Tagged

I've been tagged by my sister, Lydia. I'm not sure I like this game, but I will give it a try, just because I love my sister.

Who Do You Love? I love my husband Jon, of course. We have fun together! :)
How Long Have You Been Married? Almost 7 years....Time flies! Our anniversary is actually this month. Happy Anniversary Jon!
Who Said I Love You First? I'm honestly not sure. I do know that we both kind of pretended that we didn't like each for the longest time. I asked him on the first official date, a girls choice dance, and then he asked me out for a 7 Brides for 7 Brothers date a couple of weekends later. I knew he was serious when he brought me flowers...Jon just didn't bring girls flowers. :)
How Long Did You Date? Umm...We can never quite figure out the answer to this question. We met May 1999 and we were friends that school year. We seriously dated the summer of 2000. He proposed February 2001 and we were married May 2001...so I guess that means we knew each other for a couple of years, but we weren't necessarily dating the entire time.
Where Did He Propose? The Sahuaro National Park in Tucson...It was very romantic and quite unexpected. We had traveled to Idaho a couple of weeks earlier and Jon asked for my dad's permission to marry me, and we shopped for wedding rings , so I did know it was coming eventually. However, we were unsuccessful in making a decision on the ring. (I couldn't decide between white gold and yellow gold.) Anyway, we decided to go hiking in the park. Jon hurried and ate his sandwich and all of a sudden wanted to take a picture. I started fiddling with the camera. In the meantime, Jon got on one knee and read a proposal poem to me. Oh, and did I mention that the sun was just starting to set. I was impressed with Jon's boldness in picking the ring for me (it's beautiful), and he really is quite a poet!
Who Is Taller? Jon.
Who Is Smarter? It depends on the subject. Jon impresses me constantly, but there are times when I correct him on his grammar. :)
Who Does The Laundry? Lately, me. I have the time. Sometimes Jon refers to me as the laundry fairy.
Who Pays The Bills? Both of us have taken the job at different times in our marriage. Currently, Jon does it.
Who Mows The Lawn? Both of us...I grew up mowing lawns. I actually enjoy the smell of the fresh cut grass and being outdoors. Call me crazy!
Who Cooks Dinner? Both...Jon and I enjoy cooking together. However, I know both of us appreciate it when we come home and the other person has gone ahead and made dinner. As a sidenote - I wash the dishes, and Jon rinses and dries. :)
Who Drives? Mostly Jon. I love it, especially when we drive in the afternoon. For some reason, that afternoon sun always puts me to sleep.
Who do I tag? My friend, Carley...Enjoy!

I enjoy mowing the lawn as well, grew up doing it. I guess that is a good thing seeing that I will probably be the one doing it for the next 5 years!
