Valentine Meme

Posted in Meme at 8:49 am by Meg

I stole this from here, it looks like fun. I have changed/dropped some of the questions.
1. What is his name? Hubby - no, not really, but I’m not changing my rules just for some meme. How’s this: His name is !@#%*&%$, but he goes by: &*(%
2. How long have you been together? A lifetime? Let’s see, we started dating on June 21, 1986 - so that would make it nearly 22 years. (We were good friends first, so I’ve known him since 1982.)

3. How long did you date? From June 21, 1986 to August 26, 1989 - we’ve lived together since August 1988, but were only engaged for 4 months before our wedding.

4. How old is he? 44

5. Who said I love you first? I have no idea anymore. Does it matter at this point?

6. Who’s taller? He is.

7. Who can sing better? ME! no questions there.

8. Who is smarter? Him.

9. Who does the laundry? Me

10. Who pays the bills? I’ve done it before, he does it now. I usually work on the taxes.

11. Who sleeps on the right side? He does. I don’t sleep well on that side of the bed.

12. Who mows the lawn? a service. We’ve got 3/4 of an acre and prior to moving here we’d only had a push mower. I don’t want to mow it and he doesn’t have the time - it’s been the best decision.

13. Who cooks dinner? Usually me, though when Hubby cooks, we eat out.

14. Who drives? Split. He dislikes driving my minivan, so if we take it - I’m driving nearly all the time. But if we take his little car - he drives.

15. Who is more stubborn? I’m going to say him, but he’d probably say me

16. Who kissed who first? Six? (family joke) I have no idea anymore.

17. Who asked who out first? I plead the fifth.

18. Who proposed? He did. He was in grad school and had just been told that his funding was cut and so instead of another year, he was going to have to finish that summer. He had gone home for spring break while I stayed in Providence working (I think my Dad and Step-mom passed through during that week). He came back that weekend to me having a crappy couple of days. I knew he had something up his sleeve, but he wouldn’t tell me what it was.

We were going to his uncle’s wedding the next weekend in DC and my car needed brakes …. He had planned on some sort of special thing, but on seeing what my week was turning into in order to be able to drive down, he purposed on that Wednesday evening. At the time, I shared an office with another woman engineer and we’d spent the last day of so trying to figure out what he was up to. We nailed it.

19. Who is more sensitive? Me, at least in the crying end of it.

20. Who has more siblings? I do. He’s got 2 alive and one that’s past away. I have 3 alive (if you count the vegetable that my brother is, as alive) and 2 step-siblings.

Any one else want to play?
