartest? hahahaha that’s a loaded question. husband knows a lot about a lot of things that i know nothing about and visa versa. i’m pretty sure neither of us have ever had our iq’s tested so i cannot accurately answer that question

who is the most sensitive? i would say that we’re equally sensitive

where do you eat out most as a couple? we are particularly fond of the porcupine pub and epic casual dining

where is the furthest you two have traveled together as a couple? tennessee for the domestic goddesses wedding

who has the worst temper? unfortunately, we both get fired up equally. fortunately, for our kids, we seem to be able to calm the each other down. we’re not usually upset at the same time

who does/did the cooking? i do the cooking, thank you

who is more social? husband is probably more comfortable and willing to be in social situations. i’m a hermit

who is the neat-freak? we both prefer a tidy environment

who hogs the bed? depends on who you ask. since you’re asking me, i’d say he hogs the bed

who wakes up earlier? husband always.

who has the bigger family? our immediate families are a tie. my extended family is much larger

how do you spend the holidays? big holidays we try to make it even by either taking turns every other year or spreading the love to both families equally

who is more jealous? i wouldn’t say either of us are jealous. except when i lost a little weight that one time {remember?} and the husband must have forgotten why he married me in the first place {because i was hot toot! toot!} and got a little jealous when he remembered how much nicer i look when i’m thin. {this is just my take on things}

do you have little pet names for each other? for years we called each other “dude” then we matured right up. we call each other “babe” most of the time unless we’re feeling really lovey then “honey” might slip out but you can never know when to take that seriously

how long did it take to get serious? depends on what you mean by “serious” and i won’t answer that question

who eats more? he does for sure

who sings better? did you forget i was a madrigal and he was not?

who’s older? him by an inch {who acts older should be a question}

who does the dishes? sigh. me. mostly.

who snores? he does only when he’s congested and laying on his back so i dare say that won’t count. i don’t know if i snore and neither would he. remember my post below about his self induced coma he slips into every night?

who’s better with the computer? he figures things out better but i am able to navigate most software and programs better ... maybe that's because i'm on here more?

who drives when you are together? usually him unless he’s tired like that time fell asleep driving us home from the zoo in the middle of the day and nearly killed us all. i drive at those times.

who is the first to admit when they're wrong? i’m never wrong. he’s never right

who kissed who first? i think he pinned me down, literally, and kissed me

who has more tattoos? thankfully, also a tie

who eats more sweets? he does most of the time unless i’m premenstrual

are you two still a couple? oh, we’re much more than just a couple

I laughed at a few things on here! They were funny! You guys ar ea very cute couple! And no matter if your stick thin or not...you are still beautiful, and a great catch!

P.S. You asked about the recipes... Well, the bean dip is VERY healthy. I believe it is about 137 calories for 1/2 a cup or something. And it is loaded with protein and the fat from the avacados is "good" fat. The porck chops ummm.... not so healthy but DELICIOUS!!! I'll be posting another really good recipe that is healthy and good sometime this week!

I loved reading all about you and Jake. I had to steal the idea off your blog, so you can read about Kev and I later on. Hope all is going well.
