A meme about your significant other. Stolen from Facebook, Dooce, and Annie. Play along!
What are your middle names?
My middle name is Anne and his is Kenneth.
How long have you been together?
We’ve been together for 4 years and 3 months.
How long did you know each other before you started dating?
About a month.
Who asked whom out?
Daniel did. It was something about “so, are we going to make this for real? I guess you’re my girl.”
How old are each of you?
Me: 27
Him: 29
Whose siblings do you see the most?
Well, since I don’t have any siblings, we do, interestingly, end up seeing his more.
Which situation is the hardest on you as a couple?
Finances.
Did you go to the same school?
Nope. I went to Bob Jones and Daniel was home-schooled in Baltimore.
Are you from the same home town?
No, I’m from Liberty, South Carolina and he doesn’t have a home town really. That sounds sad but I asked him…and he just gave me a puzzled look. I know he grew up in Pennsylvania and considers this his real “home state” but he lived in a few different cities here when he was a child.
Who is smarter?
Hands down, Daniel is. Absolutely without a doubt. We’re both nerds and we aren’t terribly secretive about that but he’s brilliant about pretty much everything. He knows the most trivia of anyone I’ve ever met and I’m constantly asking him to explain things like chemistry, physics, history, etc…and he knows how to explain it all. Which fascinates me because I don’t remember half of what I learned in school.
Who is the most sensitive?
That’s me.
Where do you eat out most as a couple?
Hmm. Since we moved here, I’m not sure. We don’t go to a lot of fancy diners multiple times because a toddler doesn’t always do well in those types of places. We have discovered that Drew likes the atmosphere at Cracker Barrel (he loves to look at the fire, rocking chairs, toys, etc) and he’s always behaved when we go there so I’d say that’s where we go more than any other restaurant. At least, since we’ve moved. And, when we aren’t eating at home.
Where is the furthest you two have traveled together as a couple?
Here, to Pennsylvania.
Who has the craziest exes?
Ha. Daniel doesn’t have any exes so I guess that’d be me. But none of my exes are crazy. That I know of. 😉
Who has the worst temper?
Yeah, that’s me. I’ve damaged things. Daniel just gets really, really quiet and goes into a shell. But I get loud and cry and have to TALK ABOUT FEELINGS and all that.
Who does the cooking?
I do, mostly. But in the past month, Daniel started cooking a lot more.
Who is the neat-freak?
I don’t really know…hmm. Neither of us freak out if there are clothes lying in the floor or towels in the bathroom. The laundry gets done, and so we’re mostly okay with it. But I do know that if Daniel is stressed about work or life in general, then the house will bother him much more. But he won’t ask me to do it – he’ll jump in and started straightening. And that’s when I know that ooooh, so the laundry was bothering you.
Who is more stubborn?
We are actually both very stubborn.
Who hogs the bed?
It used to me but I think I’m much better now.
Who wakes up earlier?
Always me. I used to wake up at 6:30 or earlier when we first got married (I’m very much an Early Bird and Daniel is a Late Owl) but as time has passed, I’ve totally switched and now I stay up late with Daniel and Drew and we all wake up slowly. But I always wake up before Daniel. I have to spend a considerable amount of time waking him and he gets fussy and ornery and stomps off to take his shower and then afterwards, he’s chipper and happy and a completely different man. Hehe.
Where was your first date?
At an Italian restaurant in Easley, SC. Capri’s.
Who is more jealous?
I don’t think either of us are really jealous.
How long did it take to get serious?
All during the month that we were “just talking” it was still very serious – so, I guess from the beginning.
Who eats more?
I don’t really know. Heh. Interesting. I can put away sweets and bread very easily and he rarely, I mean rarely, eats sweets. But he can eat boatloads of bananas and peanut butter and cereal and odd man food that I don’t eat very much of at all. And he gets seconds quite often of main dishes.
Who does the laundry?
I think we both keep it going pretty well. Sometimes he helps me out more and sometimes I have it all done. He likes to fold though.
Who’s better with the computer?
He is. But I get testy about asking him for computer help. I like to solve the problem myself, thankyouverymuch, especially blog-related trouble.
Who drives when you are together?
He does. Unless he has a headache or feels sick.
