Valentine's Day Meme

Thanks, Miss Millie, for the fun tag!

How long have you been married?4 Years in May

How long did you date? We had dated for three months when we first started talking marriage, 5 months when we got engaged, and 11 when we got married.

How old is he? About 2 1/2 years older than I.

Who eats more? Well, I've got a pretty ravenous appetite while I'm nursing. But he can put it away too. I guess it would depend on what's being eaten.

Who said "I love you" first? He did. He wrote it actually, inside of a Rachmaninoff piano book he gave me for my birthday a couple of months after we started dating.

Who is taller? Cori

Who is smarter? We each have our fields of specialty. He is very smart. He's got a great mind for numbers and technical analysis. He reads a little faster than I do to (which kinda bugs me :)) But I'm better at abstract/creative thinking, such as is useful in artistic analysis. We both have different kinds of people smarts too. He's really good at being a leader and pulling people together to get big things done. I'm really good at working the back stage.

Who does the laundry? Me mostly. But he helps whenever he can.

Who does the dishes? He does them when he doesn't have someplace to run after dinner. Wonderful man.

Who sleeps on the right side of the bed? I do. It is closer to the door and Grant.

Who pays the bills? I do the physical paying of most of them, but we put our heads together about that stuff every month.

Who mows the lawn? This question implies that we actually have a lawn. When we get one in this Spring, I'll bet he is the one on the mowing scene.

Who cooks dinner? Me. But Cori loves to cook when he gets a chance. He usually makes a big breakfast on Saturday mornings.

Who is more stubborn? Tricky. I bet if both he and I were standing next to each other when asked this question, our response would be to point at one another.

Who kissed who first? The answer to this one would be a little long in its entirety, and Cori would tell you a different story. But as I'm writing the answers here, I'll give you my version. It was taking him forever to kiss me (and this is where Cori would interject that I kept giving him mixed signals) and it was driving me nuts. Right before my birthday, I went to Portland for my mission buddy's wedding. Cori was having a hard time deciding on what to get me and consulted my sister for ideas. She, in classic Sara form, told him that he could go ahead and kiss me already. I think this cleared up any 'mixed signals' that were confusing him. We made plans to have lunch on my way home from the airport upon my return from OR. I remember calling him while I was waiting for my luggage. I told him I'd be on my way to his office as soon as I got my bags. "Hurry," he said. The rest was kisstory.

Who asked who out? He asked me. And I spent a whole minute and a half thinking he was the biggest jerk because I was under the impression that he was still in another relationship. I actually had to mention it because I was so confused, but he had broken up with her some 4 or 5 weeks before asking me out.

Who proposed? He did. We watched the sunrise in the mountains up Payson Canyon on a cold dewy morning. It was very Keira-Knightley-and-that-one-guy-in-Pride-and-Prejudice-esque.

Who is more sensitive? We are both sensitive. We are learning how to make this a good thing in our relationship though. Sensitivity can be great when it is centered on concern for one another.

Who has more friends? We both have circles of close friends and bigger networks of more loose-tie friends. All of our friends are dear to us.

Who has more siblings? He does. He's no. 2 of 6 and I'm no. 1 of 4
