I stole this from a wonderful family member who wrote it on Feb 10, 2009 (2 days ago)
Valentine 25 (stolen from my sister)
Now here are my answers:
♥ How long have you been together? A bit over 45 years.
♥ How long did you know each other before you started dating? Not a moment! It was a blind date...
♥ Who asked who out? Another couple asked each of us out... I mean, Mary asked me and Phil asked him and then we all went together for the blind date. And Bob and Carol came, too.
♥ How old are each of you? I'm 65, he's 67.
♥ Whose siblings do/ did you see the most? About the same. It takes a cross-country trip to see them, and then we do them all at once, his sister and my brother and sister. In that order.
♥ Do you have any children together? Six. And 27 grandchildren.
♥ What about pets? We have a few grandpets and that is enough.
♥ Which situation is the hardest on you as a couple? Nothing. We're having a wonderful time doing and teaching family history research and enjoying all the benefits of being on a mission.
♥ Did you ever go to the same school? Never once. But while he was teaching at the University of Arizona, I was a grad student there in a very different department.
♥ Are you from the same home town? No, but we think our paths probably crossed.
♥ Who is the smartest? Depends on who you ask! And the answer is him. In fact, I used to be pretty smart until I married him...
♥ Who is the most sensitive? Definitely me. But deep down he is a bucket of sensitivity.
♥ Where do you eat out most as a couple? Nowhere. But if we were still in Tucson it would be Mariscos Chihuahua. Now we just love to eat at our sons' houses.
♥ Where is the furthest you two have traveled together as a couple? Hainan, China, in the South China Sea, probably, unless it's some other place in China. Definitely China. But I wish it was to Mars (and back).
♥ Who has the craziest exes? He doesn't have exes.
♥ Who has the worst temper? Oh, me, definitely. He doesn't have one.
♥ Who does the cooking? He is the prep chef and I am the real chef. We always cook together now.
♥ Who is more social? We're both show-offs in our own settings. He impresses, I .... I use a lot of energy connecting with people, strangers and co-workers and friends. But we're also both reclusive at times.
♥ Who is the neat freak? That would not be me!
♥ Who is the more stubborn? Shockingly, he is. He doesn't really yield.
♥ Who hogs the bed? We do. We like to live in places that are cold at night so we can keep each other warm.
♥ Who wakes up earlier? Right now the alarm wakes up first. And I have always been a morning person, but now it's a matter of just hoping the night is over when I wake up at 3:30 - and then having the smarts to go back to sleep.
♥ Where was your first date? A Dartmouth College football game weekend.
♥ Who has the bigger family? We both come from teensy families - he has one sister, I have one of each.
♥ Do you get flowers often? He likes to give them, but I don't like to get them. I like electronics.
♥ Who is more jealous? Mostly we're not jealous anymore, but this one lady in the library really annoys me...
♥ How long did it take to get serious? It took him a brief moment, and took me a long time - about 4 months.
♥ Who eats more? Him at meals and me total.
♥ Who does/ did the laundry? He does. Except I put away my clothes, mostly.
♥ Who’s better with the computer? I am. I have an intimate relationship with them, while he's a bit of an outsider. I know what they're thinking, and he's just mad that they're thinking it.
♥ Who drives when you are together? Me unless we're pulling the trailer, then him.
Now don't forget to share! YOUR TURN!!!!
