A little bit about us...as a couple...

I saw this over at Smiling is Good for Your Teeth and thought it was cute, so now, my turn :)

1. What are your middle names?

Joseph & Lou.

2. How long have you been together?

July 4, 2006.

3. How long did you know each other before you started dating?

Age 10 or so...

4. Who asked who out?

He asked me out.

5. How old are each of you? 

He is 27. I am 26.

6. Did you go to the same school?

Nope.

7. Are you from the same home town?

No, I'm for a city south of him.

8. Who is the smartest?

Depends on the subject ;-)

9. Who majored in what?

He dual-majored in Physics and Civil Engineering.  I have my undergrad in Political Science and my master's in business.

10. Who is the most sensitive? 

I'm going to go ahead and say myself.  Neither of us are really that sensitive...which works well for our personalities :)

11. Where is the furthest you two have traveled together as a couple? 

Utah I think.  Snowboarding...woo!!!

12. Who has the worst temper? 

Probably him, followed closely by myself.  We both used to have really bad tempers, but over the years realized they weren't worth it.  We're much more mellow now.

13. How many children do you want? 

None.

14. Who does the cooking?

He probably cooks a little more than I do, but we share that role.

15. Who is more social?

We're both pretty social.

16. Who is the neat freak?

Depends. I am in dealing with the kitchen.  He likes everything to all have it's  place.  We're in a balancing act right now trying to make all of our stuff start to mesh.  I still have a whole house to move over to his :)

17. Who is the most stubborn?

Hmm...I think I win that one.  Although I try not to be, I can't help it sometimes.  He has a stubborn streak too though.

18. Who wakes up earlier?

That's usually equal.  He's happier about getting up early than I am though.

19. Where was your first date? 

The movies to see 'Click'.

20. Who has the bigger family?

I do...by far.

21. Do you get flowers often?

No, I'm not much of a flower gal.  They're nice to get, don't get me wrong, but I'd prefer other gestures over flowers.  John knows :)

22. How do you spend the holidays? 

Thanksgiving: We go run a local 5K and go back to John's parents house to prep for Thanksgiving #1, watch the Macy's parade and visit. After we dine there, we drive down to my parents house and spend another part of our day over there.  Then, we roll back to our side of town to sit in a turkey induced coma.

Christmas: Christmas Eve is spent going to church, followed by dinner at my Aunt's house.  Christmas breakfast at my parent's house and the rest of the day is spent at John's grandparents house.

23. Who is more jealous?  

Um, neither of us really.  I'll give him a hard time sometimes just to tease him, but usually neither of us are really jealous people.  We both know our relationship and each other well enough to be comfortable with what life throws at us.

24. How long did it take to get serious? 

Probably a little too fast for my liking.  I remember thinking, "oh man, this is way too serious for me, should I end this?  I'm not ready".  We've had our bumps but it's all worked out in the end.  I think the serious-fast thing threw us both for a little bit of a loop.

25. Who eats more?

John.  The end.

26. What do you do for a living?

We are both in construction.  He works for a General Contractor and I work for a subcontractor.

27. Who does the laundry? 

Right now, I do mine and help him with his on occasion, but he does his own mostly.  When we get married, I'm sure that'll all be mine.  Although, I'd rather do laundry than other household chores.  Bring it!

28. Who's better with the computer?

John.  He can do pretty much anything on a computer.  He's his company's stand in IT guy.

29. Who drives when you are together? 

90% of the time he does.  I only drive if he really doesn't want to, which is rare, or if I'm feeling in a big hurry and he's moving slow that day.

30. What is your song?  

Well, when he was working on a project out of town, "Hey There Delilah" was a big song, so that was probably our first song.  We've had a couple more over the years too, but our wedding song will probably stick as our song.   You'll have to wait to find out what that is though :)
