Survey Time!

Yay, I got tagged to do this fun survey! I honestly was about to fib and say I got tagged by a made-up friend or something because I wanted to do it and needed something fun to blog about! So now I don't have to lie, and can go for it!

How long have you been together? About....a year and a half. Married for almost 9 months.

How long did you date? Hum...about 4 or 5 months. Looking back it was so short, but it was just perfect. It's true, you "just know" when it's right...

How old is he? 29....almost 30! I always joke that he's old...I say mean things like, "Do you want to hurry and have kids? You know...so that you're not too old to pick them up and stuff?" haha, good times....you can imagine his reaction!

Who eats more? Doesn't the husband always? Mine does! I mean, he's a guy!

Who said "I love you" first? He did. It was cute because he was so nervous. He said, "I need to know your long-term plans..." then we got talking and he said, "Because I kinda love you....and by kinda I mean...really." Aw! And apparently I took a really long time to return it, I maintain that I was soaking it all in!

Who is taller? RJ is...again, aren't most husbands?! Probably because they eat more....

Who is smarter? Depends on the topic...he's brilliant with computers, and with creative stuff. He always has great ideas for my classroom and stuff

Who does the laundry? We each do our own...isn't that weird? It works out well though, and I'm sure it'll change once we have kids. We share the washing of sheets, towels, rugs, etc.

Who does the dishes? We both do. Usually who ever didn't cook.

Who sleeps on the right side of the bed? RJ does. We tried to switch once, it was weird and neither of us could sleep!

Who pays the bills? Again, shared. He usually writes all the checks and I mail them off. Auto bill pay does a lot of the work too!

Who mows the lawn? Yay for HOA! (Ok...I didn't mean for that to rhyme!)

Who cooks dinner? It's mostly shared...I'd like to do more, maybe in the summer when I'm not at school late everyday! RJ's a very good cook- he likes to surprise me with breakfast a lot...so good at french toast, with warm homemade maple syrup!

Who is more stubborn? Hum....does Dizzy count? Probably me...RJ's too easygoing to put up a fight!

Who kissed who first? He'd claim that I kissed him first....but I just initiated the lean! Plus, someone had to do it...he was taking so long! He says I kept running off when we said goodbye so he never had the chance. I was scared!

Who asked who out? Hum... he came by my classroom all the time to hang out after school (which the kids frequently pointed out! "Teacher, I think Mr. Cox likes you...")...and one day I asked if he wanted to go get a snackwrap from McDonald's (I know, we're super classy)...so I guess that counts? He invited me to come work on a decorating thing at the school...not sure that was a date, but it was fun! Finally he asked if he could take me out on a "real" date. He had flowers delivered before he picked me up and everything...it was really cute!

Who proposed? He did, it was so great! On Monday, the principal sent out an email saying we had a quick assembly at the end of the day on Friday about all the red burn days we'd been having. I am kinda dense and didn't think a thing of it. So, Friday came and I took my class to the assembly. The principal started explaining the things we'll be doing for inside recess, and I remember thinking it was kindof a lame assembly, like they could have just explained all this in an email. Then she said they'd have an American Idol room for the kids to sing and we have a few guest singers to demonstrate. The secretary sang a cute song, then the curtain came up...and there was RJ in a tux! I'm so dumb, and was thinking how weird it was that he was performing and hadn't told me. Suddenly it clicked and I was freaking out! I was so nervous! He had our mascot, Captain Eagle, come get me and all the kids were dying! He sang a fun song and gave me roses, a bear, candy...and at the end....the ring! The kids were so cute and so grossed out (especially when we kissed!)....he even had his family and my family sneak in the back of the assembly! Anyway, it was really fun and it meant a lot that it was at the school since it was where we met (and most of our dates!). When we got married we had an open house there for all the kids with creamies and our principal decorated the playground SO cute for it.

Who is more sensitive? Depends....I'd say RJ is a lot more caring and sweet than most guys, but I can be too...I am a girl after all!

Who has more friends? Eh....I probably have kept in touch with more because of Chi Omega, but he has a lot of close ones too since he is from Logan.

Who has more siblings? RJ...he has 2 sisters and 2 brothers, I have 2 brothers.

Who wears the pants in the relationship? Depends on the situation....RJ puts his foot down when he needs to...but I can talk him into things pretty easily! We're pretty equal. We're good at negotiating when we need to for important issues.

Ok, that was really fun and my tagging need is fulfilled! haha. I tag....Mindee and Sara. Enjoy!
