HIS and HERS

I thought this was an appropriate tag since Valentine's Day is this week.

HIS and HERS
This is just like 25 things about me,except there are pre-decided questions and it's about you AND your spouse!! And of course,tag people!!!


1. What are your middle names? Arlene and K. (just the initial, no actual name)
2. How long have you been together? We'll celebrate 10 years of wedded bliss April 24th! We dated for six months before that.
3. How long did you know each other before you started dating? 4 days--we talked on the phone a few times and I loved his sense of humor. I couldn't wait to get to know him better and see him in person!
4. Who asked who out? Jordan invited me to a hockey game but I had to work. In the same conversation he mentioned a football game and I had to REALLY hint to him that I wanted to go before he finally asked, "Oh, would you wanna go?" Duhhh!
5. How old are each of you? I'm 31, he's 34. I always tease him that he's an old man because he's soooo much older than me. Especially now that he's becoming more distinguished (aka--getting gray hair).
6. Whose siblings do you see the most? Mine. His live further away.
7. Do you have any children together? Yes, two girls, two boys.
8. What about pets? No way! And we're both in agreement about that!
9. Which situation is the hardest on you as a couple? Making enough time for just us while having four young children.
10. Did you go to the same school? High school, no. University, yes.
11. Are you from the same town? No. I grew up in Missouri, Jordan in California.
12. Who is the smartest? Since I consistently score higher (by one point!) on the online IQ tests, I'd definitely say I am. But he applies himself more.
13. Who is the most sensitive? Probably me.
14. Where do you eat out most as a couple? Chili's--it's cheap and it has bottomless chips and salsa for my frugal husband.
15. Where is the farthest you have travelled as a couple? Cancun.
16. Who has the craziest exes? I guess me.
17. Who has the worst temper? Hmmm, that's a toss-up. We both get worked up about different things.
18. Who does the cooking? Definitely me, but I don't mind. He brings home the bacon and does a lot of other stuff around the house.
19. Who is more social? Some might think Jordan is because he's so funny and makes people laugh and feel comfortable. But I think I am because I like to go out more and be around people and he'd really rather just stay home.
20. Who is the neat freak? Neither of us. We're both pretty clean, but having four kids has made me less of a freak about things--I just accept now that messes happen.
21. Who is more stubborn? We both are--it's so hard to be humble, to be the first to say "I'm sorry." Especially when I KNOW I'm always right!
22. Who hogs the bed? Jordan, he usually ends up in the middle, which is fine in our king-sized bed, but not so great when we go somewhere and end up sharing something smaller.
23. Who wakes up earlier? Jordan. He usually wakes up around 5:30 to workout before work.
24. Where was your first date? A BYU football game.
25. Who has the bigger family? Neither. He has three sibblings and I have three sibblings. This made it pretty easy to decide to have four children of our own.
26. Do you get flowers often? No. I used to think I wanted them, but now I'd rather spend the money on other stuff, and he knows that.
27. How do you spend the holidays? Usually with my family, because they live closer. But if his family would hurry up and move here, we'd split the time with them as well!
28. Who is more jealous? I am.
29. How long did it take to get serious? Not long. After the first couple of weeks we were together everyday, and we were engaged within three months of our first date.
30. Who eats more? I depends on which of us is trying to "be good" at the moment. Right now, I do.
31. Who does the laundry? When we got married Jordan told me, "I like to clean bathrooms and do laundry." It's great! I usually wash and dry the loads, but he's great about folding everything while watching TV.
32. Who is better with the computer? Jordan, by far, especially the technical parts like setting it up and programming and stuff. And I really don't want to learn. I tell him that's the reason I keep him around:)
33. Who drives when you are together? Usually Jordan, but sometimes I do--especially if I don't feel like giving turn-by-turn directions to somewhere we've been before. He's not good with directions, and he's the first to admit it. He's good at a lot of other things though!


Now I'm tagging Angie, Becca, Carley, Kim, Aimee, and Crystal!
