ReubMAN of the House

1.How long have you been married? about 3 1/2 years
2.How long did you date? Too long! We met in 1998, and married in 2004. Best thing I've ever done!
3.Who eats more sweets? Unfortunately that is ME. I have the biggest sweet tooth. He's more of a real food kind-a guy.
4.Who said I love you first? Oh no! I really can't remember! I might have to consult the ol' journal for this one. It MIGHT have been me? I should ask Roob. Now I feel dumb that I don't remember!
5.How old is he? 32--He likes to remind me that I am about 3 months older than him. Dang it. But we're both closing in on 33...*sigh*
6.Who is taller? Him. We just had a big show down over how tall he was, though. I thought 5'8" and he was insulted! He says he's at least 5'9" or 5'10". ha ha ha. Well at least he is taller than me at any rate!
7.Who is smarter? Well Roob is REALLY good with vocab & writing, and solving ANY kind of man-problems...like electrical stuff, handy man stuff, car probs, etc. He is pretty smart to me! Oh, and he is a political genius--how could I forget that? I just think I am an average smartie.
8.Who can sing better? Ok I get to win this time! But he is pretty good himself.
9.Who does the laundry? Me, but usually with him reminding me to do it since I hate doing laundry. (And now that Jase is here, the laundry is NEVER ending.) Ugh.
10.Who pays the bills? I pay them all (usually they are all late, too) except the car payments (he pays those).
11.Who sleeps on the right side of the bed? Well that depends on if you are laying in it or standing and looking at it. If you are laying in the bed, I am on the right side. I don't really care what side I sleep on, but I think he prefers to be closest to the bedroom door. That way he can grab the gun and blow up the bad guy to protect me. Aww.
12.Who mows the lawn? He does. The entire acre. Poor guy. That is why I do the laundry! Heh.
13.Who cooks dinner? I do. Though he has a really good fajita recipe that I should have him cook again sometime.
14.Who drives? If we are both in the car, it's definitely Reuben. It is not worth it or me to drive bc it makes him crazy. He is a total backseat driver! I'd rather let him drive than listen to "turn here, speed up, pass this guy, you could have gone by now, stop, etc." every 5 seconds. Ha ha ha! In fact, the one and only time I completely lost it (and screamed at him) was when he did that to me. So he drives now. It's a great trade off. He's happy, and I'm not yelling at him. Ha!!!
15.Who is more stubborn? Reuben!! I will give on most anything.
16.Who kissed who first? He asked me if he could on a plane ride back from a trip to Louisiana. It was really cute, but embarrassing since we were with tons of friends! So it was the quickest little peck in the world! Ha!
17.Who asked who out? Well we hung out all the time as friends for a while...but when I was clueless that he liked me more than a friend, he pretty much had to S-P-E-L-L it out for me. That he liked me and wanted to "date" me officially.
18.Who proposed? He did. The first time we were in McDonalds (I think), but it was sort of a joke. The REAL time was while I was at work in front of everyone! The elevator doors opened up and he was down on his knee with balloons and a stuffed raccoon in tote! Very cute. And I was VERY surprised!
19.Who has more siblings? He does--10 siblings! WOW. But it sure makes family get togethers a lot of fun!

My bag is a Fleurville. I looked forever, too. Even after I bought that one I was wondering if I had done the right thing b/c it was so stinkin expensive! (Even on eBAy.) But I have absolutely love having it now! SO worth every penny. The carseat is the combi with polkadots. I have the Combi Torino stroller, too. We searched forever for the stroller/carseat combo and I must say I love it, too!

Neat to learn more about your hubby. You live on an acre? I'm jealous!

Sweet! It brought back tons of memories of y'all dating--I haven't thought about that trip we all made to Louisiana in a long time! I should scan the scrapbook pages I did of the trip and email them to you--you'd get a kick out of them!

I like this idea of answering questions about you and your spouse. I'll need to do this on my blog.

This is so cute. You guys are a great couple. I understand about the backseat driver thing. Glen is the exact same way. We have had many fights about that.:)
