I got tagged by two different people last week, so I'm just going to combine it into one! Here it goes!!!
HOW DID WE MEET?: Bruce & I met in a singles ward. He was new to our ward and I was hosting the dinner club. Then later we played on the ward volleyball team together, but didn't go on our first date until about two or three years later.
WHERE DID YOU GO ON YOUR FIRST DATE?: We went to a Stanford vs. ASU football game.
HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN TOGETHER?: This Thursday we will be celebrating our 6th anniversary! WAHOO!!!! And we're still
SOOOOO in
love! (I'm hearing the gags as I write.)
WHO SAID 'I LOVE YOU' FIRST?: We can't remember, but we did say a lot of them and still do!
WHO SINGS BETTER?: Me.
WHO DOES THE LAUNDRY?: Me. However, when needed Bruce gladly helps out.
WHO DOES THE DISHES?: Well, most of the time it's me, but Bruce does them when he's tired of seeing them in the sink. Right now it's hard to keep the kitchen clean while Rebecca is awake. She likes to climb on the chairs, then the table. It's really hard to do dishes and watch her at the same time. Plus, I'm not a big fan of unloading the dishwasher, so sometimes the dishes get a little piled up.
WHO SLEEPS ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE BED?: I do.
WHO PAYS THE BILLS?: Automatic bill-pay does for the most part. If a check needs to be written for something, usually Bruce takes care of that. I'm supposed to be the book keeper, though. Well, me and Quicken.
WHO MOWS THE LAWN?: Bruce -- since we've moved into this new house, Bruce has been working hard on the backyard. It's looking so nice! I love it that the lawn is staying
green!
WHO COOKS DINNER?: I cook dinner Sun.-Fri. and on Saturdays Bruce grills something absolutely scruptious. He is the better cook in this house. It's just convenient for me to cook the rest of the week. I can do it, but Bruce always makes everything taste really good. He's got the knack.
WHO DRIVES WHEN YOU ARE TOGETHER?: Bruce does. I like it better that way. I feel like I can sit back and enjoy the ride when he drives.
WHO IS MORE STUBBORN?: I don't know. I wouldn't really define either of us as stubborn.
WHO KISSED WHO FIRST?: We don't remember, but it was a
fun first kiss I can say that much.
WHO IS MORE SENSITIVE?: Me. I'm the more high-strung out of the two of us. Bruce is more laidback and relaxed. I worry too much about little things sometimes.
WHO PROPOSED?: Bruce proposed at the temple on the east side. I screamed,
"YES!!!" before he could even finish the question. My favorite part was when he said,
"The ring sparkles like your eyes." Yep, sounds like it's straight from a romance novel, but he said it to me and my heart just went "pitter-pat -- I'm in love."
WHO HAS MORE SIBLINGS?: I do. I come from a family of seven (4 boys, 3 girls) and Bruce a family of four (3 boys, 1 girl)
WHO WEARS THE PANTS?: It depends on the situation. I think I talk about what needs to happen and what needs to be done more often. But, Bruce makes suggestions as well, and always has better solutions too. Bruce and I tend to work together pretty much every day. I think it's necessary these days to really help each other out. We share many of the responsibilities of the children and the house. We hope we're teaching our children to work as well.
3 obsessions: I really wouldn't call them obsessions because I think that's an awfully strong word.
1) my family
2) paper crafting
3) reading (when it's a good book, I become invisible)
3 words or phrases that I use the most:
I don't think I have any. Can anyone else answer this question for me?
3 things I want to do before I die:
1) Travel w/Bruce, especially back to Italy
2) go sky diving
3) take some art classes
3 things I've learned:
1) Our Heavenly Father is in charge and truly seeking to get us all back
2) I'm stronger than I think (not physical strength, but the strength within)
3) that prayers are
ALWAYS answered
3 places I'd love to go:
1) Vancouver, Canada
2)New York
3) on a church tour that includes everything but Nauvoo (we already did that trip)
3 things I want or need:
1) new wardrobe
2) & 3) my house completely unpacked and decorated
Well, there you have it!
ASU's favorite fan greeted us with his presence!
We had Belle, the pretty princess too!
A clown, Dorothy, Dancin' Diva, and Sleeping Beauty showed up for the fun as well.
There was fun pumpkin making/carving!
We had mini hamburgers, hot dogs in a blanket, french fries, fruit, and a yummy spider cupcake for dessert.
The cutest ladybug you've ever seen came to give us some really good laughs!
Nannie & Papa, of course, could not miss the occasion!
