Hubby Tag

My cousin Geneve tagged me, and I thought this was a fitting tag since yesterday marked five years since Mitch proposed. Crazy how time just goes so fast.

1.How long have you been together? We've been married for just about five years.
2.How long did we date? Two months and then he left for the summer and I ended up dumping him (long distance doesn't work for me). When school started up again, I realized I just couldn't resist his incredible good looks or was it his intriguing personality? Needless to say, he won me over and we dated for about 4 months before we got engaged!


3. How old is he? 28-Yikes!
4.Who eats more? Mitch
5. Who said, "I love you" first? He did.


6. Who is taller? Mitch
7. Who does the laundry? This is one household chore that I really don't like to do so lots of times it gets washed and dried but then piled on the living room floor because I hate to fold it. After a day or so then we will both fold it and put it away.
8. Who does the dishes? Usually I do any from the morning and we both do them at night.
9. Who sleeps on the right side of the bed? If you are looking at the bed then Mitch. My side is closer to the baby.
10. Who pays the bills? Both of us.
11. Who mows the lawn? I love to mow the lawn because I like the exercise so it usually ends up that I mow the back while Mitch edges and trims and then he does the front.
12. Who cooks dinner? Both, usually when Mitch cooks we have breakfast for dinner. Don't get me wrong, it is delicious!
13. Who is more stubborn? Me
14. Who kissed who first? Mitch kissed me first in Porter Park (anyone from Rexburg knows where this is) all I have to say is after this day me and my roommates gave him the nickname "turbo"!!
15. Who asked who out? Mitch asked me out on Valentines Day- but he had also taken one of my roommates out a week or two earlier so we just thought he liked to shop around.


16. Who proposed? Mitch- we climbed a tree and he told me he had a question to ask and he reached into his pocket-I was very nervous- but then he pulled out these monkeys that pull apart and when they come back together they kiss and say "I love you". Then after a couple more minutes he got on one knee which was very difficult in a tree, and asked me to marry him. So you know the song- Two little monkeys sitting in a tree- well that was us and it couldn't have been more perfect for a gal like me.


17. Who is more sensitive? Me- Mitch never cries.
18. Who has more siblings? He does- 2 brothers and 3 sisters.
19. What were you doing ten years ago? I was in the ninth grade which was my first year of cheer and I think that was also the year I went to England but I could be wrong about that.
20. Five things on my to-do list: since I am in Boise and I guess sort of on vacation I don't really have much on my to-do list.
23. Things I would do if I suddenly become a millionaire: Pay off our house, buy a MDX, take a couple week vacation to Jamaica, stock up on our food storage, and get completely out of debt.
22. Three of my bad habits: procrastination, chewing my nails, over-eating.
23. Five places I have lived: Leesburg, VA; Georgetown, KY; West Des Moines, IA; Cincinnati, OH; Rexburg, ID
24. Five jobs I have had: Classic Rollerskating Snack Bar(high class), Classic Water slides, Fuddruckers, Cracker Barrel, Training Table, Converges, Pinnacle Office Secretary, Old Navy.
25. Things people don't know about me: I have a big lump on the top of my big toe on my left foot that is really squishy but doesn't hurt and I have no idea how I got it, I hate going places on my own (this drives Mitch insane), and I love the fact that my husband can be truly insane and other people always have to look at me to know if they should take him seriously, it is quite comical.



Well hopefully that did not completely bore you to death and if it did then I'm sorry. My life may not seem that great to other people but to me it is the best and I try to enjoy every moment of it!

I now tag: anyone who has not done this tag before. enjoy.
