Time for another tag

What's your husband's name? Paul (technically Elden, but he goes by his middle name)

How long have you guys been married? Just shy of 3 years

How long did you date? Nine months

How old is he? 28

Who eats more sweets? Me...but he's not too far behind

Who said I Love You first? It was a tie, I think

Who is taller? Paul

Who is the better singer? Me, but he's not too bad himself

Who is smarter? Paul

Who does the laundry? I do.

Who pays the bills? Me. (As a side note, today Paul handed me the instructions to a tool he received so I could file them away in our "Instructions" filing spot. After doing so, he looked sincerely at me and said, "You can never die!" Not that he was worried that he wouldn't be able to operate any of our appliances without me, but he really doesn't participate in any part of the financial/organizing part of life. He really would be lost. I don't mind it though.)

Who sleeps on the right side of the bed? Paul. We actually both have a hard time falling asleep on the other person's side of the bed.

Who mows the lawn? Usually Paul...I haven't mowed since Hattie was born. But I actually like doing it.

Who cooks dinner? We cook together as long as he's home.

Who drives? We were just discussing this the other day. I think whoever is "instigating" the outing drives. If we are going to the fabric store, I drive. If we are going to Lowe's, he drives. On mutual outings, like Church, we alternate depending on whoever is ready first.

Who is the first to say they are wrong? Me. At least I think so.

Who kissed who first? Paul

Who asked who out first? Me, hahaha

Who wears the pants? We each wear them on different days for different things.

I'll tag: Erika, Eden, and Miranda

Husband Tag

1- Where did you meet? The first time was in the Clubhouse at Stadium Terrace where he lived at BYU. He was sitting on a couch and refused to move since that was where the air conditioning vent was blowing.

2- How long did you date before you were married? about 9 months

3- How long have you been married for? 2 1/2 years


4- What does he do that surprises you? He loves to cook with me...and he's obsessed with board games (which obsession, oddly enough, I initiated by introducing him to Settlers).

5- What's your favorite feature about him? His legs. In high school they called him T-Rex because his legs were so strong from playing soccer so much.

6- What's your favorite quality about him? His love of learning. I love how excited he gets when he's explaining something he learned...whether it's astronomy, anatomy, something in sports, or anything random. He gets all excited and worked up and is just dying to share everything he knows about it with you.

7- Does he have a nickname for you? What is it? Wif or Wifity or Love

8- What's his favorite color? Blue

9- What's his favorite food? Iverson-style burgers

(they look good, eh? No other burgers compare)

12- When and where was your first kiss? 4 days after we started dating. On the swing on the back porch of the Stone House where I lived.

13-What's your favorite thing to do as a couple? Go rock climbing. Too bad we live in Texas now...we need to find a new one. Lately it's been eating Blue Bell Ice Cream, a wonderful part of being in Texas.

(that's me, not him)

14-Do you have kids? How many? 1, if you couldn't tell

15- What's a hidden talent that he has? Hidden...hum...not sure, but there's some unique stuff he does: makes bread, bakes pies, knows all the constellations, knows how to basket weave, and has an amazing memory for details.

16- How old is he? 28 in one month - that means he'll be almost 37 by the time he's done with med school/residency

17- What's his favorite type of music? Er, rock? We don't listen to music all that much

18- What do you admire most about him? I love how he thinks deeply about things and is constantly analyzing how he is doing in all aspects of his life.

20- Do you think he is going to read this? Yes.
