I Wanna Be A Cowgirl

I stole this Meme from Cass who stole it from from Jenny’s. Since I never pass up an opportunity to love on my husband, I thought it would be a good thing to do in honor of today being the Hallmark day to love each other more grossly than we do on a regular basis.

How long have you been together? married: 1.5 years - dating: 3.5

How long did you date? It was 10 months before we got engaged, but in that 10 months we had already moved in together and had pretty much been living in sin since day 1. Don’t tell Grandma.

How old is he? 35

Who eats more? Hmm. Not sure. I think him. He definitely eats more dessert, but I can eat more pasta.

Who said ‘i love you’ first? He did. It wasn’t a flat out I Love You really, it was a romantic, “I’m falling in love with you” moment. Excuse me while I go gush.

Who is taller? He is.

Who is smarter? OMG. Totally him. He’s my Webster Dictionary. He actually bought me a dictionary for Christmas this year so that I would stop calling and asking him how to spell ‘exercise’ every time I sat down to write a blog post.

Who does the laundry? Me usually. But since getting pregnant, I don’t have much energy to do anything and I can’t carry the laundry baskets up and down 2 flights of stairs (we live in a townhouse) so he’s been helping out significantly in this area which, since we’ve been together, has really been my thing.

Who does the dishes? We typically share this one, with the rule of whoever cooks, the other cleans, but again, recently I’ve been real busy growing a person so he’s stepped it up here too.

Who sleeps on the right side of the bed? I do. Unless I’m napping. For some reason, his side is better for napping.

Who pays the bills? We split them.

Who mows the lawn? This will NOT be me when we have a lawn to mow. Ew. Grass, ticks, no thanks. Right now we pay common charges that take care of this.

Who cooks dinner? 99.9% of the time he does because unless you want to eat pasta, baked mac & cheese, or meatloaf every night, my culinary skills are what you would call damn limited.

Who is more stubborn? Me on a fairly regular basis. He’s pretty laid back unless it’s one of those stupid macho things like fixing shit around the house. I have no business weighing in on how this is done. Note to self: Just shut up and watch.

Who kissed who first? We kissed each other, but he totally made the first move by sending me a text message that very night while we were in a bar with work people for a Happy Hour that said, “I want to kiss you”. Smooth, right? So smooth.

Who asked who out? I totally asked him to go to lunch with me first. We worked together so if he had said no, it wouldn’t have been like I was rejected for a date. On that lunch though I proceeded to tell him why he’d never want to get together with me. It was something I stupidly assumed because he had just split from his first wife and I was definitely not going to date anyone that didn’t want something serious — I didn’t have time to waste. His response? “If I meet the right person. I’m buying a ring.” Right that second he had my attention. Not to mention my shameless flirting.

Who proposed? He did. And it was awesome. And I had written a whole blog entry about it, but it looks like my old host, blog-city, totally shut down my blog and I never backed up those entries. I’m VERY sad that I lost all those engagement, house hunting, wedding planning posts. Must stop talking about it before I cry.

Who is more sensitive? It depends on the thing. We’re both sensitive about different things. And right now, I’m sensitive about commercials so bad time to ask this question.

Who has more friends? He definitely has more of a core group of friends. “The boys” that have been around since college and have helped him move ten times, etc. I have a lot of friends, but I let few people get real close to me. Tough question.

So there you have it! All about us on this day of love. Tonight we had our annual Indian food dinner, I got beautiful roses and a big bag of Nerds. He got a box of chocolate and a subscription to Men’s Health or Men’s Fitness magazine, whichever he chooses.

I love my husband more with each day that passes and I can’t wait to enter the next phase of our life together: Parenthood.

Happy Valentine’s Day!
