my seester tagged me, and i tag everybody in the blogging couples group, and anybody (anybody?) who reads this. tell me when you're done so i can be sure to read it.

1. Who is your man? Jonathan David Carroll

2. How long have you been together? we met sometime in 1999, and the story goes that jonjon thought of us as a couple by our birthdays, but i really couldn't believe that he would want to be with me until december when he said he loved me.

3. How long dated? if it had been in our hands, we would have been engaged by like january, but to make a looooooooongstory short, we got engaged in august 2000.

4. How old is your man? he turned 29 on monday!

5. Who eats more? it depends. if i'm having a good day, he does (a little), on a bad day i totally leave him in the dust!

6. Who said "I love you" first? jonathan did at a christmas party at a friends house. it was really crowded we were across the room from each other and i looked at him and he just mouthed "i love you". honest to goodness i nearly fainted.= ) actually, things still get a little hazy when he tells me he loves me!= )

7. Who is taller? jonathan, i'm 5'3" (and 3/4"!) and he's 6 feet tall.

8. Who sings better? without a doubt, jonathan. he sings wonderfully and writes the most wonderful songs. i can't carry a tune in a bucket.....

9. Who is smarter? i like to think we're about equal, but in different areas. we compliment each other well, i think.

10. Whose temper is worse? hmmmmm. we're both be-quietly-upset-and-don't-say-anything-until-the-other-one-drags-it-out-of-you types, so it's hard to tell.

11. Who does the laundry? me! i actually kindof enjoy laundry. i can watch movies while i fold and iron, and i still get a thrill from seeing our clothes all together.= )

12. Who takes out the garbage? whichever one of us remembers to grab it when we're heading out the door and have time to go through the basement. if we're together, jonathan always takes it form me.

13. Who sleeps on the right side of the bed? when we're in it, or looking at it? him if we're in it, me if you're looking at it.

14. Who pays the bills? jonanthan.

15. Who is better with the computer? jonathan.

16. Who mows the lawn? no one! we live in the city! (and that's the way we like it!)

17. Who cooks dinner? i do. i enjoy cooking and, hello!, he works, i stay home, duh.

18. Who drives when you are together? jonathan. he's the better driver, and i like to knit when we go anywhere that takes more than 15 minutes.

19. Who pays when you go out? jonathan, although it doesn't really matter who puts the card on the table, because we've never kept separate finances, and jonathan's the one who works, so unless we wanted to get into some freaky allowance thing, or he started "paying" me for dishes and laundry, it's all "ours". (have i ever mentioned how wonderful it is that i have a husband who never makes me feel less important because i'm not bringing home a paycheck?)

20. Who is most stubborn? probably me.

21. Who is the first to admit when they are wrong? by the time we're taling about it (whatever it is) we usually both need to ask some forgiveness, and i don't think one of us goes first more often.

22. Whose parents do you see the most? both about the same.

23. Who kissed who first? good question. i think we met halfway.

24. Who asked who out? um.... our dating wasn't normal so nobody really asked the other one out. i fell in love first.

25. Who proposed? jonathan did at the lake by singing me a song he wrote. i cried and a policeman came to tell us the park was about to close and we would need to go and then figured out what was going on. it was pretty funny. it's hard to jump on and snuggle a man holding a guitar.

26. Who is more sensitive? to what? tickling? jonathan. criticism? me.

27. Who has more friends? jonathan.

28. Who has more siblings? jonathan. he's the middle child (yes, i know) with an older brother and a younger sister (my voonderbob seester!), and i just claim his siblings and best friends as my brothers (and seester!)

29. Who wears the pants in the family? jonathan. i prefer skirts, they make my hips look smaller.= )

and as the icing on the cake, some piccies of my man's berfday!
