A survey because I am still feeling like a warthog

What are your middle names?
Mine is Elizabeth. He doesn't have one. Therefore, our daughter has two middle names to make up for his mother's oversight in that department.

How long have you been together?
Almost three years. Three!

How long did you know each other before you started dating?
Mmmm...about six months, though he spent that six months asking me out almost daily. Weekly at least.

Who asked whom out?
He asked me. See above :)

How old are each of you?
I'm old, he's not AS old. Just kidding. We're both 23, there's a period of about 70 days though where I am older.

Whose siblings do you see the most?
His, definitely. She's 7 and lives about 15 minutes away so we babysit her rather regularly. Which is why I plan to move away (FAR!!)from here before she turns 14.

Which situation is the hardest on you as a couple?
Definitely my desire to stay home with Little Berry instead of entering the job force. Yeah, I know. I'm a prick.

Did you go to the same school?
Still do. Met at one school, and together transferred to our current institution. In fact, if it weren't for a particular literature class that SOMEONE didn't want to take, we never would have met at all.

Are you from the same home town?
No. Way.
He doesn't count mine as a "town" but as ehm, "the STICKS." HE grew up in Ithaca New York. Oh yes, he's northerner.

Who is smarter?
Wellllllll...... you're a presumptuous little survey aren't ya! What makes you think either of us are smart?
I'd say that together we make an excellent team and alone we are just average, although our grades and achievements say differently at times.

Who is the most sensitive?
Mrm, next question!

Where do you eat out most as a couple?
Too many places! I prefer this AMAZING place called Lime and Basil on Franklin Street (yes, the Franklin Street) and he likes California Pizza Kitchen and The Cheesecake Factory.

Where is the furthest you two have traveled together as a couple?
I guess Maryland? But we got a travel scholarship that's paying for us to go to Ireland this spring. So does that count?


Who has the worst temper?
Meeeeeeee. Let's just say that hormones are taking the fall for a LOT these days.

Who does the cooking?
Both of us, but rarely together. He always cleans the kitchen before he starts cooking, this makes no sense to me and I do it after.

Who is the neat-freak?
Again,both. He's great at keeping papers organized. I can't stand if the clothes are folded wrong. And yes, there is a wrong way to fold a towel/tee shirt/ onesie. He insists that any other woman would be grateful for a man who even TRIED and to that I say "fine, but I don't see you with that other woman, so the sleeves go IN."

Who is more stubborn?
Pshaw. I can't even answer this because we. are. both. stubborn. to a fault.

Who hogs the bed?
Pappa Starbucks, and Little Berry. They both take up a lot more space than babies (and skinny people) should be allowed to take.

Who wakes up earlier?
Me. Gawd, I love mornings. He looooves the snooze button. In fact, he has never gotten up to the (first) buzz of the alarm clock since we have been together. Maybe the third.

Where was your first date?
Asheville....
He took me to Malaprops :) and it rained. All in one day.

Who is more jealous?
Hm, I dunno. I get very jealous of the energy his mother requires from him. He is definitely a Mamma's boy.

How long did it take to get serious?
It was serious from the get-go. Once I realized I liked him, I knew he was the one. But I should have gotten to know his mother better first. Did I already say that?

Who eats more?
I eat more FOOD. But he easily consumes more calories. Have you seen that man's starbuck's drink? HELLO. It's got more calories than a family in Cambodia consumes in a month.
((Triple (or quad, depending upon JUST how tired he is) Venti Breve Milk Black and White Mocha, WITH Whip)).

Who does the laundry?
Mmmmme. Except the whites, because I cannot pour bleach without spilling it. I kid you not.

Who's better with the computer?
Him. He's so smart it's disgusting, and he's always telling me to do this or that and makes sure my laptop is charged. Isn't that sweet?

Who drives when you are together?
HIM! But only 'cause I have to be ready at the little lady's demanding for entertainment and such. You'd be amazed, but I can nurse while she's in the car seat. Talk about convenient!
